18、(VIPR) (see ISO 22435). This International Standard may be applied to cylinder valves at the time of the periodic inspection of gas cylinders, bundles, drums and trailers, and at any other time, e.g. at change of gas service (see ISO 11621). It does not apply to routine inspection of cylinder valves
19、 carried out at the time of cylinder filling. NOTE National standards and regulations may apply to maintenance of cylinder valves. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

28、ry, but do not require dismantling of the cylinder valve, e.g. pressure relief device (PRD), pressure gauges, flowmeter 3.4.3 refurbishment operation involving dismantling of the cylinder valve, evaluation of its internal components, and reassembly to make it suitable for further service 4 General r
29、equirements 4.1 Occurrence If a cylinder valve is deemed to require maintenance at any time, e.g. at time of periodic test of the gas cylinder, it shall either be scrapped, or be subject to the procedures given below. 4.2 Personnel Cylinder valves shall be inspected, maintained and removed from gas
30、cylinders by competent personnel only. 4.3 Safety concerns Prior to removing the cylinder valve from a gas cylinder it shall be verified that no pressure remains in the cylinder. See ISO 6406:2005, Annex D. NOTE Special techniques and equipment exist in some industries, e.g. LPG, for removing valves
31、 safely from cylinders under pressure. BS EN ISO 22434:2011EN ISO 22434:2011 (E) ISO 20 3Inspection and minor repairs may be carried out on cylinder valves while they are connected to a pressurized gas cylinder, but this requires special procedures. Major repairs and refurbishment shall only be perf
32、ormed on a cylinder valve in a de-pressurized cylinder or on a removed valve. 5 Inspection and maintenance Inspection will determine if a cylinder valve is suitable for continued service or if maintenance is required, and the level of that maintenance. 5.1 Inspection Inspection of cylinder valves co
33、mprises external examination preceded by cleaning, where necessary. 5.1.1 Cleaning The cylinder valve shall be clean externally to facilitate inspection. a) Contamination, foreign bodies and corrosion products shall be removed from the valve outlet taking care not to damage any sealing surfaces. b)
34、If any cleaning media are used, they are to be suitable for the intended gas service (e.g. medical), the materials of construction of the cylinder valve, the gas cylinder and the associated downstream equipment. Cleaning media shall be completely removed. 5.1.2 External examination valve remaining i
35、n the gas cylinder Cylinder valves shall be examined for defects including the following: a) the spindle does not move smoothly or is difficult to turn; b) bent, deformed, corroded, badly marked and scored bodies or those with cracks; c) bent or damaged spindles; d) cross-threaded, damaged, worn, co
36、rroded or stripped valve outlet and filling connections; e) damaged, corroded or worn outlet sealing surfaces and/or any non-metallic sealing element; f) any indication of having been subjected to excessive heat or having been in a fire; g) foreign matter obstructing or blocking ports; h) distorted
37、wrenching flats on key operated valves; i) evidence of abuse or tampering; j) evidence of damaged gauges; k) damage to handwheels; l) missing or damaged residual pressure valve unit; m) incorrect rating of pressure relief device; n) inappropriate valve for the gas service; o) contamination or suspec
38、t improper lubrication or sealant at the valve to cylinder interface; p) loose gland nuts. BS EN ISO 22434:2011EN ISO 22434:2011 (E)114 ISO 20115.1.3 Additional external examination Valve removed from gas cylinder In addition to the above requirements, if the cylinder valve has been removed from the
39、 gas cylinder, it shall be visually examined for the following additional defects after all residual jointing compound has been removed from the valve stem thread: a) contamination, foreign bodies and corrosion products in the valve stem bore; b) cross-threaded, damaged, worn, deformed or stripped v
40、alve stem threads; c) damaged dip tube, eductor tube or retaining threads; d) damaged inlet filter; e) damaged liquid or pressure level indicating device; f) damaged overfill prevention device; g) damaged excess flow prevention device. 5.1.4 Acceptance criteria Cylinder valves not exhibiting defects
41、 listed in 5.1.2 (and 5.1.3 if applicable) may re-enter service. Cylinder valves with any of the defects listed above shall either be subject to maintenance in accordance with 5.2, or scrapped in accordance with Clause 9. 5.2 Maintenance 5.2.1 Minor repairs Hand wheels and other non-pressure retaini
42、ng parts shall be assessed for reuse, repair or replacement as appropriate. 5.2.2 Major repairs If required, gland nuts shall be re-torqued to the original manufacturing value and using the recommended procedures. For cylinder valves equipped with pressure relief devices (PRD), if the PRD is to be r
43、eplaced, it shall be replaced by items to the manufacturers original specification and in accordance with their instructions. Other accessories requiring replacement are to meet the original valve manufacturers specification and are to be replaced according to their instructions. 5.2.3 Refurbishment
44、 5.2.3.1 General Cylinder valves may only be refurbished if they are designed to be dismantled and reassembled. Refurbishment shall be carried out after decontamination, as appropriate. Where replacement parts are used, they shall be in accordance with the cylinder valve manufacturers specification
45、for the intended gas service. Cylinder valves shall be dismantled in accordance with the original manufacturers specifications, using appropriate tools and in a work area specially set aside for this activity. BS EN ISO 22434:2011EN ISO 22434:2011 (E) ISO 20 55.2.3.2 Component examination and evalua
46、tion The stem thread of each valve body shall be visually examined to assess whether it has been subjected to excessive damage, deformation or wear. The outlet connection(s) of each valve body shall be visually examined to confirm freedom from corrosion, damage, or excessive wear. Internal passagewa
47、ys shall be examined to ensure that they are free of foreign matter. The valve outlet sealing face shall be examined for damage, wear and corrosion. Any outlet non-metallic sealing element shall be replaced by a new one in accordance with the valve manufacturers specification. If the design of the v
48、alve allows, any of the above defects may be corrected, provided the dimensions remain within the original design standard, otherwise the cylinder valve shall be scrapped in accordance with Clause 9. All internal component parts of the cylinder valve shall be visually inspected to assess suitability
49、 for re-use (absence of excessive wear, damage or contamination). All non-metallic sealing materials shall be examined as to their suitability for further service and replaced as necessary in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Cylinder valves or components that are unsuitable for further service shall be scrapped in accordance with Clause 9. All re-used components of the valve shall be clean to the original manufacturers specification. WARNING Cylinder valves intended for oxygen service or ot
