LPG Equipment and accessories. Specification and testing for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) pressure vessel valves and fittings
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
BSI | 2014 | 48 |
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for the design, testing and production testing of valves, including appropriate fittings, which are connected to mobile or static LPG pressure vessels above 150 l water capacity. Pressure relief valves and their ancillary equipment, contents gauges and automotive LPG components are outside the scope of this European Standard.
This European Standard does not apply to refineries or other process plants.
