PAGE iii AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for

12、 approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agree-ment has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not neces

13、sarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be con-sidered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect pre-clude anyone, whether he has approved the standa

14、rds or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no

15、 person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for interpretations should be addressed to the secretariat or sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard. CAUTIO

16、N NOTICE: The American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The proce-dures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken to periodically reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current infor

17、mation on all standards by calling or writing the American National Standards Institute, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036. Approved as an American National Standard on December 12, 2014. PAGE iv COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION, INC. CGA G-2.12014 FOREWORD (This Foreword is not a part of American N

18、ational Standard Requirements for the Storage and Handling of An-hydrous Ammonia.) This standard represents the consensus of interested parties concerning minimum safety requirements for the storage, transportation, and handling of anhydrous ammonia. It is intended to serve as a guide for regulatory

19、 authorities in writing their own regulations as well as to assist designers of ammonia installations and others having an interest in its requirements such as safety engineers, insurance organizations, and transportation carriers. The first edition of the K61.1 Standard was published in 1960 and wa

20、s based on a standard of the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA) completed in 1950, and submitted to the then American Standards Association for adoption as an American Standard. CGAs standard was used to assist in developing regulations during the early period of the expanded use of anhydrous am

21、monia for agricultural purposes. This took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In 1953 the Agricultural Ammonia Institute (AAI) published its first standard (M-1) for the storage and handling of agricultural ammonia, which has been revised at frequent intervals to remain current with progress i

22、n the agricultural ammonia industry. When the first American Standard for ammonia was approved in 1960, it made available to those concerned two standards on ammonia from which to choose. Many of the states had already adopted as their regulations, the M-1 standard of the AAI, and from then on the a

23、mmonia industry was continually faced with the conflict of having two differing standards available dealing with safety requirements for anhydrous ammonia. The American Standard was revised in 1966 under the sponsorship of CGA and the second edition was made available to interested parties along wit

24、h revised editions of the similar standards of AAI. In 1968 the Agricultural Nitrogen Institute (ANI), successor to AAI, requested cosponsorship of the K61 project. CGA supported cosponsorship to achieve the endorsement of a single American National Standard that could be supported jointly by ANI an

25、d CGA. The ANI has since merged with the National Plant Food Institute to become The Fertilizer Institute (TFI). As cosecretariats of the K61 Project, CGA and TFI reconciled the differences between the American National Standard K61.1-1966 and the M-1 Standard of The Fertilizer Institute. A revision

26、 was prepared and submitted to the K61 Committee for consideration. The 1972 and subsequent editions of the K61.1 Standard not only replace the 1966 edition of the American National Standard K61.1, but also supersede the 1966 edition of CGA G-2.1 and the 1968 edition of The Ferti-lizer Institute M-1

27、 Standard. Following the 1984 revision of the 1981 edition of the K61.1 Standard, The Fertilizer Institute withdrew from cosponsorship of the K61.1 Standard in 1987, however, TFI elected to continue as an active participant on the K61 Committee. The 1989 edition represented a substantial reorganizat

28、ion and expansion of material contained in prior editions with individual sections devoted to ammonia safety and the use of water in emergencies. A new section regard-ing tank cars was added in recognition of the importance of the rail transportation mode. Other sections were updated to reflect majo

29、r changes in the areas of technology and regulatory matters. The 1999 edition incorporated the International System of Units (SI) in recognition of the global harmonization movement. The Pressure Relief Device section underwent a major rewrite to provide consistency and account for excessive heat or

30、 fire protection. There were also some marking and labeling changes in the regulatory ar-ea. The 2014 edition includes updated ammonia exposure information and extensive revision of the safety section to incorporate current regulatory and safety requirements and regulations. This edition also includ

31、es revised requirements for the re-installation of large pressure vessels, for the repair or alteration of pressure vessels, CGA G-2.12014 COMPRESSED GAS ASSOCIATION, INC. PAGE v and for dealing with pressure vessels with missing dataplates by incorporating provisions of the National Board Inspectio

32、n Code (NBIC). A new section defines specifications and inspection requirements for pressure transfer hoses used specifically in ammonia service (Information about pressure transfer hose requirements was previ-ously addressed in an appendix to the 1999 edition). Another new section defines the requi

33、rements for heating devices for containers. The refrigerated storage pressure relief valves section also underwent another rewrite to address abnormal operating conditions and fire scenarios with respect to relief requirements. Suggestions for improvements of this standard will be welcome. They shou

34、ld be sent to the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 25 W. 43rd St., New York, NY 10036, or to the Compressed Gas Association, Inc., 14501 George Carter Way, Suite 103, Chantilly, VA 20151.
