25、. Occasionally, gas cylinder valves can become blocked by corrosion or foreign material or become inoperable due to external or internal damage. It is an essential safety requirement that such valved cylinders be identified and treated with special care as soon as practicable. The operation of remov

26、ing a valve should only be carried out if the cylinder is made safe with respect to residual gas and pressure. It is recommended that gas suppliers be prepared with both the proper equipment and trained operators for dealing with such valved cylinders. Practical techniques that have been tried and t

27、ested over many years within the gas industry are described. Valve removal activities can pose hazards to the life and physical safety of the operator, especially if the cylinder is under pressure. Valves should only be removed after ensuring there is no residual pressure in the cylinder. 4EN ISO 25

28、760:2015 (E) DIN EN ISO 25760:2015-04 1 Scope This International Standard is intended for suppliers, operators in testing facilities, operators performing cylinder maintenance and any person authorized to remove valves from gas cylinders. It details procedures for the safe removal of valves from cyl

29、inders and includes techniques for the identification of inoperable valves. Only the risks due to gas and gas mixtures under pressure are addressed; other technical issues relating to the removal of a valve from a cylinder are not covered. Some specialized equipment and procedures are in use in part

30、s of the gas industry to safely remove cylinder valves from low pressure gas cylinders while under pressure, e.g. liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); these techniques are not included in this International Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the appli

33、g individual cylinder, tube, pressure drum or manifold combination of these 3.2 valve device that allows gas to enter or exit a gas cylinder and retains the pressure in the cylinder when in the closed position NOTE This also includes the fittings of cylinders in bundles and battery vehicles. 3.3 ino

34、perable valve valve that is blocked, broken or malfunctioning or that in any way prevents gas from entering or exiting the gas cylinder NOTE See Annex A. 5EN ISO 25760:2015 (E) DIN EN ISO 25760:2015-04 3.4 operable valve device that allows gas to enter or exit a gas cylinder 3.5 residual pressure va

35、lve RPV type of valve that prevents the gas cylinder from being totally depressurized by holding back a specific amount of residual pressure NOTE 1 Requirements for this type of valve are specified in ISO 15996. NOTE 2 This valve type is very often associated with a non-return function. 3.6 valve wi

NOTE 2 The expression “pressure relief” is synonymous with “safety relief”, as used in various applicable regulations, codes, standards or specifications. 3.8 quick connect valve c

Clause 5 gives a choice of methods for i

41、noperable valves. Procedures to be followed are given in Clause 6. 4.2 Hazards Especially if the cylinder is under pressure, valve removal methods pose certain hazards to the operator, such as: stored energy from residual pressure (particularly important if the cylinder is not in a vertical position

42、); residual gas hazards, including fire resulting from flammable gas ignitions NOTE Oxidizing gases in the presence of contamination can also cause severe ignition. asphyxiation, oxidation, toxicity/corrosivity, projection of pieces under pressure, cold burns due to vaporization of liquefied gases;

43、and operating devalving machinery and equipment, such as pinch points, rotation and powered machines. 4.3 Operator safety and protection When an operator is removing a blocked or inoperable valve, other individuals should be on site and able to respond in case of an emergency. A risk assessment shal

44、l be performed in order to avoid the exposure of the operator and other persons who could be affected by hazards. The minimum hazards to take into account for this risk analysis are listed in 4.2. After the risk assessment is completed, risks shall be eliminated or minimized as far as reasonably pra

45、cticable by engineering or process changes, such as shields or bunkers. The required or appropriate personnel protective equipment shall be chosen. 4.4 Operator qualifications 4.4.1 General All operators shall have appropriate training, understanding of the cylinder content, when known, and the prec

46、autions which might be necessary to prevent the release or exposure to the gas (see 4.2, 4.3 and 5.2), and good practical understanding of the cylinder valve and the method of fitment to the cylinder. 7EN ISO 25760:2015 (E) DIN EN ISO 25760:2015-04 4.4.2 Specific process qualifications Due to additi

47、onal hazards that are present, operators shall receive specific training for the processes outlined in this International Standard. Such processes can include the pressure check, the devalving process, the inoperable valve process. Proper precautions shall be taken in the work area to protect operat

48、ors from gas and particle discharges. Appropriate personal protection equipment shall be worn, and emergency equipment shall be readily available. Personal protection during devalving shall be adopted according to the hazards that may be present, such as those indicated in 4.2. 4.5 Operator errors A

49、s a minimum, the following possibilities shall be considered in the context of operator errors. Incorrectly assuming that a cylinder has no pressure (e.g. placing valved cylinders that have been checked with valved cylinders that have not been checked). Incorrectly assuming that a cylinder has been checked for pressure (e.g. devalving more than one cylinder at the same time could lead to this error). Incorrectly assuming that a cylinder is empty of a liquefied gas, based upon the
