All cylinders shall conform to the specifications found in 49 CFR 178, subpart C. The seamless steel cylinders shall con

22、form to Department of Transportation (DOT) specification 3AA, type 4130X steel in accordance with 49 CFR 178.37. The aluminum cylinders shall conform to DOT specification 3AL in accordance with 49 CFR 178.46. The physical characteristics, accessories and special requirements shall be as specified he

23、rein and in the acquisition document. The cylinder shall be newly fabricated within one year of the date of the contract or acquisition order. 3.2 Construction. 3.2.1 Stability. Cylinders shall be true to form and shall be stable in the upright position. 3.2.2 Fragmentation resistance (non-shatterab

24、ility). The fragment resistance or non-shatterability (shatterproof) characteristics of the cylinder shall be determined by either the resultant wall stress value of the cylinder at the minimum designated test pressure or by the performance of the specified gunfire test (see 4.3.4). Cylinders manufa

25、ctured to DOT specification 3AA of 4130X steel that are greater than four inches in outside diameter shall have a maximum wall stress of 70,000 psig as stated in 49 CFR 178.37. Cylinders manufactured to DOT specification 3AA of 4130X steel that are less than four inches in diameter shall have a maxi

26、mum wall stress of 60,000 psig. Cylinders meeting these requirements shall be acceptable as non-shatterable cylinders and shall be steel stamped “NONSHAT“. Cylinders manufactured to DOT specification 3AA of 4130X steel that are less than four inches in diameter and have a resultant wall stress value

27、 greater than 60,000 psig must pass the gunfire test to be acceptable as shatterproof cylinders. Steel cylinders manufactured of other than 4130X steel to DOT specification 3AA and all aluminum cylinders must pass the gunfire test to be acceptable as shatterproof cylinders. 3.2.3 Impact resistance.

28、When impact resistance is specified (see 6.2), samples of each heat of steel represented in a lot of cylinders shall have a minimum lateral expansion of 0.015 inches or greater than 50 percent fibrous fracture at a temperature not higher than -58 F (-50 C) in accordance with ASTM E23. Sub-sized samp

29、les from a cylinder wall may be used or a sample Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-RR-C-901E 5 from a cylinder wall of greater thickness may be used if the source, processing, and heat treatment of the steel parallels the source, proces

30、sing, and heat treatment of the cylinders under consideration. 3.3 Cylinder processing. 3.3.1 Preconditioning and internal preservation. After hydrostatic and any other testing, the cylinder internal surface shall be cleaned and dried to be free of moisture, oil, grease, grit, machining products, lo

31、ose scale, slag, or other foreign materials. Rust bloom or particulate matter (approximately 1.0 to 1.5 grams) generated subsequent to inspection as a result of handling and shipping is acceptable. Cleaning agents used shall be compatible with the cylinder materials and the intended gas service. 3.3

32、.2 Oil and hydrocarbon residue. Residual oil and other hydrocarbons resulting from the manufacture of the cylinder shall be removed to a level not greater than 2.5 milligrams (mg) per square foot of internal surface area, but shall not exceed 20 mg per cylinder regardless of the size of the cylinder

33、. Trailer tubes shall not contain more than 40 mg of oil or residual hydrocarbons. Verification of cleanliness shall be measured by gravimetric or infrared analysis or any equivalent chemical analysis method. 3.3.3 Moisture content. Cylinders tested hydrostatically and/or internally flushed for clea

34、ning, or cylinders that were tested or flushed with moisture-laden air, shall be immediately dried with hot filtered air or nitrogen to insure the effluent air or gas has a dew point lower than 30 F (-1 C). Immediately after internal drying, the cylinder shall be closed with the designated valve or

35、plug (see table IV). 3.3.4 Internal cylinder preparation. When specified (see 6.2) or as needed, the internal surface of steel cylinders shall be cleared of all mill scale, rust, and oxidation to the reduced metal level by use of an abrasive process such as shot or bead blasting. Aluminum cylinders

36、shall be cleaned free of residue by vapor degreasing or equivalent process. 3.3.5 Internal cylinder preservation. When specified (see 6.2), cylinders closed with a valve shall be pressurized to approximately 5 psig with dry oil-free nitrogen, type I, grade A or B, class 1, in accordance with A-A-595

37、03, or type I, grade L or better in accordance with CGA G-10.1. The cylinder shall then be tagged at the valve with “PRESERVED WITH NITROGEN GAS“. 3.4 Tare weight. The cylinders maximum tare weight shall be as specified in tables II or III and shall be stamped into the shoulder of the cylinder in a

38、position other than in sequence with another DOT permanent marking (see 3.6.1). The marking shall be displayed as required by CGA TB-15. The marking shall represent the tare weight of the cylinder and valve with an accuracy of 1 percent and shall be displayed in pounds (lb.) and ounces (oz.) unless

39、otherwise specified. 3.5 Delivery date. The cylinders shall be newly fabricated and delivered within one year from the date of manufacture. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-RR-C-901E 6 3.6 Cylinder identification. Unless otherwise spec

40、ified herein, markings shall be in characters not less than 0.25 inch (6.350 millimeters (mm) high. On cylinders 6 inches (152.4 mm) in outside diameter or larger, the markings shall be in characters 0.375 inch (9.525 mm) high. 3.6.1 Standard permanent markings. The standard permanent markings as re

41、quired by the appropriate DOT specification shall be plainly and permanently marked by stamping into the shoulder or the neck of each cylinder. 3.6.2 Additional special permanent markings. The following permanent markings shall be stamped into the shoulder or neck of the cylinder as they are specifi

42、ed or as they apply to the cylinder being manufactured or its dedicated application: 3.6.2.1 Ownership markings. All cylinders being purchased by a U.S. Government agency shall be stamped with “US GOVT“ to indicate government ownership. Cylinders four inches or greater in diameter shall be marked wi

43、th 0.375-inch (9.525 mm) characters. Cylinders less than four inches in diameter shall be stamped with 0.25-inch (6.350 mm) characters. The symbols shall be stamped directly below or offset 90 degrees from the DOT permanent markings. 3.6.2.2 Tare weight. All cylinders being used in liquefied gas app

44、lication shall have the tare weight applied to the cylinder (see 3.4). 3.6.2.3 Impact resistance. All cylinders tested and designated impact resistant shall have the designation of “-50 C“ applied to the cylinder. 3.6.2.4 Shatterproof. All cylinders meeting the shatterproof characteristics of this s

45、pecification shall be stamped “NONSHAT“. 3.6.3 Special markings.
