This standard is redrafted by reference to and not equivalent to ISO 9809-3:2010 Gas cylinders - Refillable seamless steel gas cylinders - Design, construction and testing - Part 3: Normalized steel cylinders.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This part was proposed by and is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee on Gas Cylinder of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 31).
The previous editions of standard replaced by this part are as follows:
——GB 5099-1985 and GB/T 5099-1994.
Seamless steel gas cylinders - Part 3: Normalized cylinders
1 Scope
This part of GB/T 5099 specifies the type and parameters, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, coating, packaging, transportation, storage, product certificate, and quality certificate for batch inspection of normalized or normalized and tempered steel seamless gas cylinders (hereinafter referred to as steel cylinders).
This part is applicable to the design and manufacture of refillable steel cylinders with nominal working pressure not greater than 15 MPa, nominal water capacity of 0.5 L ~ 150 L and the environment temperature for use of -20℃~60℃, used to contain compressed gas or high-pressure liquefied gas.
This part is not applicable to vehicle gas cylinders and cylinder-type pressure vessels attached to machinery and equipment.
Note: the seamless steel gas cylinders with the nominal water capacity less than 0.5 L can also be manufactured and inspected with reference to this part.
