The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
14、technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates clo
15、sely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Dra
16、ft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this docu
17、ment may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 15995 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders, Subcommittee SC 2, Cylinder fittings. ISO 2006 All rights reserved ISO 15995:2006(E) v Introduction This
18、International Standard calls for the use of substances and procedures that can be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability and does not absolve the user from legal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage. It has been assumed in
19、 the drafting of this International Standard that execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. ISO 2006 All rights reserved ISO 15995:2006(E) v 1 Gas cylinders Specifications and testing of LPG cylinder valves Manually operated 1 Scope This Internationa
20、l Standard specifies the requirements for design, specification and type testing of dedicated LPG manually operated cylinder valves specifically for use with transportable refillable LPG cylinders from 0,5 l up to 150 l water capacity. It includes references to associated equipment for vapour or liq
21、uid service. NOTE Annex C gives the recommendations for production testing and inspection. This International Standard does not apply to fixed automotive installations. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

ISO 2006 All rights reserved ISO 15995:2006(E) 4 4 Design and specification 4.1 General 4.1.1 The valve shall
39、be capable of withstanding: ? operating pressures and test pressures; ? mechanical stresses, including dynamic loads such as pressure shocks or cyclic changes; ? operating temperatures. NOTE Pressures are gauged unless otherwise specified. 4.1.2 There shall be valve external and internal leak tightn
40、ess for the full range of pressure and temperature conditions. 4.1.3 The specific requirements relating to the functions, mechanical strength, pressure, operating temperatures, external and internal leak tightness of the valve and its components, are detailed in the following subclauses of this clau
41、se and/or in the relevant test of Clause 5. 4.2 Materials 4.2.1 General Materials in contact with LPG shall be physically and chemically compatible with LPG under all operating conditions for which the valve is designed (see ISO 11114-1 and ISO 11114-2). In selecting an appropriate material for valv
42、e components, it is important to select not only for adequate strength in service, but also to give consideration to other modes of failure due to atmospheric corrosion, brass dezincification, stress corrosion, shock loads, and material failure. 4.2.2 Operating temperatures Materials used shall be s
43、uitable for the temperatures for which the valve is designed. The minimum operating temperature to which the valve is expected to be exposed during normal use is minus 20 C. In service, temperatures below this may be encountered during short periods, for example, during filling. Where necessary, e.g
44、. in some countries and for certain applications, lower minimum operating temperatures shall be used. When equipment is designed for a temperature of minus 40 C, it shall also meet the requirements of Annex D. The maximum operating temperature to which the valve is expected to be exposed during norm
45、al operation is 65 C. In service, this temperature may be exceeded for short periods. 4.2.3 Copper alloys Valve bodies made from copper alloys shall be manufactured from materials in accordance with recognized standards, e.g. EN 12164 and EN 12165, or from alloys of equivalent properties and standar
46、ds. 4.2.4 Non-metallic materials Non-metallic materials in contact with LPG shall be compatible with LPG, e.g. ISO 11114-2. They shall not distort, harden or adhere to the body or seat face to such an extent as to impair the function of the valve. ISO 2006 All rights reserved ISO 15995:2006(E) 5 In
47、accordance with national or international standards, for example EN 549, non-metallic materials in contact with LPG shall meet the requirements for resistance to: ? gas (pentane test); ? lubricants; ? ageing; ? low temperature; ? high temperature; ? compression; ? ozone (where the material is expose
48、d to the atmosphere). 4.3 Essential components 4.3.1 Valve operating mechanism The valve operating mechanism normally includes a hand wheel. The valve operating mechanism shall be designed in such a way that it remains captive and achieves direct contact with the valve body in the absence of the sea
49、ling element, in order to limit the leakage rate of gas. Under normal use, the valve shall operate without difficulty even after prolonged use and shall satisfy the requirements of 5.17. The operating mechanism shall withstand an opening and closing torque in accordance with 5.12 and 5.13. When a torque is applied in excess of that given in 5.12 and 5.13 the operating mechanism shall not disassemble from the valve body and create a leak. However, the operating mechanism may break or become inoperable. The materi
