- Scope
- This publication has been prepared as a guide for the visual inspection of aluminum compressed gas cylinders with service pressures of 1800 psig (12 410 kPa) or greater. It is general in nature and does not cover all circumstances for each individual bylinder type or lading. Additional publications prepared by the Compressed Gas Association, Inc.(CGA), that might be helpful include: - CGA C-1, Methods for Hydrostatic Testing of Compressed Gas Cylinders[1]; - CGA C-6, Standards for Visual Inspection of Steel Compressed Gas Cylinders[6]; - CGA C-6.2, Guidelines for Viual Inspection and Requalification of Composite High Pressure Cylinders[7];and - CGA C-6.3, Guidelines for Viual Inspection and Requalification of Low Pressure Aluminum Compressed Gas Cylinders[8]. Since there has been little or no experience with aluminum cylinders in the pressure range from 900 psig to 1800 psig (6200kPa to 12 410 kPa), this publication is derected at cylinders with a service pressure of 1800 psig (12 410 kPa) or greater. CGA C-6.3 is available for cylinders with lower service pressure[8]. Note- It is recommended that existing exemption markings remain intact.
