This International Standard specifies the requirements for the design, manufacture and testing of pressure
relief valves for cryogenic service, i.e. for operation with cryogenic fluids in addition to operation at
temperatures from ambient to cryogenic. It is a requirement of this International Standard that the valves
comply with ISO 4126-1; in the event of different requirements, this International Standard takes precedence.
This International Standard is restricted to valves not exceeding a size of DN 150 designed to relieve
single-phase vapours or gases. A valve may be specified, constructed and tested such that it is suitable for
use with more than one gas or with mixtures of gases.
NOTE This part of ISO 21013 does not provide methods for determining the capacity of relief valve(s) for a particular
cryogenic vessel. Such methods are provided in ISO 21013-3.
