ISO 12209:2013 Gas cylinders - Outlet connections for gas cylinder valves for compressed breathable air

standard by International Organization for Standardization, 09/01/2013

Full Description

ISO 12209:2013 specifies the characteristics of outlet connections for gas cylinder valves for compressed breathable air gas cylinders. It states the fundamental requirements for both; the connection and its components and includes basic dimensions. Included in ISO 12209:2013 the following connections:

a) yoke type outlet connection for SCUBA use up to a maximum cylinder working pressure of 232 bar;

b) threaded type outlet connections up to a maximum cylinder working pressure of 232 bar and 300 bar; and

c) threaded type outlet connection for SCUBA use up to a maximum cylinder working pressure of 232 bar including adaptor for users to convert into a yoke type outlet.

Annex A gives the outlet connection type test procedures.

Requirements for cylinder valves (see ISO 10297) are not covered by ISO 12209:2013.

Requirements for material specifications and gas/material compatibility (see ISO 11114-1 and ISO 11114-2) are not covered by ISO 12209:2013.
