Full Description

This part of ISO 3807 specifies the basic requirements for acetylene cylinders without fusible plugs or other safety devices with a maximum nominal water capacity of 150 l. It includes the procedures for type testing, production batch testing and the methods for determining the maximum permissible settled pressure in acetylene cylinders and the porosity of the porous mass. It also contains requirements for filling conditions of acetylene cylinders and bundles.

It does not include details of design for the cylinder shell; these are specified e.g. in ISO 4705, ISO 4706, ISO 9809-1 or ISO 9809-3.
