Gas cylinders — Refillable seamless steel — Performance tests — Part 1: Philosophy, background and conclusions

This part of ISO/TR 12931 applies to seamless steel refillable cylinders of all sizes from 0,5 l up to and including

150 l water capacity produced of steel with tensile strength (Rm) greater than 1 100 MPa.

It can also be applied to cylinders produced of steels used at lower tensile strengths. In particular, it provides the

technical rationale and background to guide future alterations of existing ISO standards or for developing advanced

design standards.
