DIN EN 14140:2015-03

DIN EN 14140 specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction and testing during manufacture of transportable refillable welded steel Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, of water capacity from 0,5 l up to and including 150 l, exposed to temperatures of -20 °C to +65 °C. It allows alternative design and construction methods to those required in EN 1442, including coated cylinders, over-moulded cylinders and cylinders for hot air balloons. This European Standard applies only to pressure receptacles with a circular cross-section. This European Standard does not include the equipping of the cylinders with valves and other service equipment. Compared to the previous edition from 2007, in particular the hot air balloon and over-moulded cylinders have been added to the scope. The terminology has been updated. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 016-00-06 AA "Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstung; Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 286" ("Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories; Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 286") at DIN Standards Committee Pressurized Gas installations (NDG).
