本欧洲标准规定了压缩，液化和溶解气体的水容量高达450升的复合气瓶的材料，设计，结构，原型测试和常规制造检验的最低要求。 注意为了本标准的目的，“气瓶”一词包括高达450升水容量的管道。 该标准适用于通过玻璃，碳，芳族聚酰胺或电线的缠绕复合纤维构成在大部分平行长度上加强的无缝金属衬套的气缸。 该标准不适用于几乎完全被纤维覆盖的通常称为“完全包裹”的气瓶的气瓶。对于完全包装的复合气瓶，请参见prEN 12245。 注意本规范不涉及可拆卸保护套的设计，安装和性能。如果安装这些，应分开考虑

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for the materials, design, construction, prototype testing and routine manufacturing inspections of composite gas cylinders with a water capacity up to and including 450 litres for compressed, liquefied and dissolved gases. NOTE For the purposes of this standard, the word "cylinder" includes tubes up to 450 litres water capacity. This standard is applicable to cylinders that comprise a seamless metal liner reinforced over a substantial part of the parallel length by wound composite fibres of glass, carbon, aramid, or wire. This standard is not applicable to gas cylinders which are almost totally covered with fibres and commonly called "fully-wrapped" cylinders. For fully-wrapped composite cylinders see prEN 12245. NOTE The specification does not address the design, fitting and performance of removable protective sleeves. Where these are fitted they should be considered separately.
