本欧洲标准规定了用于压缩，液化和溶解气体的复合气瓶的材料，设计，结构，原型测试和常规制造检验的最低要求。 注1:对于本欧洲标准，“气瓶”一词包括管道（水容量超过150升，不超过3000升的无缝可运输的压力贮器）。 本欧洲标准适用于包含金属材料（焊接或无缝）衬垫或非金属材料（或其混合物）的圆柱体，由通过玻璃，碳或芳族聚酰胺纤维（或其混合物）的缠绕复合材料增强）嵌入矩阵。 本欧洲标准也适用于无衬套的复合气瓶。 本欧洲标准不适用于部分被纤维覆盖的气瓶，通常称为“环箍”气瓶。有关环绕的复合气瓶，请参见EN 12257。 注2本欧洲标准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。 本欧洲标准主要用于液化石油气以外的工业气体，但也可应用于液化石油气。 注3为专用

This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for the materials, design, construction, prototype testing and routine manufacturing inspections of composite gas cylinders for compressed, liquefied and dissolved gases. NOTE 1 For the purposes of this European Standard, the word "cylinder" includes tubes (seamless transportable pressure receptacles of a water capacity exceeding 150 litres and of not more than 3 000 litres). This European Standard is applicable to cylinders that comprise a liner of metallic material (welded or seamless) or non-metallic material (or a mixture thereof), reinforced by a wound composite consisting of fibres of glass, carbon or aramid (or a mixture thereof) embedded in a matrix. This European Standard is also applicable to composite cylinders without liners. This European Standard is not applicable to gas cylinders which are partially covered with fibres and commonly called "hoop wrapped" cylinders. For hoop wrapped composite cylinders, see EN 12257. NOTE 2 This European Standard does not address the design, fitting and performance of removable protective sleeves. Where these are fitted, they should be considered separately. This European Standard is primarily for industrial gases other than LPG but may also be applied to LPG. NOTE 3 For dedicated LPG cylinders, see EN 14427.
