IS 16185 : 2014 : Periodic Inspection and Testing - Welded Carbon Steel Gas Cylinders - Code of Practice

Reaffirmed 2019

1 SCOPE

This standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing of refillable welded carbon steel gas cylinders intended for compressed, liquefied (excluding DA) under pressure, of water capacity from 5 litre up to and including 250 litre to verify the integrity for further service. It also applies, as far as practicable, to cylinders of less than 5 litre water capacity.

This standard does not apply to the periodic inspection and testing of acetylene cylinders or composite cylinders.

This standard is primarily for industrial gases other than liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). For specific LPG applications (see IS 16054).
