IS 16299 : 2014 : Periodic Inspection and Requalification - High Pressure Steel Cylinders for the On-Board Storage of Compressed Natural Gas as a Fuel for Automotive Vehicles, Cylinders for HCNG Blends and CNG Cascade Cylinders - Code of Practice

Reaffirmed 2024

1 SCOPE

This standard deals with seamless steel cylinders intended for on-board storage of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a fuel, intended to be permanently fixed to the automotive vehicle, cylinders for HCNG blendsand CNG cascade cylinders.

This standard specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing to verify the integrity of such gas cylinders to be re-introduced into service for further period of time.

This standard does not apply for periodic inspection and testing of composite cylinders.
