IS 3196 : Part 2 : 2006 Welded Low Carbon Steel Cylinders Exceeding 5 Litre Water Capacity for Low Pressure Liquefiable Gases - Part 2 : Cylinders for Liquefiable Non-Toxic Gases Other than LPG - Specification

ICS 11.040.10 MED 16
Reaffirmed 2020

1 Scope

1.1 This standard (Part 2) deals with welded low carbonsteel cylinders intended for storage and transportation oflow pressure liquefiable gases other than LPG of nominalcapacity exceeding 5 Iitre up to and including 250 Iitrewater capacity. This standard lays down the minimumrequirements for the materials, design, manufacture,construction, tests and marking of these cylinders.

1.1.1 Cylinders of water capacity up to 5 litre are coveredin a separate standard IS 7142.
