IS 9798 : 2013 : Low Pressure Regulators for Use with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Mixtures

Reaffirmed 2019

1. Scope

This standard specifies materials, construction, performance and testing requirements for low pressure single or two stage regulators for use with liquefied petroleum gas mixtures in vapour phase up to 4.903 kN/m2 [50gf/ cm2 or 500 mm water column (WC)] outlet pressure.

NOTE — Low pressure is considered to be any pressure below 6.894 kN/m2 (70.3gf/cm2). Domestic and commercial appliances normally operate at gas pressure of 2.942 kN/m2 (30 gf/cm2 or 300 mm water column).
