7.6.2 Following the cyclic test there shall be no extrusion of the fusible material from the pressure relief
device. After the test, pressure relief device shall comply with the requirements of Leakage Test (7.5) and
Activation Test (7.8).
7.7 Accelerated Life Testing
7.7.1 Fusible materials can creep and flow with the operating temperature range of natural gas vehicle
PRDs. The test is to be performed to verify that the rate of creep is sufficiently low so that the device can
perform reliably for at least one year at 82°C and for at least 20 years at 57°C. The test shall be performed
on new PRD designs or designs in which the fusible material melting temperature or device activation
mechanism has been modified. For devices not using activation material that can creep, testing and
analysis shall be performed to verify that the device will perform reliably for at least one year at 82°C and
at least 20 years at 57°C.
7.7.2 Long-Term Temperature
It is assumed that the time-to-activation, t, of fusible alloys is a rate process governed by the power-law
relationship of the formula:
t = A.TB
where T is temperature, and A, B are constants dependent upon the fusible alloy and PRD design.
The calculated time-to-activation for the PRD shall be greater than one year at 82°C and at least 20 years at
57°C, and shall exceed 500 h, long-term test temperature.
Mathematical manipulation results in the following requirement for long-term test temperature:
TL = T (0.057) 0.34[log(T/Tf)]
2
Amend No. 2 to IS 3224 : 2002
where
TL = long-term test temperature, in °C;
Tf = fusible material yield temperature, in °C;
T = 82°C; and
log = 10.
7.7.3 Based on the actual yield temperature of the fusible alloy, long term temperature shall be calculated.
The test specimen shall be placed in an oven or liquid bath, holding the specimens temperature to long term
temperature ±1°C. The pressure on PRD inlet shall be elevated to 130 percent of working pressure and be
held constant within ±0.7 MPa until activation.
7.7.4 The test shall be carried out on five PRDs out of which:
a) two PRDs shall be tested at the fusible material yield temperature to verify that they activate
in less than 10 h; and
b) three PRDs shall be tested at their long term test temperature. The time to activation for long
term test devices shall exceed 500 h.
7.8 Activation Test

7.8.1 One CNG valve which had not been subjected to any other tests shall be heated in oven at a
temperature of 10°C above the yield temperature of the fusible material. The PRD shall be pressurized until
disc ruptures.
7.8.2 Valves subjected to cyclic test or thermal cyclic test or condensation corrosion resistance test or
vibration test shall activate at a pressure >75 percent and <105 percent of the activation pressure not
subjected to any previous testing.
7.9 Thermal Cyclic Test

7.9.1 A CNG valve shall be thermally cycled between −20°C and 82°C as given below:
a) A depressurized PRD shall be placed in a fluid bath maintained at −20°C or lower for a period of
2 h or more. Then the device shall be transferred to a fluid bath maintained at 82°C or higher
within 5 min.
b) The depressurized PRD shall be kept in the fluid bath maintained at 82°C or higher for a period of
2 h or more. Then the device shall be transferred to the fluid bath maintained at −20°C or lower
within 5 min.
The above steps shall be repeated to achieve a total of 15 thermal cycles. Then the PRD shall be cycled
between 10 percent to 100 percent of the designed working pressure for a total of 100 cycles.
7.9.2 After completion of the test, PRD shall meet all the requirements of Leakage Test (7.5) and
7.10 Condensate Corrosion Resistance Test
7.10.1 Select one valve at random and seal the outlet part of the PRD. Fill the PRD with test solution given
in 7.10.3 and soak the device for 100 h at room temperature. Empty the solution from the PRD and reseal
the outlet port, then heat the device for an additional 100 h at 82°C.

- 84.8 percent Stoddard solvent,
- 10.0 percent Benzene,
- 2.5 percent fryquel No. 15 or No. 20 compressor oil,
- 1.5 percent water,
- 1.0 percent methanol, and
- 0.2 percent mercaptan.
7.11 Vibration Test
7.11.1 One CNG valve shall be vibrated for 2 h in a test apparatus at 17 Hz with amplitude of 1.5 mm in
each of the three directions (90° towards each other).
7.11.2 On completion of this total 6 h of vibration, the valve shall comply with the requirements of Leakage
Test (7.5) and Activation Test (7.8).

Gas Cylinders Sectional Committee, MED 16
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Gas CylindersSectionalCommitteehad been approved by the Mechanical EngineeringDivisionalCouncil.
Manufacture, possession and use of any gas contained in cylinders in compressed or liquefied state is regulated
under the Gas Cylinder Rules, 1981 of the Government of India as amended from time to time. This standard
has been prepared in consultation and agreement with the statutory authorities under those rules.
The valve outlets have been separated into four basic groups, depending on the thread engagement - internal
and external as well as right hand and left hand thread. Outlet No.4 has been merged with outlet No.2 and
outlet No.8 has been deleted after the publicationof IS 8737 : 1995 'Specification for valve fittings for use with
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders of more than 5 litre water capacity'.
This standard was originally based on BS 341 Part 1: 1962. 'Valve fittings for compressed gas cylinders'. This
standard has since been revised as as 341 Part 1: 1991 has been published. The major changes are introduction
of various additional safety requirements. The third revision of this Indian Standard has been necessitated on
account of above and as a result of experience gained by the industry and consumers over the year. Considerable
assistance has also been derived from:
a) DIN477-1963 Sheet 1 'Specificationfor Gas CylinderValves- Types, Sizes, Connectionsand Threads'
Deutsches Institut ftlr Nonnang (Germany),
b) ANSI/CSA/CGA STANDARD V-1-1987 'CompressedGas CylinderValveOutletand InletConnections'
American National Standard, and
c) The Chlorine Institute Inc., New York, 'Container Procedure for Chlorine Packaging - Pamphlet
No.7'
Valve fittings for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders are covered in the following specifications:
IS 8737 : 1995 'Specification for valve fittings for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders of
more than 5 litre water capacity'.
IS 8776 : 1988 •Specificationfor valve fittings for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders up
to and including 5 litre water capacity'.
The quantities in this standard have been expressed in International System (81) units. However, with a view to
facilitate the user to understand the comparative concept of the 81 units and the technical metric units, the
corresponding conversion factors are given below for guidance:
I kgf/cm! 98.066 5 kPa (kilopascal)
= 0.098 066 5 MPa (megapascal)
= 0.980 665 bar
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex D.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded ofT value should be same as that of the specified value in this standard.

NOTE --- Designatio« ofthreads 011 the valve outlet - In this standard, valve outlet threadsare designated by using a combination of three
terms. The first term indicates whetherthe thread is internal or external.The second term'gives the thread profile and dimensions and the
thirdterm indicates whether it is a right-hand oflen-hand thread. The second term has its firstpart the thread profiledesignation 0, W or M
standing for 'Fastening pipe threads [see IS 2643 or 'Whitworth' or 'ISO' respectively. In the case of a fastening pipe thread to IS 2643.
alter the profilesymbol 0 and the size designation, the symbol A indicatesexternalthreadsof Class A. The absenceof the symbolindicates
internal threads. In caseof other profiles, the nominal diameterand pitch in millimetres separated by 'X' are given.
Example I 0 5/8A-RH denotes an external pipe thread for fastening purposes of size designation 5/8 and it is right-hand
thread.
Example 2 EXT W21.8X 1.814-RH denotes external thread of 21.8 mm nominal major diameter and 1.814 mm pitch right
handthread.
Example 3 EXT M22XI.5-RH denotes external thread of 22 mm nominal major diameter and I.S mm pitch having ISO
(metric)thread form.
