ISO INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 13341 Second edition 2010-10-01 Gas cylinders Fitting of valves to gas cylinders Bouteilles a gaz - Montage des robinets sur les bouteilles a gaz Reference number ISO 13341:2010(E) @ ISO 2010 ISO 13341:2010(E) Foreword IsO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been non-governmental, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. IsO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. rights. IsO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13341 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 58, Gas cylinders. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (IsO 13341:1997), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 13341:1997/Cor.1:1998. ii INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO13341:2010(E) Gas cylinders Fitting of valves to gas cylinders Scope ThisInternationalStandardspecifiestheprocedurestobefollowedwhenconnectingcylindervalvestogas cylinders. It specifically applies to all valve and cylinder combinations connected with IsO screw threads as specified in IsO 10920 and IsO 11363-1. It defines routines for inspection and preparation prior to valving for bothtaperandparallelscrewthreads. Torque values are given in Annex A for steel and aluminium gas cylinders including composite cylinders with steel or aluminium boss. NOTE The procedures and practices specified in this International Standard can be beneficially applied to other valve to cylinder screw thread connection systems. ISO/TR 11364[4] lists the valve to gas cylinder threads in use worldwide. It gives details of the thread identification codes, whether the threads are interchangeable with isO threads and if the taping procedure and torque values specified in this International Standard can be used. ISO/TR 11364[4] gives clear guidance forthe method andtorque for all listed inlet threads, whichare not interchangeable 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The tools used to screw the valve into the gas cylinder shall fit the valve properly and the gas cylinder shall be secured against rotation during the torquing process. The tools shall not cause damage to either the valve or the cylinder. Minor marks to the valve and the cylinder are acceptable. The cylinder and the valving tool axes shall be aligned. neck/metal boss during torquing. Any special instructions given by the cylinder manufacturer shall be followed.
