[Current]Gas cylinder test stations, Part 3: Transportable gas cylinders — Periodic inspection and testing of composite cylinders (ISO 11623:2015, MOD)
This Standard adopts ISO 11623:2015 with modifications for Australia and New Zealand, which specifies the requirements for periodic inspection and testing and to verify the integrity for further service of hoop-wrapped and fully-wrapped composite transportable gas cylinders, with aluminium-alloy, steel or non-metallic liners or of linerless construction (Types 2, 3, 4, and 5), intended for compressed, liquefied or dissolved gases under pressure, of water capacity from 0.5 L up to 450 L.
