This Standard specifies requirements for welded carbon and stainless steel cylinders with one longitudinal joint, and two circumferential joints, of water capacity not less than 150 kg nor more than 500 kg, which have test pressures from 1750 kPa to 7000 kPa, and are intended for the storage and transport of compressed gases in accordance with AS 2030.1.
NOTES:
1 A gas cylinder manufactured by welding but which includes any brazing of or on the pressure-retaining portions is for the purpose of this Standard considered to be a brazed gas cylinder.
