BS EN 962:1997 Transportable gas cylinders - Valve protection caps and valve guards for industrial and medical gas cylinders - Design, construction and tests
This European Standard specifies the requirements for valve protection caps and guards, intended for use with industrial and medical gas cylinders.
It defines tests for checking the mechanical strength and physical properties of the valve protection cap or valve guard.
This standard applies to valve protection devices to be fitted to gas cylinders intended for liquefied, dissolved or compressed gases. This standard excludes protection devices for cylinders with a water capacity of less than 5 litres and cylinders whereby the protection device is fixed by means of lugs welded or brazed to the cylinder, or is welded or brazed direct to the cylinder.
This standard does not specify all the requirements that may be necessary to enable the valve protection device to be used for lifting the cylinder.
