Reject cylinders not included in the list of cylinders to be inspected and cylinders on which specifications are missing or blurred.

b) Check the condition of the surface, welds, base, and handles (if any).

c) When there is any suspicion during the visual inspection, additional tests or examination measures must be applied such as: ultrasonic testing of thickness or welds (if any) or other non-destructive testing measures.

d) Evaluation: A cylinder is passed if its components remain normal, there is not any unusual sign and specifications on the cylinder are consistent with those on documents. Reject cylinders according to point 4.8 of TCVN 6156:1996, Appendix C of TCVN 6294:2007 and Appendix C of TCVN 6871:2007.

3. Step 3: Internal technical inspection

...

...

...

- Cylinders containing inert gas, non-toxic and non-flammable gases may be placed in direct release position.

- Cylinders containing toxic and flammable gases must be treated using specialized equipment. The recovered gases may be used or treated safely and must not be released directly into the environment.

b) Remove valves from the cylinder head, prevent impact that can cause deformation or damage to the cylinder’s valve or neck thread.

c) Examine the tightness of the valves and safety parts (if any); reject failed valves.

d) Clean the inside of the cylinders (For acetylene cylinders containing porous mass, the cleaning step is not required but the quality of the porous mass must be checked according to the manufacturer's instructions or TCVN 6871:2007).

dd) Check the inside of the cylinders with an endoscope to evaluate the metal surface and welds (not applicable to soluble acetylene cylinders). In case of any suspicion, request the establishment to adopt other appropriate measures.

b) Temperature of the test medium must be less than 50°C and can be colder than the ambient temperature by up to 5°C.

c) The pressure shall be increased or decreased slowly so as not to cause sudden expansion, thereby affecting the cylinder’s strength.

...

...

...

- Before performing test with gas, the strength must be calculated according to actual measurements of the cylinder

- Safety measures in case of test with gas:

+ The gas supply valve and sample pressure gauge on the gas inlet line must be placed away from the cylinder location;

+ A prohibition sign “No unauthorized entry to the test area” must be erected;

+ A safe gas supply must be ensured.

Evaluation: A cylinder is passed if the pressure does not decrease when maintained at the test pressure, there is no leakage from the cylinder body or welds or there is no deformation in excess of the prescribed limits.

dd) For welded cylinders: carry out evaluation according to point 9.1 of TCVN 6292:2013.

e) For seamless cylinders: carry out evaluation according to according to point C.4.3 of TCVN 6295:1997.

5. Step 5: Volumetric expansion test

...

...

...

a) Water jacket method: Enclose the water-filled cylinder in a jacket that is also filled with water. The total and any permanent volumetric expansion of the cylinder are measured as to the amount of water displaced by the expansion of the cylinder when under pressure and after the pressure is released (carry out evaluation according to C.5.2.1 of TCVN 6295:1997).

b) Non-water jacket method: Measure the amount of water passed into the cylinder as it is pressurized to test pressure and measure the amount of water expelled from the cylinder to reduce the pressure to atmospheric pressure. First measure the amount of water while increasing the water pressure in the cylinder to determine the total expansion of the cylinder at test pressure, then measure the amount of water expelled from the cylinder, subtract that amount of water from the total expansion to determine the permanent volumetric expansion (carry out evaluation according to C.5.2.2 of TCVN 6295:1997).

Evaluation: according to point C.5.3 of TCVN 6295:1997.

For a seamless cylinder (of a capacity between 12 and 55 l), rely on the increase in volume or decrease in weight of the cylinder shell to reduce the working pressure of the cylinder or reject it according to the provisions in point 4.10 of TCVN 6156:1996.

Note: The volumetric expansion test on seamless cylinders shall be conducted together with the strength test.

c) Remove and clean the test medium; dry the inside of the cylinder.

d) Install the tested valves on the cylinder.

6. Step 6: Tightness test

a) Test medium: Air or inert gas.

...

...

...

c) For seamless cylinders: Fill the cylinders with compressed air or inert gas to a pressure of 50% to 60% of the maximum working pressure, hold this pressure for 01 minute.

d) Check the tightness of the connectors, valve joints, etc. of the cylinders with soap solution or in a specialized tank. Leaking cylinders must be treated and their tightness must be re-tested.

Evaluation:

- For welded cylinders: carry out evaluation according to point 9.2 of TCVN 6292:2013;

- For seamless cylinders: carry out evaluation according to according to point C.6.3 of TCVN 6295:1997.

7. Step 7: Degassing and vacuuming

If a cylinder is passed, proceed to completely degas the cylinder, dry its outside; vacuum and fill the cylinder with shielding gas (if required).

8. Step 8: Checking tare weight of cylinders

a) Weigh each cylinder and determine its tare weight (carry out evaluation according to point 10.2 of TCVN 6292:2013). Check and compare it with the tare weight stamped by the manufacturer on the cylinder;

...

...

...

c) For seamless cylinders: carry out evaluation according to according to point 4.10 of TCVN 6156:1996.

9. Step 9: Processing inspection results

a) Prepare an inspection record and a list of cylinders and cylinder batches which contain sufficient information according to the form specified in the Appendices to this inspection procedure.

b) Approve the inspection record:

Mandatory participants in the process of approving the inspection record include:

c) Write the brief inspection result to the profile of the cylinder batch (including full names of the inspectors and the date of inspection).

d) Affix an inspection symbol:

- Stamp information about inspection results on the handle or shoulder of each cylinder in the correct size and in the same row in the following order: Symbol of the inspecting organization-month/year of inspection-month/year of next inspection (according to point 14.4 of TCVN 6294:2007 or point 4.12 of TCVN 6156:1996).

Such information must not cover existing numbers on the cylinder’s handle or shoulder.

...

...

...

- For gas cylinders filled with gas as specified in clause 1 Article 6 of this inspection procedure, the inspection symbol is not required to be affixed but is affixed upon the next inspection.

d) Rejected cylinders must have the thread on their neck damaged or have their body drilled to prevent gas from being mistakenly filled into the cylinders. Apply the rejection method specified in section 15 of TCVN 6294:2007 to carbon steel gas cylinders or section 10 of TCVN 6871:2007 to acetylene cylinders.
