BS EN 14071 discusses LPG equipment and accessories. LPG is used as fuel gas in heating appliances, cooking equipment, and vehicles. BS EN 14071 specifies the design, testing and inspection requirements for pressure relief valve isolating devices, valve manifolds, vent pipes and system assemblies which are, where necessary, used with pressure relief valves for use in static pressure vessels for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) service. BS EN 14071 addresses both prototype testing and production testing of isolating devices and PRV manifolds.
BS EN 14071 on LPG equipment and accessories is useful for:
LPG has a very wide variety of uses, mainly used for cylinders across many different markets as an efficient fuel container in the agricultural, recreation, hospitality, industrial, construction, sailing and fishing sectors. BS EN 14071 calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the environment if adequate precautions are not taken. BS EN 14071 refers only to technical suitability. BS EN 14071 discusses a pressure relief valve that is a self-closing valve that automatically, without the assistance of any energy other than that of the vapour concerned discharges vapour at a predetermined pressure and operates with a pop action.
The design as mentioned in BS EN 14071 minimizes the use of raw materials, minimizes the environmental impact of in-service maintenance and end of life disposal and efficient packaging of the finished product. Using BS EN 14071 you can design, test, and inspect requirements for pressure relief valves used for LPG pressure vessels.
