BS EN ISO 12617:2017

What is ISO 12617 - Refueling connector about?  

ISO 12617 is an International standard on liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling connector that discusses the requirements of refueling nozzles and receptacles. ISO 12617 specifies liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling nozzles and receptacles constructed entirely of new and unused parts and materials for road vehicles powered by LNG. An LNG refueling connector consists of, as applicable, the receptacle and its protective cap (mounted on the vehicle) and the nozzle. ISO 12617 applies only to such devices designed for a maximum working pressure of 3,4 MPa (34 bar) to those using LNG as a vehicle fuel and having standardized mating components. 

NOTE: All references to pressures given in megapascals and bar (1 bar = 0,1 MPa = 105 Pa; 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2) are to be considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified. 

Who is ISO 12617 - Refueling connector for?  

ISO 12617 on liquefied natural gas (LNG) refueling connector is relevant to: 

• Manufacturer of refueling connector 
• Liquefied natural gas station 

Why should you use ISO 12617- Refueling connector? 

Fueling nozzles and receptacles are components that attach to either the fuel source or the receiving tank to permit the transfer of liquid or gaseous fuels. They are designed for use with fuel dispensing equipment in automotive, aerospace, motorsport, transportation, and power generation applications. 

ISO 12617 navigates you through the general construction requirements, LNG refueling nozzles, LNG nozzles and receptacles, pressure rating, materials, corrosion protection, lng nozzle and receptacles, hand operation, sealing exchange, venting depressurization, internal check valve, standard receptacle dimensions. 

ISO 12617 provides guidance on installation, cycle life, design, tests. 

As a user of ISO 12617, you can be ensured of all the requirements of refueling nozzles and receptacles. With obedience and compliance to ISO 12617, you can efficiently manufacture and install high-quality refueling nozzles and receptacles which is functionally compatible from a safety and performance perspective with all listed receptacles of compatible profile and system pressure for road vehicles powered by LNG. ISO 12617 helps you to build consumer trust and confidence in the product. With ISO 12617 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets. 

ISO 12617 helps you achieve precision in terms of products specification.
