AvailableSuperseded
An Available Superseded Standard is one, which has been made available for a period of time although it has been formally superseded by another Standard. Its availability is maintained where it is referenced in legislation/regulations or in other Standards and its use should be restricted to where so referenced. No responsibility is taken by SAI Global as to the ongoing technical validity of such a Standard, the responsibility resting with the referencing authority.

Important note : Users cannot be edited or removed once added to your Multi user PDF.This Standard introduces the concepts of blowdown rack as a safety measure for dealing with leaking or damaged cylinders. It also introduces the concept of a loose identification collar. The collar is to carry the cylinder identification marks and is retained by the cylinder valve. These two new concepts will enhance safety in the use of acetylene gas.

This Standard specifies requirements for the acceptance, filling, inspection, and care of refillable gas cylinders for the storage of compressed acetylene dissolved in a solvent, and having a cylinder shell water capacity exceeding 5 kg.NOTES:1 Requirements for cylinders for gases other than acetylene are specified in AS 2030.1.2 This Standard provides for solvents other than acetone, but only dimethylformamide (DMF) has been specifically considered as an alternative and DMF should be used only where cylinders are in manifolded crates.3 The requirements of this Standard are not intended to preclude the filling of previously acceptable, and not specifically provided for, small dissolved acetylene gas cylinders (of nominal water capacities 5.0 to 11 kg).
