Pace 1 1 Introduction ‘This standard provides information on the requalifcation of DOT-3HT, CTC-SHT, and TC-3HTM seamless steel ‘ovinders. 2 Scope This standard has been prepared to advise cylinder users and requalification facilities regarding the require- ments for establishing their own cylinder inspection procedures and standards. Of necessity, this standard is general in nature, although some specific limits are given. Rejection or acceptance for continued use, in accor. dance with these limits, represents accepted practice, which has proven salisfactary for the continuance of these cylinders in service. 3 U.S. Department of Transportation and Transport Canada requlations ‘The Hazardous Materials Regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) (Title 49 of the USS. Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR] Part 180 Subpart C) and Transport Canada (TC) (Section 24 of CSA B339, Cylinders, Spheres, and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods) require thal cylinders be periodically requalified to ensure their suitabilty for continued safe service [1, 2].' The regulations and this ‘standard require that a cylinder shall be condemned when it leaks; when intemal of external corrosion, denting, bulging, or evidence of rough usage exists to the extent that the cylinder is likely to be weakened appreciably, (or when i fails to pass the hydrostatic retest. Seamiess steel cylinder requaification requirements in the regulations or this standard vary depending on de- sign and the type of service (pressure, commodity, etc.) for which the cylinder is authorized, All seamloss stocl cylinders require a periodic visual examination and most require a periodic hydrostatic retest, The relest criteria for acceptance or rejection also vary. For the great majority of steel cylinders, including specifications DOT-SHT ‘and CTC-3HT cylinders, the permanent expansion limit shall not exceed 10% of the total expansion. For cylin- ders manufactured to TC-3HTM, the permanent expansion shall not exceed 5% (see CSA 8339, clause 24.2.1.3(b)) [2]. Additional requirements for all series 3HT cylinders are that the elastic expansion (total expan. sion less permanent expansion) at retest shall not exceed the elastic expansion al manufacture by more than 5% ‘Requaliication of cylinders shall be performed only by an authorized DOT or TC facily 4° Shipping Filled series SHT cylinders shall be shipped in suitable outside containers such as corrugated cartons or ‘wooden boxes, which are considered sufficient to protect the cylinders from the adverse effects of rough han. ling during shipment, It is strongly recommended that empty series SHT cylinders also be stored and trans- ported in the same type of outside container to prevent damage to the cylinder. 5 Service life Series 3HT cylinders shall be removed from service and condemned at the end of a 24-year period following the date of the original test marked on the cylinder or after 4380 pressurizations, whichever occurs fst. If 2 cylinder is recharged more than once every other day, an accurate record of the number of such rechargings shall be maintained by the cylinder owner or the owner's agent.

A cylinder shall be condemned if The permanent volumetric expansion exceeds 10% ofthe total expansion for DOT-3HT and CTC-3HT; The permanent volumetric expansion exceeds 5% of the total expansion for TC-3HTM; or ‘The elastic expansion exceeds the marked rejection elastic expansion (REE) stamped on the cylinder by the manufacturer. The REE is 1.05 times the original elastic expansion (EE) at manufacture. Cylinders manufactured before January 17, 1978, are required to have the EE in cubic centimeters stamped on ‘the cylinder near the original test date. At retest the cylinder shall be restamped to show the REE. For example: EE 10.0 7x74 REE 105 7Y78 X and ¥ represent inspector symbols, Cylinders manufactured on or after January 17, 1978, also are required to have the REE stamped near the {ate of the original test. Therefore, at requalifcation, only the retest date and the inspector's symbol are ro- ‘quired Retest dates and inspector symbols shall be applied by low-stress type steel stamping using round-faced stamps to a depth no greater than that of the original marking at the time of manufacture.
