Overview
EN ISO 15245-1:2021 (ISO 15245-1:2021) specifies the definitions, dimensions and tolerances for parallel screw threads used to connect valves to medical and industrial gas cylinders. It covers the three standardized thread sizes used for valve-to-cylinder connections: M18 × 1.5, M25 × 2, and M30 × 2. The standard defines the thread form, pitch, sealing features (O-ring recess), thread reliefs and other geometric details needed to ensure compatible valve and cylinder components.
This document does not address:
- Mechanical strength of the connection
- Gas tightness performance
- Capability for repeated assembly/disassembly (this is covered by ISO 13341)
Key topics and technical requirements
- Thread form and rotation: Threads are right‑hand and use the ISO standard 60° profile (ISO 68‑1).
- Pitches: M18 = 1.5 mm; M25 = 2.0 mm; M30 = 2.0 mm (defined with reference to ISO 724).
- Dimensional specifications: Detailed dimensions and tolerances are provided for valve stem threads and cylinder neck threads, including flange diameters, stem lengths, minimum full thread lengths, sealing recess geometry and thread relief lengths.
- O‑ring sealing: Sealing recess diameter and depth, O‑ring internal diameter and cross‑section (thickness) are specified to ensure consistent sealing interfaces between valve flanges and cylinder necks.
- Thread end finish: Chamfering or radiused root options are given (e.g., chamfer 45°/radius values for certain sizes) to avoid sharp first threads.
- Optional vent grooves: Provision for up to two vent grooves on the valve stem is allowed; maximum groove depth is limited (figure note states max 1 mm below root diameter) and edges must be smooth to avoid thread damage.
- Normative references: Includes ISO references such as ISO 724 (pitches), ISO 68‑1 (thread form), ISO 965 (tolerances), ISO 5408 and ISO 10286 for terminology.

EN ISO 15245-1:2021は、ガスシリンダーにおけるバルブとの接続用の平行ねじに関する規格であり、その範囲は医療用および産業用ガスシリンダーにおけるM30 x 2、M25 x 2、M18 x 1.5の平行ねじの定義、寸法、及び公差を具体的に示しています。この標準化文書は、ガスシリンダーのバルブ接続における重要な要素であり、特に医療や工業界での安全性と互換性を確保するための基礎を提供します。 この標準の強みは、その明確な定義と精密な寸法規定にあります。これにより、製造業者は高精度のバルブとシリンダーの接続を実現し、全体のシステムの安全性を向上させることができます。また、規格は国際的に認識されたものであり、異なる地域や国での互換性を持たせるために非常に重要です。 ただし、EN ISO 15245-1:2021は、機械的強度やガスの密閉性、反復的な組立及び分解の能力といった接続要求については触れていない点に注意が必要です。これらの要素に関しては、ISO 13341がカバーしています。この明確な分業により、ユーザーはそれぞれの文書を組み合わせて、安全で効率的なガスシリンダーの利用を確保することができます。 全体として、EN ISO 15245-1:2021は、医療用および産業用ガスシリンダーにおけるバルブ接続に関連する平行ねじの標準化を通じて、業界内での標準的な実践を導く重要な文書です。その内容は、高い適用性と信頼性を持っており、さまざまな分野での広範な利用が期待されます。
Die Norm EN ISO 15245-1:2021 bietet eine klare und umfassende Spezifizierung der parallelen Gewinde für den Anschluss von Ventilen an Gasflaschen, insbesondere in den Ausführungen M30 x 2, M25 x 2 und M18 x 1,5. Dieses Dokument definiert nicht nur die Dimensionen, sondern auch die Toleranzen, was eine präzise und konsistente Anwendung in der Praxis ermöglicht. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil dieser Norm ist ihre Fokussierung auf die Standardisierung der Gewindeverbindungen für medizinische und industrielle Gase, was die Sicherheit und Effizienz bei der Verwendung von Gasflaschen erheblich steigert. Durch die genaue Festlegung der Gewindeparameter wird sichergestellt, dass die kompatiblen Bauteile zuverlässig zusammenarbeiten, was besonders in sicherheitskritischen Anwendungen von Bedeutung ist. Die Relevanz dieser Norm erstreckt sich auf zahlreiche Industrien, in denen Gasflaschen verwendet werden, sei es im Gesundheitswesen oder in der Industrie. Obwohl die Norm nicht die Anforderungen an mechanische Festigkeit oder Gasdichtheit behandelt, stellt sie dennoch einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Harmonisierung von Verbindungselementen dar, der in Kombination mit anderen Normen, wie ISO 13341, eine umfassende Sicherheits- und Funktionsprüfung ermöglicht. Insgesamt bietet die EN ISO 15245-1:2021 eine entscheidende Grundlage für die Standardisierung von Verbindungen zwischen Ventilen und Gasflaschen. Ihre Stärken liegen in der klaren Definition und den präzisen Toleranzen, die eine sichere und effiziente Nutzung in der Praxis fördern.
La norme SIST EN ISO 15245-1:2021 est un document essentiel qui spécifie les dimensions, les tolérances et les définitions des filets de vis parallèles utilisés pour la connexion des vannes aux bouteilles de gaz. Elle met l'accent sur des dimensions spécifiques, notamment M30 x 2, M25 x 2 et M18 x 1,5, qui sont cruciales pour assurer une connexion adéquate entre les vannes et les cylindres de gaz, tant dans les applications médicales qu'industrielles. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans sa capacité à uniformiser les spécifications techniques associées aux cylindres de gaz. Ceci est particulièrement pertinent dans des secteurs où la sécurité et la fiabilité sont primordiales. Le cadre de cette norme contribue à minimiser les risques liés à la mauvaise connexion des vannes, garantissant ainsi un fonctionnement optimal des systèmes de gaz. Un autre aspect remarquable de la norme est qu'elle se concentre exclusivement sur les aspects relatifs aux dimensions des filets, en laissant de côté d'autres critères critiques tels que la résistance mécanique ou l’étanchéité des gaz. Bien que ces exigences ne soient pas abordées dans ce document, elles sont traitées dans d'autres normes, telles que l'ISO 13341, ce qui permet aux utilisateurs de se référer à un ensemble cohérent de documents pour une compréhension complète des exigences techniques. En résumé, la norme SIST EN ISO 15245-1:2021 se positionne comme un outil de référence incontournable pour les professionnels travaillant avec des cylindres de gaz, apportant une clarté nécessaire dans les spécifications des filets de vis parallèles. Sa pertinence dans les domaines médical et industriel souligne l'importance de la standardisation pour garantir la sécurité et l'efficacité des systèmes de gestion des gaz.
The standard EN ISO 15245-1:2021 provides essential specifications related to the dimensions and tolerances of parallel screw threads for connecting valves to both medical and industrial gas cylinders. By focusing specifically on M30 x 2, M25 x 2, and M18 x 1.5 thread dimensions, the document ensures a defined framework that enhances compatibility and interoperability among various gas cylinder applications. One of the primary strengths of this standard is its precise delineation of thread specifications, which is crucial for manufacturers and users of gas cylinders. The clear definitions and dimensional tolerances included in this document help facilitate quality control and manufacturing processes, ultimately aiming for safety and efficiency in applications involving gas cylinders. Furthermore, the document's focus on the specifications for parallel threads is particularly relevant in sectors where valve connections must meet strict safety and operational requirements. While the standard does not encompass guidelines for mechanical strength, gas tightness, or the capability of repeated assembly and dismounting, it effectively integrates its niche specifications with other relevant standards such as ISO 13341, promoting a holistic approach to gas cylinder safety. In summary, EN ISO 15245-1:2021 stands out for its targeted relevance to valve connections on gas cylinders, offering a detailed specification that supports safe and efficient operations in medical and industrial environments. The clarity in definitions, dimensions, and tolerances reinforces its role as a critical resource for manufacturers and users in the gas cylinder industry.
SIST EN ISO 15245-1:2021 표준은 가스 실린더와 관련된 파라렐 스레드의 정밀한 규격을 제공하여 의료 및 산업 가스 실린더의 밸브 연결을 위한 기준을 설정합니다. 이 문서에서는 M30 x 2, M25 x 2 및 M18 x 1.5의 파라렐 나사 스레드의 정의, 치수 및 허용오차를 명확하게 규명하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 주요 강점은 여러 가지 크기의 나사 스레드를 정형화하여 사용자와 제조업체 간의 일관성을 보장한다는 점입니다. 이는 가스 실린더와 밸브 간의 연결 안전성을 높이고, 다양한 산업에서의 상호 운용성을 개선하는 데 기여합니다. 또한, 표준은 의료 및 산업 분야에서 필수적으로 요구되는 품질 기준을 충족시킬 수 있도록 설계되었습니다. 또한, SIST EN ISO 15245-1:2021 문서는 연결 요구사항, 즉 기계적 강도, 가스 밀폐성 및 반복적인 조립과 분해 작업의 능력에 대한 내용을 포함하지 않습니다. 이러한 요소들은 ISO 13341에서 다루어지므로, 사용자들은 이 표준과 함께 ISO 13341을 참고하여 더욱 포괄적인 이해를 도모할 수 있습니다. 결론적으로, SIST EN ISO 15245-1:2021 표준은 가스 실린더와 밸브 연결을 위한 필수적인 규정을 제공하며, 관련 업계의 안전성과 신뢰성을 높이는 데 중요한 역할을 합니다.
