Cryogenic vessels - Cleanliness for cryogenic service
This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the cleanliness of all surfaces of cryogenic vessels and associated accessories, that are in contact with the cryogenic fluid at any expected operating conditions. This standard defines the acceptable level of surface and particle contamination to minimize the risk of malfunction of equipment and ensure safety against ignition when in contact with oxygen or oxidizing fluids (see EN 720-2).
Kryo-Behälter - Reinheit für den tiefkalten Betrieb
Diese Norm legt Mindestanforderungen für die Reinheit aller Oberflächen von Kryo-Behältern und Zubehörteilen fest, die mit dem tiefkalten Fluid bei allen zu erwartenden Betriebsbedingungen in Berührung kommen. Diese Norm legt den annehmbaren Grad von Oberflächenverunreinigungen und Verunreinigungen durch Partikel fest, um das Risiko des Versagens der Einrichtung zu minimieren und Schutz gegen das Zünden bei Berührung mit Sauerstoff oder oxidierenden Fluiden zu bieten (Siehe EN 720-2).
Récipients cryogéniques - Propreté
La présente norme spécifie les prescriptions minimales de propreté applicables à toutes les surfaces des récipients cryogéniques et de leurs accessoires, qui se trouvent en contact avec le fluide cryogénique, quelles que soient les conditions d'utilisation prévues. La présente norme définit le niveau acceptable de contamination des surfaces et des particules, afin de minimiser les risques de dysfonctionnements de l'équipement et d'assurer une protection contre les risques d'embrasement lors de l'entrée en contact avec l'oxygène ou les fluides oxydants (voir EN 720-2).
