Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstungsteile - Füllstandsanzeiger für Druckbehälter für Flüssiggas (LPG)

Diese Europäische Norm legt Mindestanforderungen an die Auslegung und die Prüfung von Füllstandsanzeigern fest, die direkt mit ortsbeweglichen Druckbehältern, Druckfässern, Flaschen und ortsfesten Behältern für Flüssiggas mit einem Fassungsraum von über 0,5 l verbunden sind. Ausgenommen sind Füllstandsanzeiger für Autogastanks. Diese Europäische Norm findet keine Anwendung auf Raffinerien und andere verfahrenstechnische Anlagen.

Équipements et accessoires GPL - Jauges de niveau pour les réservoirs de gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GPL)

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences minimales relatives à la conception et aux essais des
jauges de niveau directement reliées à des réservoirs mobiles, des fûts ou des bouteilles, ou encore à des
réservoirs de GPL fixes, d'une contenance en eau supérieure à 0,5 l, à l'exception de celles utilisées pour les
réservoirs d'automobiles. Les dispositifs de protection contre le sur-remplissage qui comportent des jauges de
niveau sont également inclus. La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux raffineries ou autres
usines de traitement.

Oprema in pribor za utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP) - Kazalniki nivoja v posodah za utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP)

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve za konstruiranje in preskušanje kazalnikov nivoja, ki so neposredno povezani s premičnimi ali nepremičnimi posodami za utekočinjen naftni plin (LPG) z vodno kapaciteto nad 0,5 l, pri čemer so izključeni tisti, ki se uporabljajo za avtomobilske rezervoarje. Zajema tudi naprave za zaščito pred prenapolnitvijo, ki vključujejo kazalnike nivoja.
