Overview
ISO 11114-1:2020/Amd 1:2023 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that addresses the compatibility of metallic materials used in gas cylinders and their valves with various gas contents. This amendment updates critical compatibility data to ensure safe and reliable use of gas cylinders with corrosive and reactive gases.
The standard is essential for manufacturers, designers, and users of transportable gas cylinders, offering clear guidance on material selection based on gas type to prevent material degradation, corrosion, and safety hazards such as embrittlement or chemical reactions.
Key Topics
Material Compatibility with Gases
The amendment provides updated tables detailing the compatibility of specific metallic materials for both cylinders and valve components with gases such as boron trichloride, boron trifluoride, fluorine, hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen iodide, and hydrogen sulphide.Gas-Specific Corrosion Risks
It highlights corrosion mechanisms like hydrolysis reactions producing corrosive compounds (e.g., hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride), which cause severe corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement in commonly used materials.Material Recommendations
The document specifies suitable alloys, including high corrosion-resistant nickel alloys such as Hastelloy© and Incoloy©, for handling aggressive gases. It also advises on limitations of using stainless steel (SS), brass, and refined nickel in different valve components to avoid material failures.Pressure and Strength Considerations
The amendment outlines important constraints on cylinder strength relative to gas pressure, including maximum ultimate tensile strengths for metals in contact with specific gases. It confirms safety conditions under which cylinders can be used without exceeding critical stress levels.Safety Notes on Valve Components
Special attention is given to valve diaphragms, springs, and bursting disks, recommending against the use of materials prone to failure or embrittlement in such components when exposed to certain gas types.
Applications
Gas Cylinder Manufacturing
Ensures selection of appropriate metallic materials to construct cylinders and valves resistant to the specific gases stored, thereby enhancing safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.Industrial Gas Storage and Transportation
Facilitates safe storage of hazardous, corrosive, and reactive gases by preventing material incompatibility that could lead to leaks, ruptures, or accidents during transport or use.Quality Assurance and Safety Audits
Provides a standardized reference for auditors and inspectors verifying that gas cylinder materials meet compatibility requirements to mitigate risks in industrial, medical, and laboratory environments.Research and Development of Gas Handling Equipment
Supports R&D teams in materials engineering aiming to innovate or optimize gas container designs based on comprehensive ISO guidance on material-gas interactions.
Related Standards
ISO 11114 Series
This amendment pertains to Part 1 focusing on metallic materials; the broader ISO 11114 series addresses compatibility across different material types and gas combinations.ISO/TC 58 Standards
Since ISO/TC 58 covers gas cylinders, other relevant standards within this committee provide comprehensive requirements for cylinder design, testing, and safe use.European Committee for Standardization (CEN) TC 23
Collaborates closely with ISO 11114-1 to harmonize standards applicable to transportable gas cylinders in Europe, ensuring global alignment.ISO 9809 (Gas Cylinder Design and Manufacture)
Often used in conjunction with material compatibility standards to ensure overall cylinder construction safety.
By adhering to ISO 11114-1:2020/Amd 1:2023, stakeholders can make informed decisions on metallic material compatibility with specific gas contents, minimizing risks linked to corrosion, embrittlement, and mechanical failure. This standard plays a crucial role in the safe handling of industrial and specialty gases across multiple sectors worldwide.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
