Method for Pressure Cycling Test of Gas Cylinders
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the method for pressure cycling test of gas cylinders, basic requirements for test device.
This Standard is applicable to the pressure cycling test of gas cylinders with nominal working pressure no greater than 70MPa (gauge pressure, the same below).
This Standard is inapplicable to the gas cylinders filled with stuffing.

GB/T 13005 Terminology of Gas Cylinders
3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions and those ones stipulated in GB/T 13005 are applicable to this document.
3.1 Pressure cycling
When taking the pressure cycling test, a pressure cycling is called for a whole process in sequence of increasing pressure to the required upper pressure → holding → decreasing pressure to the required lower pressure → holding.
3.2 Cyclic pressure
The repetitive alternating pressure values applied during the pressure cycling test, which include upper limit of cyclic pressure, and lower limit of cyclic pressure.
3.3
Required upper pressure
4.12
The testing apparatus shall be provided with mechanical safety device such as mechanical overflow valves to prevent the overpressure.
The upper limit of the cyclic pressure specified in pressure cycling test.
4.13 The testing apparatus shall be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as cooling, filtering devices to keep the valve and pump running continuously.
4.14
The testing system shall take appropriate safety precautions to ensure the safety of operator sand equipment during the test.
5 Measuring Instrument
5.1
Pressure measuring instrument
5.1.1 To meet the relevant requirements of 4.11, the testing apparatus shall be equipped with at least a precision pressure gauge, an electrical contact pressure gauge and a pressure sensor (or digital pressure gauge that can output a pressure signal). If no electrical contact pressure gauge is used, there shall be installed at least a precision pressure gauge, a general pressure gauge and two pressure sensors (or digital pressure gauge that can output a pressure signal) at the same time. Before the test, use the precision pressure gauge to check the pressure display value of the pressure measuring instrument; if there is any abnormal pressure, it shall be replaced promptly. When taking the pressure cycling test, the precision pressure gauge may not be used. The installation positions of the pressure gauge (including general pressure gauge and electrical contact pressure gauge), pressure sensor (or digital pressure gauge that can output a pressure signal) and precision pressure gauge shall meet the requirements of 4.10.
5.1.2 The measuring range of pressure gauge (including general pressure gauge and electrical contact pressure gauge) shall be 2~3 times of the required upper pressure of the tested cylinder; the accuracy level shall be no less than Level-1.6; the measuring range of precision pressure gauge shall not exceed 2 times of the required upper pressure of the tested cylinder, the accuracy level shall be no less than Level-0.4; the measuring range of pressure sensor or digital pressure gauge that can output pressure signal shall not exceed 3 times of the required upper pressure of the tested cylinder, the accuracy level shall be no less than Level-0.5.
5.1.3 The pressure measuring instrument shall be tested regularly, the testing period shall be performed as per the relevant provisions.
5.2 Temperature measuring instruments
5.2.1 The measuring range of temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of test medium and outer surface of tested cylinder shall be within 2 times of the test temperature range of tested cylinder, and its minimum display value shall be no greater
8 Test Precautions
8.1 For larger tested cylinder, fillers such as aluminum block or rod can be filled into the cylinder before filing the test medium, so as to improve the pressure-increasing and pressure-decreasing rate. The filler and test medium shall not occur chemical action, and shall not generate impact or friction against the inner wall of cylinder as the pressure cycling.
8.2 In addition to the cyclic pressure and connecting pipe’s action force against the cylinder mouth during the test, no additional force shall be imposed on the tested cylinder that may influence the stress state of the cylinder.
8.3 If the pressure cycling is found abnormal during the test, stop the test immediately; check and continue the test after the abnormal conditions are removed.
8.4 When the testing system is in the state of bearing pressure, it is not allowed to tighten or disassemble the tested cylinder or other pressure-bearing components.
8.5 No one shall approach the testing system with pressure during the test.
8.6
In addition to use for the inspection related to the purpose of the test or for subsequent tests, the cylinder after taking the pressure cycling test shall be eliminated the functions of use.
9 Test Records and Reports
9.1
The relevant information and data during the test process shall be recorded as per the actual conditions...
