What is PD CEN/TR 14473 about?
PD CEN/TR 14473 specifies information about monolithic porous materials used in individual acetylene cylinders and in acetylene cylinder bundles in Europe. PD CEN/TR 14473 does not claim to be exhaustive.
Acetylene storage in cylinders is important in the industrial gases industry due to its potential to break down explosively in the absence of air or oxygen. Therefore, storing acetylene in cylinders requires extra precautions to avoid explosive decomposition.
PD CEN/TR 14473 contains data and information about monolithic porous materials for acetylene cylinders.
This is accomplished by filling the cylinder with por...
