Scope
1.1 This Standard establishes requirements for newly produced compressed natural gas fuel system components, intended for use on natural gas powered vehicles, as listed in Table 1, below: Table 1 – Fuel system components – (See Clauses 1.1 and 1.5.) – Check valve – Manual valve – Manual container valve – Automatic valve – Gas injector – Pressure indicator – Pressure regulator – Gas flow adjuster – Gas/air mixer – Pressure relief valve – Pressure relief device – Excess flow valve – Gas tight housing and ventilation hoses – Rigid fuel line – Flexible fuel line, hoses and assemblies – Filter – Fittings – Discharge line closures
1.2 This Standard applies to devices that have a service pressure of either 16 500 kPa (2 400 psi), 20 700 kPa (3 000 psi), or 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi), hereinafter referred to in this Standard as the following: “P24” – 16 500 kPa (2 400 psi) “P30” – 20 700 kPa (3 000 psi) “P36” – 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi) The Standard also applies to components downstream of the first stage of pressure reduction with a working pressure designated by the manufacturer in kPa (psi).
1.3 The construction of the noted components whether specifically covered by the various provisions of this Standard or not, is to be in accordance with reasonable concepts of safety, performance and durability.
1.4 All specifications as to construction set forth herein are to be satisfied by the construction actually prescribed or such other construction as will provide at least equivalent performance.
1.5 This Standard emphasizes the pressure containment, performance and safety characteristics of components listed in Table 1.
1.6 It is recognized that other components not specifically covered herein can be examined to meet the criteria of this Standard and tested according to the appropriate functional needs.
1.7 This Standard does not apply to the following:
a) natural gas fuel system components incorporated during the manufacture of motor vehicles originally manufactured in compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for Compressed Natural Gas Fueled Vehicles and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS);
b) fuel containers;
c) stationary gas engines;
d) container mounting hardware;
e) electronic fuel management;
f) fueling receptacles; or
g) three way valves.
1.8 In the case of conflict between this Standard and Federal, Provincial, State or local requirements, the government requirements are to take precedence.
1.9 All references to “psi” throughout this Standard are to be considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified.
1.10 This Standard contains SI (metric) units corresponding to the yard/pound quantities, the purpose being to allow the Standard to be used in SI (metric) units. IEEE/ASTM SI I0, American National Standard for Metric Practice, or ISO 80000-1:2009 Quantities and units – Part 1: General, is used as a guide in making metric conversion from yard/pound quantities.) If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other units are stated, the first stated value is to be regarded as the requirement. The given corresponding value may be approximate. If a value for a measurement and a corresponding value in other units, are both specified as a quoted marking requirement, the first stated unit, or both are to be provided.
