Specifies requirements for materials, design, construction and testing of seamless aluminium alloy gas containers above 0.5 L water capacity and up to 300 bar charged pressure at 15°C. It excludes portable fire extinguishers having a working pressure up to and including 25 bar at 60°C.

Committee
PVE/3/3
DevelopmentNote
The requirements of seamless aluminium and aluminium alloy containers for general applications in BS 5045-3:1984 were superseded by the publication of BS EN 1975 in 2000. However requirements for small portable containers for special applications remain current. This new edition therefore renumbers BS 5045-3:1984 as BS 5045-8:2000 and modifies its scope to restrict its applicability to these special application containers. It does not, however, constitute a full revision of the standard.
