Specifies requirements for welded steel cylinders with one longitudinal joint, and not more than two circumferential joints, and a water capacity of not less than 150 kg to 500 kg which have test pressures from 1750 kPa to 7000 kPa. This Standard specifies cylinders that are suitable for the storage and transport of compressed gases in accordance with AS 2030.1. This edition introduces the concept of the integrated gas cylinder test station (IGCTS) for cylinder manufacturers in Australia, together with responsibility for pneumatic testing solely with the manufacturers of cylinders as the regulatory authorities have withdrawn from this area.

This Standard specifies requirements for welded steel cylinders with one longitudinal joint, and not more than two circumferential joints of water capacity not less than 150 kg nor more than 500 kg, which have test pressures from 1750 kPa to 7000 kPa, and are intended for the storage and transport of compressed gases in accordance with AS 2030.1.NOTES:1. A gas cylinder manufactured by welding but which includes any brazing of or on the pressure-retaining portions is for the purpose of this Standard considered to be a brazed gas cylinder.2. Other Australian Standards for brazed and welded gas cylinders are AS 2468, AS 2469, and AS 2470.3. Appendix A lists the suggested minimum information that should be supplied by the purchaser when ordering gas cylinders to this Standard.
