Extends the scope of the previous edition to include requirements for all types of FRP overwrapped cylinders with metal or non-metal liners. The test regimes now include specific requirements for hoop-wrapped gas cylinders with seamless steel liners for use as fuel containers for natural gas powered vehicles. It is intended for use in conjunction with AS 2337.1.

This Standard specifies inspection and test requirements for the following fibre reinforced plastics cylinders-(a) hoop-wrapped metal liners;(b) fully-wrapped metal liners; and(c) fully-wrapped non-metal liners.See AS 2337.1 for inspection of metal components of cylinders to various types of gas cylinders overwrapped with FRP.Where no Australian Standards exists for particular wrapped cylinders, but such cylinders are manufactured to other standards, certificated gas cylinder test station and users should follow guidelines supplied by the manufacturer.NOTE: Appendix A gives information on the relevant features of FRP gas cylinders.
