DIN EN 12493:2017-01

DIN EN 12493 specifies minimum requirements for materials, design, construction and workmanship procedures, and tests for welded LPG road tanker pressure vessels and their welded attachments manufactured from carbon, carbon/manganese and micro alloy steels. There is no upper size limit as this is determined by the gross vehicle weight limitation. This document does not cover pressure vessels for pressure vessel containers. Several changes have been made to the terminology of the last published version of 2013-03 to ensure full compliance with ADR 2015. In the course of standardization of terminology, the title has been changed from "road tank vehicles" to "road tankers". The standard includes the draft amendment to the standard DIN EN 12493/A1:2014-03. The responsible committee for this standard is NA 016-00-06 AA "Flüssiggas-Geräte und Ausrüstung; Spiegelausschuss zu CEN/TC 286" ("Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories; Mirror Committee for CEN/TC 286") at DIN.
