Executive Summary Background: In 2004, the first US DOT exemptions were issued to bring composite cylinders to the US marketplace. The cylinders have been used successfully in Europe for many years in many applications. However, a working group of the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) identified many differences between typical US and European applications and sought additional information on vaporization rates to insure the viability of composite cylinders for use in the United States. The intention of the project was to obtain a baseline comparison of vaporization rates at fixed conditions for composite, steel, and aluminum nominal 20-lb cylinders currently available on the US market. With the assistance of the principal investigator (Petersen Engineering), the task force developed a method of test in accordance with ANSI style and format to measure the ability of a container to conduct heat from the ambient to the liquid portion of LP-Gas to prolong the availability of LP-Gas vapor at a pressure that is suitable for the application. The NPGA working group then set out to establish the specific conditions that would yield the pertinent information for the test cylinders. These conditions include ambient temperature, relative humidity, cylinder fill level, and BTU draw rate. The specific conditions were selected to provide data at real-life conditions for a typical US application, outdoor cooking on a large barbecue grill in a moderate to cold climate. Testing: Tests were conducted on four cylinders, of varying construction, to determine their relative ability to supply LP-Gas at a constant flow rate. Tests were conducted at prescribed ambient temperatures, initial charge, and flow rates. Data were recorded at regular intervals; cylinder pressure, LP-gas temperature as well as pressures and temperatures associated with the flow through fixed orifices. Cylinder pressure and temperature were charted. Conclusions based on testing:

The purpose of the test was to measure the ability of a container to conduct heat from the ambient to the liquid LP-gas by correlating it with the interval of time at a constant withdrawal rate to reach a vapor pressure level (15 psig) identified as being unable to support most US applications at constant ambient conditions. In all tests, the aluminum cylinder (propane charge 9.5 lbs) maintained a higher vapor pressure level for the longest period of time. The linerless composite cylinder (propane charge 9.1 lbs) had the shortest interval to the 15 psig termination point, partially due to the lower initial charge.

In the 60 F tests, the lined composite cylinder (propane charge 10.6 lbs) mimicked the steel cylinder (propane charge 9.5 lbs) performance almost exactly, with averaging less than 1% difference in performance. The differences between the lined composite and steel cylinders were more pronounced in the 30 F tests, with approximately 15%

Executive Summary difference in the total time to reach the 15 psig threshold, with the lined composite cylinder providing more prolonged availability of LP-gas vapor.

Additional comments from Petersen Engineering: In interpreting the results, consideration needs to be given to the slightly different initial charges; based on 20% of the water capacity. The greater initial mass of LP-Gas in the larger cylinders will naturally prolong their ability to deliver vapor. After an initial review, the task force requested a statement of performance based on a normalized charge; relating the results as if the cylinders had the same mass charge rather than a charge based on 20% of water capacity. Appendix I was amended to include a calculation; adjusting the minutes of withdrawal, assuming a 10 pound charge. The average minutes to vaporize LP-Gas at 80,000 BTU/HR for a 10 pound charge are;

Temperature 60F 30FSteel 57 29

Aluminum 64 32 Lined Composite 52 31

Linerless Composite 47 27 Others should be able to repeat the results if they utilize the same equipment and test protocol – including the test environment within another closely controlled ‘outer environment’. This two shell environment simplified the temperature control at the test cylinders. Instrumentation and data recording methods can be varied without sacrificing the end results; however, data interpretation is easier if the data are collected automatically. A variation of the test protocol would be a relative comparison of a ‘Subject’ cylinder to a ‘Reference’ cylinder; varying materials of construction, container size or charge. This would require the ‘Subject’ and ‘Reference’ cylinders to be tested at the same time and in the same environment. The environment would not have to be controlled, (although it should be recorded). This approach would be practical if particular appliances were a part of the test.

Introduction

Tests were conducted on four cylinders, of varying construction, to determine their relative ability to supply LP-gas at a constant flow rate. Tests were conducted at prescribed ambient temperatures, initial charge and flow rates. Data were recorded at regular intervals; cylinder pressure, LP-gas temperature as well as pressures and temperatures associated with the flow through fixed orifices. Cylinder pressure and temperature data were charted.

Description of the tests.

The test parameters were described in a letter from the NPGA, dated December 11, 2004; copy attached as Appendix A. Basic requirements were described in the Test Method for Determining the Vaporization Capacity of an LP-Gas Container standard.

In brief, the tests were conducted at 60F and 30F. The cylinders were charged, by weight, to 20% of their water capacity – slightly less than half of their maximum allowable charge of 42%. LP-gas was withdrawn at a flow rate equal to 80,000 BTU/Hr. The tests were stopped when the individual cylinder vapor pressures dropped to 15 PSIG. After completing the withdrawal, the cylinders were allowed to recover to an ambient condition. Weight, pressure and temperature were recorded at the stabilized (final) condition. The data were reviewed to verify compliance with the test requirements. Each test was conducted twice to verify repeatability (4 tests total). Data were recorded every 30 seconds, using a data acquisition system; 9 channels for temperature and 12 channels for pressure. Type K thermocouples were used to record temperature. Pressure transducers were used to record pressure. Analog pressure gauges were used for setup and to monitor the test. A more extensive equipment description is included in this report, below. The test procedure is described in Appendix B. This procedure reflects the particular method and equipment used. Fixed orifices were used as flow control elements. Each orifice was calibrated using a positive displacement meter; with a regulated inlet pressure flowing through the orifice, into the meter and out to the atmosphere. Orifice calibration test results are attached as Appendix C. Each fixed orifice had a flow rate corresponding to inlet pressure, temperature and pressure drop. Actual regulator and orifice differential

pressures as well as orifice inlet temperature were used to calculate the deviation from target flow rates. Corrections were based on ideal gas laws and defined on the first page of Appendix C (bottom). The correction limits, per the test protocol, was 0.95-1.05 (1.00 infers no correction). Test data were reviewed with the calculations performed for each set of data (2/Min.).

Pertinent data for the containers

Containers were obtained from four manufacturers. The two metal containers were 47.6 pound water capacity (21.6 L); or nominal 20 pound LPG cylinders. The lined composite cylinder was slightly smaller, 45.5 pound water capacity (20.7 L). The linerless composite cylinder was larger; 52.9 pound water capacity (marked 24 L). A more extensive description is attached on Appendix D. Dimensional data for the metal cylinders were taken from the manufacturer’s web sites. Some dimensional data for the composite cylinders was obtained from the manufacturers or their web site. Other dimensional data was taken directly from exemplar composite cylinders (e.g. wall thickness).

Target pre-determined flow rate and ambient temperature

The target flow rate was 80,000 BTU/Hr. Assuming 2,516 BTU/FT³, this equates to 37.8 FT³/HR at standard temperature (60F) and pressure (atmospheric). Tests were conducted with a 60F and 30F ambient temperature. Each test was conducted twice to insure repeatability.

Piping schematic

A piping schematic is shown on Appendix E. This schematic does not describe instrumentation connections or the environment for the test (see below).

Equipment description (other than piping)

The outer environment for the cylinders consisted of a room, approximately 12’ by 24’. The room was well insulated and sealed except for two access doors. The temperature for this room was controlled via conventional HVAC controls (only AC was used) with 60F as the control temperature for all tests. The inner environment consisted of a walk-in freezer; nominally 6’ by 6’, interior dimensions – 5’ 2” by 5’2” with a 5’ 11” ceiling. Use of the freezer for the 60F tests (door open & freezer not operating) dampened temperature swings associated with normal temperature control cycling.

Page 7: boce propan-butan

The Comparative Vaporization Rates of Composite, Steel, and Aluminum Grill Cylinders

Page 3 of 4

The 30F tests were conducted with the freezer temperature set at 30F (and the outer environment still at 60F). The freezer was subdivided (top & bottom), separating the cylinders from the recirculating fan; again to dampen temperature swings due to temperature control cycling. A heater, in the form of four 100 watt light bulbs, was used as a heater; cycled to offset the localized cooling/refrigeration due to vapor withdrawal from the cylinders. The LPG vapor and instrumentation lines exited the freezer via a small conduit to the outer environment. Thermocouple lines went directly to the data acquisition unit. Vapor pressure lines went to pressure transducers which, in turn sent voltage signals to the data acquisition unit. The data acquisition/switch unit was an Agilent Technologies 34970A. Thermocouple leads and pressure transducer voltages were gathered into two HP34901A twenty channel MUX with T/C compensation. The 34970A would record data every 30 seconds; switching across the channels with ~12 milliseconds between channels. Actual time stamps for each individual recording are included in the raw data. As indicated above, thermocouple leads went directly to the MUX/switch unit since it has an internal reference and algorithm for temperature. The pressure transducers output was a voltage signal; nominally 0.5-5.5 volts DC – for a zero to full scale pressure input. Each transducer was calibrated against a ‘master’ gauge, and re-zeroed before each test. A more complete description of the channel assignment and pressure transducers is included in Appendix F. Transducer gain and offset values for each test is included in the appendix. Four sets of analog pressure gauges were used for monitoring the tests. These gauges were not used for data acquisition. Each set of gauges consisted of;

• WIKA Type 111.25, 4½ ” gauge, 0-160 PSIG (for cylinder pressure) • Magnehelic 0-15” WC gauge (for regulator pressure) • Magnehelic 0-2” WC gauge (for back pressure after the orifice)

‘Master’ gauges used for calibrating the pressure transducers;

• Heise 901A, 400 PSIG x 0.1, S/N S9-20659 (for cylinder pressure transducers)

• Dwyer 475-1 Digital Manometer, 20" WC x 0.01, S/N N21G51 (for regulator & orifice dP pressure transducers)

Electronic scale used to determine pre/post gross cylinder weight and tare weight; Mettler Toledo, Model 8213, S/N 2872919-2XW, 100 LB x 0.02.

Test Method for Determining the Vaporization Capacity of an LP-Gas Container ASTM D XXXX-YY 1. Scope

1.1 As LP-gas is utilized from a container, the remaining liquid cools due to vaporization. This test method is a measure of the ability of a container to conduct heat from the ambient to the liquid portion of LP-gas to prolong the availability of LP-gas vapor at a pressure that is suitable for the application.

1.2 This standard is limited to natural convection heating from the ambient and the conduction of that heat to the LP-gas liquid. It does not address forced air convection or radiation heating.

1.3 This method may be used to compare containers of different materials as well as geometries; size and shape.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 2. Reference Documents

2.1 ASTM Standards: D 1835 Standard Specification for Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases D 2598 Standard Practice for Calculation of Certain Physical Properties of

Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases from Compositional Analysis [add reference standards for temperature and humidity measurement]

2.2 Other Documents: US DOT regulations; 49 CFR § 178, Specifications for Packagings ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code

3. Terminology

3.1 Vaporization – When used in this standard, vaporization means the transition from liquid to vapor at saturated conditions.

3.2 Vaporization capacity – When used in this standard, vaporization capacity means the ability to vaporize liquid at a pressure usable for a particular application.

3.3 LP-gas – liquefied petroleum gas. Commercial propane or butane consisting mostly propane or butane as well as minor amounts of other LP-gases (See ASTM D 1835 and Section 7).

3.4 Container – When used in this standard, container means a pressure vessel suitable for commercial propane. Typically, these containers are designed and manufactured to the requirements of 49 CFR § 178 or the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code.

Appendix A Page 4 of 8

4. Summary of Test Method 4.1 LP-gas is withdrawn from a charged container, in a constant

temperature environment, at a pre-determined flow rate. The LP-gas vapor pressure is recorded at regular intervals until it drops to a predetermined value. 5. Significance and Use 5.1 LP-gas containers are manufactured utilizing a variety of materials and geometries. This method will provide a basis for modeling (predicting) the capability of a particular container design to vaporize sufficient vapor for a particular application. 5.2 Vaporization tends to reduce the temperature and vapor pressure of the remaining LP-gas. When the temperature of the remaining liquid is less than the environment, heat is conducted through the container walls and into the liquid. 5.3 This heat transfer from the ambient will somewhat counter the heat loss due to vaporization. The heat transfer from the ambient is limited by the temperature differential, wetted area of the container and the ability of the container shell to conduct heat. 5.4 When a container with insufficient vaporization capability is used, the available vapor pressure drops quickly and limits the time for a particular application; heating, cooking etc. 6. Apparatus 6.1 General – Since the test involves the withdrawal and measurement of LP-gas, the apparatus shall be suitable for LP-gas at the pressures involved.

6.2 Test Room – A room or chamber capable of maintaining a constant temperature, ± 2 °C (±3.6 °F), throughout the duration of the test. The test room shall be of sufficient size to allow at least .15 m (6.0 in.) from the outside of the test container(s) to any exterior wall and .3 m (12 in.) between containers. The surface in contact with the base of the test container shall be non-conducting (e.g. wood). Normal lighting, that does not radiate significant heat to the container, may be used for illumination. HVAC ducting shall not direct forced air onto the test container. 6.3 Thermometer – Any thermometer, thermocouple or other means capable of measuring temperature from -40 to 40 °C ±1 °C (-40 to 104 °F ±1.8 °F) throughout the duration of the test. 6.4 Pressure Gauge – Any pressure sensing device capable of measuring pressure from 0 to 1724 kPa gauge, ± 14 kPa (0 to 250 psig ±2 psi) throughout the duration of the test. 6.5 Flow Meter – Any means of determining a flow rate at ± 5% of the predetermined flow. The apparatus may be; fixed orifice, variable area flowmeters, mass flowmeters, positive displacement meters, scales or other means giving appropriate results. 6.6 Hygrometer – Any means of measuring the relative humidity of the ambient at the test temperature.

Page 13: boce propan-butan

Appendix A Page 5 of 8

6.7 Piping – The piping shall be sized to prevent undue restriction at the vaporization flow.

6.8 Test container – The subject container for the test. 7. Materials 7.1 Commercial LP-gas, with a minimum propane content of 95%, shall be used for the test.

7.2 If the makeup (fractional composition of LP-gases) is not determined, the pressure/temperature shall be recorded before and after the test (See Calibration and Procedure below).

7.3 The pressure/temperature relationship of the LP-gas shall reflect a mixture with a pressure not more than an equivalent 95% propane – 5% ethane mixture nor less than a 95% – 2.5% butane mixture. 8. Hazards 8.1 Refillable LP-gas containers are typically prohibited from indoor utilization1. LP-gas containers utilize pressure relief devices that will vent flammable gas in the event of an overpressure situation – such as from a fire. This vented gas can contribute significant fuel to a preexisting fire.

8.2 It is assumed the procedure will include the burning of LP-gas outside of the test room. Since the procedure withdraws flammable gas from the container and through measurement apparatus, appropriate means shall be in place to prevent the unexpected ignition of fugitive gas. 9. Preparation of Apparatus

9.1 Test Room – the temperature of the test room shall be set and allowed to stabilize for 6 hours before the test.. A schematic of the test room shall be included in the Report. A typical schematic is shown in Appendix B.

9.2 Piping schematic – a piping schematic shall be prepared to describe the arrangement of devices and fittings. This schematic shall be included in the Report. A typical schematic is shown on Appendix A.

9.3 Thermometer – LP-Gas temperature measurement shall be in the liquid, in a thermo well (in the liquid) or insulated and outside the base of metal containers. Alternately, LP-Gas temperature may be inferred from a pressure/temperature relationship, as described in 10.1 below.

9.4 Pressure gauge – Vapor pressure will be measured at the container service valve outlet, before any pressure regulation or significant restrictions. The pressure tap shall be designed such that flow will not bias the pressure measurement.

9.5 Flow meter – In-line flow measurement devices may be placed anywhere in the piping; assuming there are no branches in the piping. If a fixed orifice is used, it shall be pre-qualified at the starting test conditions using LP-Gas vapor.

9.6 Test Container –

1 See NFPA 58 for exceptions.

Appendix A Page 6 of 8

9.6.1 Record pertinent data. Pertinent data for the test container shall include2;

Manufacturer Model or part number Serial number Manufacture date Container class and pressure designation, (e.g. DOT 4BA240) Container material(s) Container outside diameter, height and end configuration (e.g.

spherical or elliptical) Container shell thickness Tare weight (TW) Water capacity (WC) Service valve manufacturer, model and manufacture date3

9.6.2 Charge the container with LP-gas, noting the final gross weight. In no event shall a container be charged with more than 42% of its water capacity, by weight. 10. Calibration

10.1 LP-gas pressure/temperature relationship. If the construction or material of the test container make direct temperature measurement impractical, a pressure/temperature relationship may be utilized; based on the fractional composition of the LP-gases or the stabilized pressure/temperature relationship before and after the test (average). If used, calculations of the pressure/temperature relationship shall be part of the Report4.

10.2 Flow meter. If direct reading flowmeters are not utilized, flow measurement may be based on some combination of fixed restrictions, pressure, mass or volume over time. The combination must be adequately described in the Report so that it can be recreated. Calibration tests must be included in the Report. 11. Conditioning 11.1 Before the test, allow the temperature of the charged container to stabilize at the specified test room control ambient temperature. Record the pressure at the stabilized temperature. Container(s) shall not be placed closer than 0.15 m (6.0 in.) from any exterior wall and not closer than .3 m (12 in.) from each other. 12. Procedure

12.1 Before commencing the test, initial conditions to be recorded include; LP-gas vapor pressure Ambient temperature

2 Manufacturer’s drawings may be referenced for pertinent container information 3 In consideration of high flow rates during the test, the service valve may be replaced with a service valve having a minimum passage diameter not exceeding 7.9 mm (0.312 inch) 4 See ASTM D 2598

5 STP conditions: Temperature = 15.5 C (60F) and Pressure = 101.3 kPa (1 atm, 14.7 psia, 0 psig) 6 The conversion is based on pure propane and considered sufficiently accurate.

15. Precision and Bias [under revision]

15.1 Precision – The following criteria should be used for judging the acceptability of results (95% confidence): 15.1.1 Repeatability – the difference between two test results obtained by the same operator with the same apparatus under constant operating conditions on identical test cylinders would in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the following value only in one case in twenty: Time; 5% norm 15.1.2 Reproducibility – the difference between two single and independent results obtained by different operators working in different locations on identical test cylinders and using identical LP-gas would in the long run, in the normal and correct operation of the test method, exceed the following value only in one case in twenty: Time; 10% norm 15.2 Bias – The test for vaporization capacity is useful as a basis for predicting how a container will perform in conditions that would seldom be the same as the test conditions. There is no acceptance criteria for vaporization capacity, hence bias is not a consideration.
