What is ISO 20766‑10 - Gas-tight housing about?
ISO 20766 is a series of international standards on road vehicles that specifies general information regarding the gas-tight housing component of liquefied petroleum gas fuel, intended for use on the types of motor vehicles.
ISO 20766‑10 is the tenth part of the ISO 20766 series of documents that provides general design principles and specifies requirements for instructions and marking and specifies test requirements for the gas-tight housing.
NOTE 1: ISO 20766‑10 is applicable to vehicles (mono-fuel, bi-fuel or dual-fuel applications) using gaseous fuels in accordance with ISO 9162.
NOTE 2: ISO 20766‑10 is not applicable to the following:
- Fuel containers
- Stationary gas engines
- Container mounting hardware
- Electronic fuel management
- Refuelling receptacles.
Who is ISO 20766‑10 - Gas-tight housing for?
ISO 20766‑10 on LPG fuel systems components is useful for:
- Manufacturers of LPG fuel vehicles
- Road vehicle engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- LPG suppliers
- Electric cables manufacturers and suppliers
Why should you use ISO 20766‑10 - Gas-tight housing?
Gas-tight housing is a device that vents gas leakage outside the vehicle including the gas ventilation hose.
ISO 20766‑10 gives marking guidelines so that the users and manufacturer can trace the product in accordance with working pressure and temperature range, the direction of flow (when necessary for correct installation), the flow capacity, type of fuel, and electrical ratings.
ISO 20766‑10 navigates you through the requirements on the construction and assembly of the gas-tight housing. ISO 20766‑10 describes the test methods for gas-tight housing that can be used with the actual connection to the tank.
ISO 20766‑10 guides manufacturers with tools to improve their product by outlining tests that protect the device from external leakage, perform continued operations and ensure hydraulic strength.
Moreover, ISO 20766‑10 could assist you in achieving the provision of a method and arrangement for providing a gas-tight joint between two housing portions, e.g., between an end flange and a tubular pole-unit housing for a circuit interrupter. The housing is provided with grooves to retrain adhesive during the assembly process. With obedience and compliance to ISO 20766‑10, you can achieve precision in terms of product functionality.
