pressures higher than 276 kPa (40 psia), having a
circular cross-section, and a maximum water capacity
of less than 454 kg (1,000 lbs.). It does not include a
portable tank, multi-unit tank car tank, cargo tank, or
tank car.
5.1.3 cylinder valve — a mechanica l device attached
to a compressed gas cylinder that permits flow into or
out of the cylinder when the device is in the open
position and prevents flow when in the closed position.
5.1.4 disconnect shutoff — a device, which will not
permit the flow of gas through an open cylinder valve
without attachment to an outlet connector.
5.1.5 flow coefficient (Cv) — a num eric constant used
to characterize the flow capacity of a valve.
5.1.6 manual locking device — a device used to
prevent the cylinder valve from opening during
transportation or service.
5.1.7 manual override — a device u sed for opening
the cylinder valve manually.
5.1.8 normal temperature — a temp erature of 21°C ±
6°C (70°F ± 10°F).
5.1.9 normally closed — a design in which the
cylinder valve closure member automatically assumes
the closed position upon loss of compressed gas to the
actuator.
5.1.10 packless valve — a valve with a diaphragm or
bellows stem seal instead of a packing or O-ring seal at
the stem.
5.1.11 pneumatic actuator — a devic e which converts
compressed gas pressure into mechanical motion and
force to move the cylinder valve closure member.
5.1.12 proof pressure — a pressure g reater than the
cylinder valve’s rated pressure that the cylinder valve
can withstand without impairing its ability to meet the
leak rate limits specified in SEMI F1 upon return to
rated pressure.
5.1.13 rated pressure — the pressure at which the
cylinder valve can meet the performance and
qualification requirements of this specification. Rated
pressure shall be specified by the manufacturer.
5.1.14 valve closure member — that part of the cylin-
der valve which is positioned in the flow stream to per-
mit or obstruct flow, depending on its closure position.
5.1.15 wetted surface — surface with in the interior of
the cylinder valve, which is in contact with the
controlled gas. The surface in contact with the gas used
to actuate the cylinder valve is not, for the purpose of
this specification, considered a “wetted surface”.
