6 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF LIQUID OFF TAKE VALVES (LOT) FOR LPG CYLINDERS A. Specifications In an LPG Cylinder, LPG exists in dual phase under equilibrium i.e. Vapour phase and Liquid phase. Normally, during usage, LPG is withdrawn in the vapour phase through the Self Closing (SC) Valve fitted on LPG Cylinder. This SC valve is made of brass and is designed as per IS The Liquid Off Take Valve (LOT) is to facilitate the withdrawal of LPG from cylinder (up to water capacity of 111 liters) in liquid phase. LOT Valve can be either of: a) Model No. D-V6-CH 15 of SCG, Thailand make or b) Model No. 9107K8A of Rego, ECII, USA make or c) Any other equivalent model and make duly approved by PESO, Nagpur (India) The desired specifications are as under: Item Detail Inlet (Cylinder/tank) connection Specification ¾ 14 NGT, taper 1 in 16 thread of ANSI/CSA/CGA Standard V Outlet Connection 1-1/4 5 ACME 2 G-H / CGA 790 V-1 Built in Safety Relief Valve Set Pressure 20 kg/cm 2 Fitted with Excess Flow Check Valve Closing at 7.5 LPM +10/-20% (Material Brass) HDPE Tube Length 44 (1100mm) material HDPE Testing Pressure 19 kg/cm 2 Relief Valve Flow Capacity 6 m 3 /min (approx), Filling Rate Minimum 20 LPM (approx) Identification Mark Drawing In case of the imported valves, the valves shall be UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc) approved. Each valve shall bear UL mark on the body. In case of Indigenous make, the valves shall be embossed with TPIA Mark on the body Drawing should be PESO approved

7 B. Design Features LOT Valve shall have the following features: a) Body: Body of valve shall be made of brass. However, tenderer can specify the grade of material & its physical properties. Body of valve shall be such that it can be fitted easily on the cylinder bung and is not fouling with the VP ring & stay plate (refer drawing at the end of this annexure) provided for protection of valve. The inlet connection of valve ( fitted to the Cylinder) shall have external threading to match with the existing internal bung thread on cylinder i.e. ¾ 14 NGT, taper 1 in16, thread of ANSI/CSA/CGA Standard V The outlet connection shall be an integral part of the valve with the external threads of the specification 1-1/4 5ACME 2 G-H / CGA 790 V-1. b) Hand Wheel: Hand wheel is required to regulate the flow rate of liquid LPG. It shall be secured to the stem by a self-tapping screw, such that it does not come out in transportation or during handling. c) Pressure Relief valve (PRV): A Pressure Relief Valve is required on LOT Valve as the latter is intended for liquid off take. PRV shall be set at max 20 kg/cm 2 and shall be self-setting spring loaded type and should be an integral part of the LOT. d) Excess Flow Check Valve (EFCV): Excess flow check valve is required at the bottom inlet side of LOT valve (which would also be the top of liquid withdrawal tube) such that it would be within the LPG cylinder when LOT volve is fixed on it. e) Outlet Connection shall be an integral part of valve and be of a design & construction that shall ensure leak proof connection when a flexible-hoseadaptor is fixed on it. f) Auxiliary Check Valve in Outlet Connection (refer (e) above) this is an optional feature with an integrated arrangement that would not allow any product flow from LOT unless the flexible-hose-adaptor is properly fitted on the outlet connection. Models with this feature shall be preferred over others. g) Liquid Withdrawal (Eduction) Tube: In order to facilitate direct removal of liquid LPG from the cylinder, LOT is to be provided with a tube that shall go right up to the bottom of the LPG cylinder when LOT is screwed on to it. h) Safety Cap: The LOT Valve shall have a Plastic Safety Cap with Rubber Ring and Tether for LOT Valve outlet. The Cap shall also be provided with 2 numbers of lugs with hole so that it can be used by the filling plant to tie it to the valve body by soft twin nylon chords of minimum length 300 mm(double cord of combined dia 2.0 mm (Ø1mm X2 NOS of length 300mm (+/-3) from knot to knot. The Cap should withstand a minimum Pneumatic Pressure of 17 kg/cm 2. i) Notwithstanding the above requirements, the model offered shall be in conformance to clause 4: design and specification of ISO 15995:2006 in general and should be tested for conformity to and should pass all the type
