directive is to provide a uniform level of product safety Product Markings
throughout the countries of the European Union. Swagelok TPED-compliant sample cylinders and
cylinder valves are marked with the pi ( ) symbol

Cleaning and Packaging

All Swagelok TPED-compliant sample cylinders, rupture disc
assemblies, and cylinder valves are cleaned and packaged in
accordance with Swagelok Standard Cleaning and Packaging
(SC-10) (MS‑06‑62).
Cleaning and packaging in accordance with Swagelok Special
Cleaning and Packaging (SC-11) (MS-06-63), to ensure
compliance with product cleanliness requirements stated
in ASTM G93 Level C are available as an option for cylinder
valves. To order, insert ‑SC11 into the valve ordering number.
Example: SS-16DPF4-BC-SC11-PD

Ordering Numbers

Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED)

The Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive (TPED) provides requirements relating to the design, manufacture, and
testing of transportable pressure vessels and accessories, including sample cylinders and rupture discs. The intent of the
directive is to provide a uniform level of product safety throughout the European Union countries.
For information about TPED-compliant Swagelok products, see the Swagelok Products Compliant with the Transportable

Outage tubes can also be

welded directly to the male inlet
of a Swagelok nonrotating stem
needle valve. The valve is then
threaded into the female port of
a sample cylinder.

Purpose
Outage tubes provide a vapor space of the desired volume
in cylinders containing liquefied gases, so that liquid in the
cylinder can expand if the temperature increases. Without
enough vapor space, a small temperature increase can
cause the liquid to expand and increase the pressure
dramatically.
See local regulations and other appropriate guidelines for
safe filling limits for your application.
Outage tube Vapor
Use space
Outage is the vapor space in the cylinder expressed as a
percentage of the total volume of the cylinder. Total
% outage = (vapor space/total volume) × 100 volume

The cylinder is held vertically with the outage tube at the

top, as shown. The length of the outage tube determines Liquid
the amount of vapor space. Sampling methods and
the use of the outage tube are described in technical
publications such as ASTM D1265, Standard Practice
for Sampling Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (Manual
Method).
