CGA Announcement
Kristy L. Morrison, Compressed Gas Association

The Compressed Gas Association (CGA) is developing H-5, Installation Standards for Bulk Hydrogen Supply Systems as an American National Standard, and is revising an existing American National Standard, P-18, Standard for Bulk Inert Gas Systems. would welcome participation from any interested members especially general interest, trade association, equipment supplier, and general retailer categories for P-18.

Information on all ongoing CGA ANSI projects, as well as CGA procedures for the development of American National Standards, are available on CGA's website at http://www.cganet.com/ANS_site/ANS.htm.

P-18 Announcement

CGA announces the revision of P-18, Standard for Bulk Inert Gas Systems (an American National Standard). P-18 was approved as an American National Standard in 2006 and will be revised under the ANSI Essential Requirements. The P-18 ANSI Committee is currently seeking participants in the user, general interest, trade association, equipment supplier, and general retailer categories, defined on the attached committee member application form.

CGA's procedures for the development of American National Standards can be viewed online at http://www.cganet.com/ANS_site/ANS.htm.

P-18 is one of a series of publications compiled by the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA), to satisfy the demand for information relative to the production, transportation, handling, and storage of compressed gases, cryogenic liquids, and related products. This publication provides information on installation of industrial bulk inert gas systems for argon, nitrogen, and helium service.

Please submit completed committee member application forms to Kristy Morrison (kmorrison@cganet.com).

H-5 Announcement

CGA announces the revision of H-5, Installation Standards for Bulk Hydrogen Supply Systems. H-5 is proposed for development as an American National Standard and will be revised under the ANSI Essential Requirements. The H-5 ANSI Committee is currently seeking participants in the producer, user, general interest, and standards development organization categories, defined on the attached committee member application form.

CGA's procedures for the development of American National Standards can be viewed online at http://www.cganet.com/ANS_site/ANS.htm.

H-5 contains suggested minimum installation standards for bulk hydrogen supply systems. It is intended to provide recommendations for installing hydrogen supply systems. The standard covers the entire process: (1) site selection, (2) equipment selection, (3) regulatory compliance, (4) equipment transportation and setting, (5) equipment installation, (6) system start-up, (7) operation, and (8) system removal. The standard also provides safety and health considerations. Typical system flow diagrams are included.
