EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1797 standard. This European standard specifies requirements for gas/material compatibility (such as chemical resistance) for cryogenic containers, but does not cover mechanical properties (eg for low temperature application).
It provides guidance for compatibility with gases other than oxygen, gives detailed requirements for compatibility with oxygen and oxygen-enriched atmospheres, and defines test methods for determining the oxygen compatibility of materials (metallic and non-metallic) to be used for cryogenic vessels and related equipment.
It mainly concerns materials that are or may be in contact with liquid/gaseous oxygen, eg materials for cryogenic containers used for the storage or transport of liquid oxygen.
It also deals with materials that may be in contact with an oxygen-enriched medium, such as insulating materials used for nitrogen, neon, hydrogen and helium cryogenic containers in the case of air condensation.
The selection of a material for use in an oxygen-enriched or oxygen-enriched atmosphere is primarily a matter of understanding the conditions that cause the oxygen to react with the material. Most materials in contact with oxygen will not ignite without a source of ignition energy. Ignition and combustion will occur when a rate of input of energy converted to heat is greater than the rate of heat release and the resulting heat build-up continues for a sufficient time.
EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN 1797 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories. Thanks to these services, businesses receive more effective, high-performance and quality testing services and provide safe, fast and uninterrupted service to their customers.
