Scope:

1.1  These requirements cover regulators used to reduce the pressure of compressed industrial gases from a source or storage cylinder pressure of not more than 5500 psig (37.91 MPa) to the use pressure.

1.2  Regulators covered by these requirements are intended for use with compressed gases such as air, carbon dioxide, inert gases, fuel gases, nitrogen, nitrogen oxide, and oxygen

Project need:

It is proposed to merge ULV/ORD-C252, Guide for the Compressed Gas Regulators, with ANSI/UL 252, Compressed Gas Regulators, as a Joint Canada-US Standard. The new standard intends to address the US and Canadian stakeholder needs in a single standard.
