b) a self contained liquefied petroleum gas or propane gas supply system of a single cylinder with a maximum size of 20 lb (9.1 kg) of fuel

1.7

This Standard applies to appliances operating at inlet gas pressures not to exceed ½ psi (3.5 kPa) for connection to a fixed fuel piping system:

a) for use with natural gas
b) for use with manufactured gas
c) for use with mixed gas
d) for use with liquefied petroleum gases
e) For use with LP gas air mixtures

b) operating at regulated outlet pressures in excess of 1 psi (6.9 kPa) but not greater than 10 psi (69 kPa)

The construction of appliances for use with the above mentioned gases is covered under Clause 4.

The performance of appliances for use with the above mentioned gases is covered under Clause 5.

1.9

Throughout this document gauge pressures are designated in pounds per square inch, (psi) and kilopascals (kPa). Use of the terminology psig is not used. Where psi is used it is understood to be pound per square inch gauge. Absolute pressures are not used in this standard.
