Excerpts from session reports related to this document
LNG | Session 11 | 10 Jul 2013

There has been a change in the last version of the document that was prepared and sent to the LNG TF. A warning about preventing ‘LNG trapping’ was added. (LNG TF-11-01)

E-mail comments from Ravi Muthachari (Ashok Leyland) indicated that the word ‘cylinder’ is not appropriate for LNG so the term was changed to LNG ‘tank’.

He also commented about the inconsistency of the use of the term ‘automatic shut-off valve’ in the text so the change was made in the terminology to refer to this now as the ‘automatic valve.’ The definitions section of R.110 makes clear this is a ‘shut-off’ valve.
