CGA G-13-2016 PDF Download

The CGA G-13-2016 standard provides guidelines and requirements for the safe storage and handling of silane gas and silane mixtures. It covers various aspects such as installation, siting, design of equipment, piping and control systems, as well as fabrication and installation of storage and closed-use systems.

The standard takes into consideration the flammability of silane and sets a threshold of 1.37% silane content, which represents the lower flammable limit (LFL) under normal temperature and pressure conditions. It specifically applies to silane containers like tube trailers, ISO modules, cylinder packs with manifolded cylinders, and individual cylinders. Silane mixtures that contain other hazardous components may have additional requirements beyond what is specified in this standard.

The standard not only focuses on the design and installation of systems but also addresses operational steps, fire protection measures, gas monitoring, ventilation, and other related safety measures. It aims to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure the safe handling and storage of silane and silane mixtures in various industrial settings.
