What is ISO 12614‑15 about?
ISO 12614‑15 is part 15 of the multi-series standard that specifies tests and requirements for the capacitance fuel content gauge, a liquefied natural gas fuel system component intended for use on the types of motor vehicles defined in ISO 3833.
ISO 12614‑15 is applicable to vehicles using natural gas in accordance with ISO 15403-1 (mono-fuel, bi-fuel, or dual-fuel applications).
NOTE-
ISO 12614‑15 is not applicable to the following:
- Fuel containers
- Stationary gas engines
- Container mounting hardware
- Electronic fuel management
- Refuelling receptacles
Who is ISO 12614‑15 for?
ISO 12614‑15 on capacitance fuel content gauge is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of LNG vehicles
- Manufacturers of capacitance fuel content gauge
- Vehicle regulatory authorities
- Vehicle repair shops
Why should you use ISO 12614‑15?
Good quality fuel system components are very important for the efficient functioning of an LNG vehicle. ISO 12614‑15 specifies guidelines for the construction of capacitance fuel content gauge. These guidelines include the materials to be used and the method for assembly of those materials. The standard helps you manufacture durable fuel system components.
ISO 12614‑15 provides marking instructions on capacitance fuel content gauge. With these markings, you can identify and trace the capacitance fuel content gauge.
ISO 12614‑15 provides tests to check the insulation resistance of capacitance fuel content gauge. The tests will enable you to check for a potential failure of the insulation between the natural gas detectors connectors and the housing.
