One of my all time favorite RAGAGEPs is the Compressed Gas Association’s (CGA) 2.1 for those who handle anhydrous ammonia. This year, they published the 7th Edition, and they made it even better. Unlike so many RAGAGEPs, the CGA embraced the practice of “Continuous improvement” and really did a nice job with their additional explanations of their existing requirements. It almost seems they were sitting on my shoulder during some of our audits over the past nine years. Here are some of my favorite revisions and additions to the 2023 edition.
- Pressure Testing and Leak Testing Piping
- Hose Testing
- Hydrostatic Relief Valves
- Transfer of ammonia
- Electrical equipment and wiring
- Emergency Shutoff Valves
