Full title and description

STB BS ISO 19372-2015 — Microturbines applications. Safety. National adoption (STB) of the international standard ISO 19372:2015, also published as BS ISO 19372:2015. The document specifies safety requirements for stationary microturbine (micro gas turbine) engine-generator assemblies, their safety-related control and detection systems, and essential auxiliaries for a range of onshore and offshore installations.

Abstract

ISO 19372:2015 sets out safety requirements for industrial, commercial and residential automated stationary microturbine engine-generator assemblies (micro gas turbines) with nominal supply voltages up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC and individual unit output ratings up to 500 kW. It covers use with liquid and gaseous fuels, safety-related control and detection systems, essential auxiliaries and applications in ordinary and hazardous locations for various cycle types (open, closed and semi-closed).

Scope

The standard applies to stationary microturbine engine-generator assemblies (micro gas turbines) intended for installation and use in ordinary and hazardous locations. It addresses safety requirements for assemblies and subsystems with output ratings up to 500 kW per unit and voltage limits (nominal supply voltages not exceeding 1 000 V AC and 1 500 V DC). Included are requirements for fuel systems (liquid and gaseous fuels), safety-related control and detection systems, essential auxiliaries and suitability for different thermodynamic cycle configurations.

Key topics and requirements

• Safety requirements for design and construction of microturbine engine-generator assemblies.
• Electrical limits and requirements for supply voltages and system ratings (AC and DC thresholds as defined in the standard).
• Fuel handling and fuel-system safety for liquid and gaseous fuels.
• Safety-related control, detection, protection, and shutdown systems.
• Requirements for installation, commissioning, operation in ordinary and hazardous locations, and essential auxiliary systems.
• Marking, documentation and information to be supplied with equipment for safe use and maintenance.
• Tests and verification methods relevant to safety functions and assemblies.

Typical use and users

Primary users include microturbine manufacturers, equipment designers, system integrators, safety and compliance engineers, test laboratories, certification bodies and regulators. Owners and operators of onshore and offshore installations (industrial sites, commercial facilities, residential microgrid applications) use the standard for safe selection, installation, operation and maintenance of microturbine generator assemblies.

Related standards

The document is ISO 19372:2015 adopted nationally (BS ISO 19372:2015) and referenced alongside other standards dealing with gas-turbine safety, electrical safety and hazardous-area equipment (users typically cross-reference the IEC 60079 series for equipment in explosive atmospheres and other ISO/TC 192 publications). National adoptions and distributor listings appear under BS ISO 19372:2015 and in some national catalogues as STB BS ISO 19372-2015.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: STB BS ISO 19372-2015 is a national listing/adoption of the international standard ISO 19372:2015 (published also as BS ISO 19372:2015). It specifies safety requirements for stationary microturbine engine-generator assemblies and associated safety systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers design, construction, control and detection systems, fuel-system considerations, essential auxiliaries and installation/use in ordinary and hazardous locations for microturbine assemblies (units up to 500 kW and defined voltage limits).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, designers, safety engineers, test labs, certification bodies, installers and operators of microturbine systems use the standard to ensure safe design, installation and operation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO record for ISO 19372:2015 shows the edition published in 2015 and the standard was confirmed in recent ISO reviews; national adoptions (BS ISO 19372:2015 and listings as STB BS ISO 19372-2015) are available from national bodies and distributors. Users should check their national catalogue for any later revisions or amendments before applying the standard.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is an ISO standard produced under ISO/TC 192 (Gas turbines). While not a "part" of a numbered multi-part series, it is related to other ISO and IEC standards addressing gas-turbine and electrical safety; users commonly reference related technical committees and standards when implementing safety requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Microturbine, micro gas turbine, safety, engine-generator assembly, hazardous locations, control systems, fuel safety, BS ISO 19372, ISO 19372.
