3.3.7 Soak cycle. After subjection to the soak cycle test (see
4.6.9), the cylinder shall withstand a hydrostatic burst pressure of not

storage test (see 4. 6.10) shall withstand a hydrostatic burst pressure
of not less than 2.2 times room temperature operating pressure.
3.3.9 Humidity cycle. The cylinder subjected to the humidity cycle
test (see 4.6. 11) shall subsequently pass the hydrostatic burst test at
a minimum pressure of 2.2 times the room temperature operating pressure.
