need working pressure and Pmax for butane/propane tanks
(OP)
Anybody knows where I can find documentation about the small tanks (see link https://www.google.be/search?q=camping%20gasfles&a... ) of butane and/or propane?
Problem is as follows: gaseous pressure or propane is about 8.5 bar (123 psi) @ room temp (20 °C) but when stored outdoors, in direct sunlight, temp can go as high as 50-60 °C (120-140 F) > pressire in the tanks could rise up to 18 bar (260 psi) and some old documentation I've found is that the test pressure of those tanks is 20 bars (only 30 psi more than could be expected in summer sun). I don't know however whether or not that information is still valid.
any pointers to as where I might find such info is very much appreciated!

There probably are. Most probably there are also euro codes that address this (I'm from europe). Just need to find those...
