ASABE Releases Anhydrous Ammonia Equipment Standard

ASABE has completed work on ANSI/ASABE S620 Safety for Anhydrous Ammonia Application Equipment.

Anhydrous ammonia application equipment is becoming more complex, with integrated metering and distribution systems, automated control systems, automated hitching functions, and advanced product flow functions. This standard addresses nurse tank coupling and sectional delivery system design and is specific to the implements of husbandry used in the local transport and application of anhydrous ammonia for agricultural fertilizer. The standard will apply only to equipment manufactured following its publication.

ASABE members with standards access and those with site-license privileges can access the full-text via electronic download on the ASABE online Technical Library at elibrary.asabe.org. Others can obtain a copy for a fee directly from the library or by contacting ASABE headquarters at OrderStandard@asabe.org.
