ASTM F1385-07(2018)

Standard Practice for Platforms in Cargo Tanks

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This practice establishes the procedure for the construction and installation of platforms to be fabricated and installed by the shipyards within the cargo tanks.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides design, construction, and installation criteria for platforms in cargo tanks.  
1.2 Where platforms are attached to ladders see Figs. 1-4.
FIG. 1 Cargo Platform—Bulkhead  
FIG. 2 Cargo Platform Elevation  
FIG. 3 Cargo Platform—Girder  
FIG. 4 Cargo Platforms Showing Typical Sections  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are included for information only and are not considered standard  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
