Static thermoplastic tanks for the above ground storage of chemicals — Blow moulded or rotationally moulded polyethylene tanks — Requirements and test methods

This European Standard specifies requirements for materials, physical properties and performance for blow moulded and rotationally moulded polyethylene single tanks, with or without reinforcement, for the above ground storage of chemical liquids having a maximum specific gravity of 1 400 kg/m3 except water and those liquids dealt with by EN 13341.
It is only applicable to static blow moulded or rotationally moulded polyethylene tanks, which are subjected to atmospheric pressures but not subject to any external loading and having a volume of 400 l to 10 000 l. Except for periodic temperature fluctuation their normal operating temperature does not exceed 25 °C.
Tanks according to this European Standard are expected to have a period of intended use of 10 years.
This European Standard specifies test methods and factory production control tests as well.
NOTE   National and/or international regulations above and beyond the requirements of this standard may apply to the storage of liquids and the installation of tanks.

Ortsfeste Tanks aus Thermoplasten für die oberirdische Lagerung von Chemikalien - Tanks aus blas- oder rotationsgeformtem Polyethylen - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen für Werkstoffe, physikalische Eigenschaften und Leistungs-eigenschaften für einzelne Tanks aus blas- oder rotationsgeformtem Polyethylen mit oder ohne Verstärkung für die oberirdische Lagerung von chemischen Flüssigkeiten mit einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1 400 kg/m3, mit Ausnahme von Wasser und den Flüssigkeiten nach EN 13341, fest. Sie gilt ausschließlich für ortsfeste Tanks aus blas- oder rotationsgeformtem Polyethylen mit einem Volumen zwischen 400 l und 10 000 l, die atmosphärischen Drücken, nicht aber äußerer Belastung ausgesetzt sind. Ihre normale Betriebstemperatur überschreitet nicht 25 °C, sie können jedoch vorübergehenden Temperatur-schwankungen unterliegen. Für Tanks nach dieser Europäischen Norm wird eine vorgesehene Lebensdauer von 10 Jahren erwartet. Diese Europäische Norm legt Prüfverfahren sowie Prüfungen für die werkseigene Produktionskontrolle fest. ANMERKUNG Es ist möglich, dass über die Anforderungen dieser Norm hinausgehende nationale und/oder inter-nationale Vorschriften für die Lagerung von Flüssigkeiten in Tanks und deren Aufstellung gelten.

Réservoirs statiques thermoplastiques destinés au stockage non enterré de produits chimiques - Réservoirs en polyéthylène moulés par soufflage ou par rotation - Exigences et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les exigences relatives aux matières, les propriétés physiques et les
performances des réservoirs simples en polyéthylène moulés par soufflage ou par rotation, avec ou sans renfort,
utilisés pour le stockage non enterré de liquides chimiques ayant une gravité spécifique maximale de 1 400 kg/m3,
à l'exception de l'eau et des liquides traités dans l'EN 13341.
Elle s'applique uniquement aux réservoirs statiques en polyéthylène moulés par soufflage ou par rotation qui sont
soumis à la pression atmosphérique mais qui ne sont pas soumis à une quelconque charge externe et dont le
volume est compris entre 400 l et 10 000 l. A l'exception des fluctuations périodiques de température, leur
température normale de service ne dépasse pas 25 °C.
La durée d'utilisation prévue des réservoirs conformes à la présente Norme Européenne est de 10 ans.
La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les méthodes d'essai ainsi que les essais de contrôle de la production en
usine.
NOTE Des réglementations nationales et/ou internationales allant au-delà des exigences de la présente norme peuvent
s'appliquer au stockage des liquides et à l'installation des réservoirs.

Stacionarni plastomerni rezervoarji za nadzemno skladiščenje kemikalij - Rezervoarji iz polietilena, pihanega ali rotacijsko oblikovanega - Zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard določa zahteve za materiale, fizikalne lastnosti in delovanje rezervoarjev iz pihanega ali rotacijsko oblikovanega polietilena, z armaturo ali brez nje, za nadzemno skladiščenje kemičnih tekočin z največjo specifično maso 1400 kg/m3, razen vode in tekočin iz standarda EN 13341. Uporablja se le za stacionarne rezervoarje iz pihanega ali rotacijsko oblikovanega polietilena, ki so izpostavljeni atmosferskemu tlaku, niso pa izpostavljeni nobeni zunanji obremenitvi in imajo prostornino od 400 do 10.000 l. Razen občasnega temperaturnega nihanja njihova običajna delovna temperatura ne presega 25 °C. Za rezervoarje v skladu s tem evropskim standardom je pričakovana doba predvidene uporabe 10 let. Ta evropski standard določa preskusne metode in kontrolne preskuse tovarniške proizvodnje.
