Installation and equipment for liquefied natural gas - Design and testing of marine transfer systems - Part 2: Design and testing of transfer hoses
This European Standard gives general guidelines for the design, material selection, qualification, certification, and testing details for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) transfer hoses for offshore transfer or on coastal weather-exposed facilities for aerial, floating and submerged configurations or a combination of these. Whilst this European Standard is applicable to all LNG hoses, it is acknowledged that there may be further specific requirements for floating and submerged hoses.
The transfer hoses will be designed to be part of transfer systems (it means that they will be fitted with ERS, QCDC, handling systems, hydraulic and electric components etc.) To avoid unnecessary repetition, cross-references to EN 1474-1 and EN 1474-3, are made for all compatible items, and for references, definitions and abbreviations. Where additional references, definitions and abbreviations are required specifically for LNG hoses, they are listed in this European Standard.
Transfer hoses need to be durable when operating in the marine environment and to be flexible with a minimum bending radius compatible with handling and the operating requirements of the transfer system.

Dieses Dokument gibt generelle Leitlinien für die Auslegung, Werkstoffauswahl, Eignung, Zertifizierung und Prüfdetails für Schlauchleitungen für Flüssigerdgas (LNG, en: liquified natural gas) für die Übergabe auf See.
Die Übergabeschlauchleitungen werden als Teil eines Übergabesystems ausgelegt (d. h., sie können mit ERS [en: emergency release system], QCDC [en: quick connect disconnect coupler], Handhabungssystemen, hydraulischen und elektrischen Bauteilen usw. ausgerüstet sein). Zur Vermeidung von unnötigen Wiederholungen wird für alle vergleichbaren Gegenstände, für Definitionen und Abkürzungen auf EN ISO 16904 und EN 1474 3 verwiesen. Sofern zusätzliche Verweise, Definitionen und Abkürzungen für LNG-Schlauchleitungen benötigt werden, sind sie in dieser Europäischen Norm aufgeführt.

Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices générales relatives à la conception, au choix des matériaux, à la qualification, à la certification et aux détails des essais concernant les flexibles destinés aux applications de transfert marin de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL).
Les flexibles de transfert font partie intégrante des systèmes de transfert (ce qui signifie qu’ils peuvent être équipés d’ERS, de QCDC, de systèmes de manutention, de composants hydrauliques et électriques, etc.). Afin d’éviter toute répétition inutile, les références à l’EN ISO 16904 et à l’EN 1474-3 sont valables pour tous les éléments compatibles, ainsi que pour les références, définitions et abréviations. Si des références, des définitions et des abréviations supplémentaires sont spécifiquement nécessaires pour les tuyaux flexibles de GNL, elles sont énumérées dans la présente Norme européenne.

4 Applications and Qualification Categories
4.1 Applications
This subclause describes the main application using LNG transfer hose assemblies.
As industry and technology is developing, other type of application may consider using LNG transfer hose
assemblies and shall be covered in this standard.List of applications (not exhaustive):
— Offshore tandem FLNG offloading / loading aerial or floating;
— Ship-To-Ship transfer such as LNGC to FSRU, LNG Bunkering;
— Shore-To-Ship such as LNG bunkering;
— Ship-To-Shore such as offloading / loading.
Based on the application and use of the hose assembly, there are different categories of hose assembly
qualification required. Main difference are the dynamic loads on the hose assembly. The following subclause
introduces Hose assembly Qualification Categories (HQC).NOTE Guidelines for the owners regarding applications and relevant HQC are available in Annex C. Selection of HQC
remains the owner’s responsibility.4.2 Qualification Categories
This subclause establishes criteria for definition of Hose Qualification Categories for the hose assemblies
covered by this standard. The Hose Qualification Categories specified below define different design
verification requirements as per subclause 7.2.2.The test scope within all Qualification Categories define the basis for the hose assemblies qualification but are
independent of each project specific data (metocean data, waves & current data,). During the design for a
project the required HQC should be checked by the owner and / or IVA.The owner / IVA can require executing additional tests in order to determine if the proposed hose assembly
is “Fit for Purpose” (For fatigue test for example, specific attention should be paid on bending loads adjacent
to end terminations)— Hose Qualification Category A
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN 1474-2:2020
EN 1474-2:2020 (E)
This HQC is intended to be used for quasi-static applications (i.e. application only driven by handling
and/or thermal and pressure fatigue).This category is including the performance requirements applicable to all aerial transfer hose assembly,
typically transfer hose assemblies used in protected environment for intermittent usage without contact
with water and with negligible dynamic motions.— Hose Qualification Category B
This HQC is intended to be used for dynamic applications driven by aerial transfer fatigue including
significant tensile and bending fatigue loads (e.g. by vessel motions or wind loads).
This Category is including the performance requirements applicable to all aerial transfer hose assemblies
and typically applicable for the hose assemblies used in combinatio...
