9 NOTE 2 RID/ADR restrict the use of materials with respect to the maximum yield and tensile strength of fine-grained steel for welded shells, maximum ratios of yield/tensile strength for welded steel shells and of the minimum elongation at fracture for welded fine- grained other steel and aluminium shells. Welded shells shall be fabricated from a material which has been shown to have acceptable welding characteristics. 4.2 Compatibility Shells, fittings, and pipework shall be constructed from materials which are: a) substantially immune to attack by the substance(s) intended to be transported; or b) properly passivated or neutralised by chemical reaction; or c) lined with corrosion-resistant material directly bonded to the shell or attached by equivalent means. They shall comply with RID/ADR 6.8.2 RID/ADR 6.7.2.2 and 6.7.3.2 Gaskets shall be made of materials not subject to attack by the substances intended to be transported. The materials of the tank, including any devices, gaskets, linings and accessories, shall not adversely affect the substances intended to be transported in the tank. Guidelines on material specifications in relation to the substances to be transported may be taken from Annex B of EN 12285-1:2003. 5 Design 5.1 General Tanks shall be designed to withstand without loss of contents the: 1) operating conditions including static and dynamic forces in normal conditions of carriage. In addition, the design of portable tanks shall account for the effects of fatigue, caused by repeated application of these loads through the expected life of the portable tank; 2) test conditions; 3) explosion pressure proof conditions (if required); under consideration of Clause 6. If sudden temperature differences are to be expected during filling or discharge of the tank the buckling effect of one sided expansion or contraction should be taken into account. 5.2 Minimum shell thickness The shell thickness shall not be less than that given in: RID/ADR 6.8.2.1.17 to 6.8.2.1.18, see Figure 1 of this standard RID/ADR 6.7.2.4 or 6.7.3.4, see Figure 2 of this standard SIST EN 14025:2013



EN 14025:2013 (E) 10 5.3 Reduction of shell thickness The reduction of the minimum shell thickness (see Figure 1) is allowed if protection of the shell against damage through lateral impact or overturning is provided (see 5.4 and RID/ADR 6.8.2.1.19 to 6.8.2.1.20 and 6.8.2.1.21 respectively) but the minimum requirements given in RID/ADR 6.8.2.1.17 shall be met. For shells of rail tank wagons no reduction of the minimum wall thickness due to protection is allowed. When additional protection against shell damage is provided as described in 5.4, portable tanks with test pressure less than 2,65 bar may have the minimum shell thickness reduced, in proportion to the protection provided (see RID/ADR 6.7.2.4.3 to 6.7.2.4.5). 5.4 Protection of the shell 5.4.1 When required by 5.3 shells of: tank containers portable tanks are protected against damage if one of the following measures is provided:  structure, in which the shell is supported by a complete skeleton including longitudinal and transverse structural members. This structure shall conform to the requirements of ISO 1496-3;  double wall construction, where the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the shell itself is not less than the minimum shell thickness prescribed in:  RID/ADR 6.8.2.1.18 and the thickness of the inner shell wall is not less than the minimum shell thickness prescribed in 6.8.2.1.19;  RID/ADR 6.7.2.4.1 and 6.7.2.4.2 and the thickness of the inner shell wall is not less than the minimum shell thickness prescribed in 6.7.2.4.3 and 6.7.2.4.4;  "sandwich" construction, which means shells made with double walls having an intermediate layer of rigid solid materials (e.g. foam, at least 50 mm thick), where the outer wall has a thickness of at least 0,5 mm of steel, 0,8 mm of aluminium or 2 mm of a plastics material reinforced with glass fibre. For other layer materials (e.g. mineral wool, at least 100 mm thick), the outer wall has a thickness of at least 0,8 mm of austenitic steel. Other combinations of materials used to provide protection against damage shall be shown to have equivalent strength. One method of comparing the strength of sheets of materials is given in Annex B of EN 13094:2008. 5.4.2 For shells of road tank vehicles see also 6.9.2 of EN 13094:2008.
5.5 Protection of equipment Items of equipment shall be protected against the risk of being wrenched off or damaged during transport or handling. For tanks other than rail tank wagons equipment shall be protected by strengthening rings, protective canopies or transverse or longitudinal members. This protection of equipment shall comply with 6.14
