SIST EN 13082:2009/kFprA1:2011

Tanks for transport of dangerous goods - Service equipment for tanks - Vapour transfer valve

This European Standard covers the vapour transfer valve, used for the transfer of vapour between the tank
compartment and the pipework connecting to the vapour collection adaptor.
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and the critical dimensions of the vapour
transfer valve. It also specifies the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the equipment with this
European Standard. The equipment specified by this standard is suitable for use with liquid petroleum
products and other dangerous substances of Class 3 of ADR [2] which have a vapour pressure not exceeding
110 kPa at 50 °C and petrol, and which have no sub-classification as toxic or corrosive.

Overview

SIST EN 13082:2009/kFprA1:2011 is a European standard developed by SIST that specifies requirements for vapour transfer valves used in tanks for the transport of dangerous goods. The scope includes the design, performance criteria, critical dimensions, and testing required for these valves, ensuring compatibility and safety during the transfer of vapour from the tank compartment to associated pipework and vapour collection adaptors. This standard is essential for industries handling liquid petroleum products and other substances classified under Class 3 of the ADR that have a vapour pressure up to 110 kPa at 50 °C, excluding those with toxic or corrosive sub-classifications.

Key Topics

• Performance requirements: The standard outlines how vapour transfer valves must operate effectively and reliably under defined conditions.
• Critical dimensions: It specifies the necessary dimensions to ensure proper fitting and integration with transport tanks and related equipment.
• Testing and verification: Detailed test procedures are mandated to verify compliance, including functional testing to ensure the valve operates as required.
• Safety features: Newly introduced is the requirement that the vapour transfer valve must be equipped with a means to indicate when it is open, enhancing operational safety and reducing risk during loading and unloading.
• Interoperability: By adhering to specified dimensions and performance guidelines, equipment compatibility is maintained across different manufacturers and logistical operations.

Applications

• Transport of dangerous goods: The vapour transfer valve is a critical component for tanks transporting flammable liquids such as petrol and other non-toxic, non-corrosive substances under Class 3 ADR specifications.
• Tank vehicle manufacturing: Companies producing road tank vehicles or rail tankers must comply with this standard to ensure their equipment meets European regulatory requirements.
• Maintenance and inspection: Operators and maintenance personnel use the guidance within this standard to assess and service vapour transfer valves, ensuring continued safety and legal compliance.
• Safety assurance: Implementation reduces environmental hazards and improves worker safety by facilitating secure vapour handling and control during the transfer process.

Related Standards

• EN 13082:2008: The base standard that defined initial requirements for vapour transfer valves; the 2011 amendment introduces key updates, such as indicating mechanisms for the valve’s operational status.
• ADR (European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road): Class 3 substances are directly referenced, specifying scope and substance compatibility.
• EN 12252: Covers other service equipment for tanks, often used in conjunction with vapour transfer valves.
• EN 14564: Defines terms related to tanks for dangerous goods transport and may provide complementary information for operators and technical staff.

SIST EN 13082:2009/kFprA1:2011 is a vital reference for tank and valve manufacturers, transporters of dangerous goods, and compliance officers working within the European regulatory framework. Following the standard supports best practices for safety, environmental protection, and operational integrity in hazardous materials logistics. For full compliance, ensure all tank equipment aligns with this and associated standards relevant to your application.
