LPG Equipment and accessories - Pressure relief valves for LPG pressure vessels

This European Standard specifies the requirements for the design and testing of spring loaded pressure relief valves and thermal expansion valves for use in:
- static LPG pressure vessels,
NOTE   The pressure vessels can be situated above ground, underground or mounded.
- LPG pressure vessels on road tankers, rail tankers, tank-containers or demountable tanks.
This document does not address production testing.
Normative Annex B prescribes testing with conditioning at - 40 °C for valves for use under extreme low temperature conditions.
The requirements for pressure relief valve accessories such as isolating devices, changeover manifolds and vent pipes are specified in EN 14071.
EN 14570 identifies the requirements for the pressure relief valve capacities for static pressure vessels.
EN 12252 identifies the requirements for the pressure relief valve capacities for road tankers.
Valves designed in accordance with this standard are specifically for use in LPG applications. Valves manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 4126 1 may also be used in certain LPG applications.
Terms used with LPG pressure relief valves are described graphically in Annex A.

Introduction
This document calls for the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the
environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability: it does not
absolve the user from their legal obligations at any stage.
Protection of the environment is a key political issue in Europe and elsewhere. For CEN/TC 286 this is
covered in CEN/TS 16765 [1] and this Technical Specification should be read in conjunction with this
document. The Technical Specification provides guidance on the environmental aspects to be considered
regarding equipment and accessories produced for the LPG industry and the following is addressed:
a) design;
b) manufacture;
c) packaging;
d) use and operation; and
e) disposal.
Provisions have to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws.
It is recommended that manufacturers develop an environmental management policy. For guidance see
the EN ISO 14000 series [7], [8] and [9].
It has been assumed in the drafting of this document that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to
appropriately qualified and experienced people.
All pressures are gauge pressures unless otherwise stated.
Valves designed in accordance with this standard are specifically for use in LPG applications. Valves
manufactured in accordance EN ISO 4126-1 [4] may also be used in certain LPG applications.
NOTE This document requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such
measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment, etc. It may be
beneficial to refer to the leaflet “measurement uncertainty leaflet” SP INFO 2000 27 [12].
