Workshop fabricated steel tanks - Part 1: Horizontal cylindrical single skin and double skin tanks for the underground storage of flammable and non-flammable water polluting liquids

The Standard specifies the requirements for shop fabricated cylindrical, horizontal tanks, single and double skin for underground storage of water polluting liquids (both flammable and non-flammable). The standard is applicable for normal operating conditions (-20°C to +50°C). Where temperatures can fall below this range, additional requirements shall be taken into account. Quittance on liquid material combinations is given in annex B. The standard is not applicable for liquids causing special danger. The standard does not deal with internal coating.

Diese Norm enthält Anforderungen an werksgefertigte zylindrische, liegende, ein- und doppelwandige Stahltanks zur unterirdischen Lagerung von (brennbaren und nicht brennbaren) wassergefährdenden Flüssigkeiten mit folgenden Anwendungsgrenzen:
   Nenndurchmesser von 800 mm bis 3 000 mm und
   maximale Gesamtlänge bis zum 6fachen des Nenndurchmessers und
   für Flüssigkeiten mit einer maximalen Dichte von 1,9 kg/l und
   mit einem Betriebsdruck (po) von maximal 1,5 bar (abs.) und
   für doppelwandige Tanks mit einem Vakuum-Leckanzeigesystem, wenn die kinematische Viskosität des Lagermediums den Wert 5 × 10-3 m2/s nicht übersteigt.
Diese Norm gilt für übliche Betriebstemperaturen (- 20  C bis + 50  C). Für Temperaturen außerhalb dieses Bereiches müssen zusätzliche Anforderungen berücksichtigt werden.
Hinweise auf Flüssigkeits-Werkstoff-Kombinationen siehe Anhang B.
Diese Norm gilt wegen der von ihnen ausgehenden besonderen Gefahren nicht für die in Tabelle 1 aufgeführten Gefahrgutklassen. Diese Norm gilt auch nicht für Innenbeschichtungen.
Die erwähnten Klassifizierungen entsprechen den durch den Fachausschuss der Vereinten Nationen über den Transport gefährlicher Güter verabschiedeten Klassen (nicht zu verwechseln mit den Tankklassen nach 3.4).
