Ship and marine technology - Technical requirements for dry-disconnect/connect couplings for bunkering liquefied natural gas (ISO 21593:2019)

This technical standard specifies the design, minimum safety, functional and marking requirements, as well as the interface types and dimensions and testing procedures for dry-disconnect/connect couplings for LNG hose bunkering systems intended for use on LNG bunkering ships, tank trucks and shore-based facilities and other bunkering infrastructures. It is not applicable to hydraulically operated quick connect/disconnect couplers (QCDC) used for hard loading arms, which is covered in ISO 16904. Based on the technology used in industrial manufacturing at the time of development of this document, it is applicable to sizes of couplings ranging from DN 25 to DN 200.

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen für Konstruktion, minimale Sicherheit, für Funktion und Kennzeichnung, sowie Schnittstellentypen und Maße und Prüfverfahren für LNG Trockenkupplungen fest, die LNG Schlauchbunkersystemen dienen und für LNG Bunkerschiffe, Tanklastwagen und land-basierte Anlagen und andere Bunkerinfrastrukturen bestimmt sind. Es ist nicht anwendbar auf hydraulisch betätigte Schnellkupplungen (QCDC, en: Quick Connect/Disconnect Coupler), die für feste Verladearme Verwendung finden und in ISO 16904 abgedeckt sind.
Basierend auf der Technologie, die zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung dieses Dokuments in der industriellen Fertigung verwendet wurde, ist es für Kupplungsgrößen von DN 25 bis DN 200 anwendbar.

4 General requirements
4.1 General

The dry-disconnect/connect coupling shall be functionally compatible with the LNG bunkering system;

the nozzle shall be functionally compatible with the corresponding receptacles, and vice versa.

4.2 Basic design principle

4.2.1 The coupling consists of a nozzle and a receptacle. The nozzle allows a quick connection and

disconnection of the LNG bunkering system to the receptacle.

4.2.2 The poppet faces of the internal valve from the nozzle interacts and pushes the receptacle poppet

toward the open position in order to allow a medium flow.

4.2.3 The nozzle and receptacle shall remain in the final position when the coupling is connected and

is in fully open condition.

4.2.4 The typical structure of the two-part coupling is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2:

4.2.5 The dry disconnect/connect coupling shall be designed according to a design standard for

pressure-containing equipment. Accepted design codes are:
— ASTM Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code;
— European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU;
— EN 12516 Industrial Valves – Shell design strength;

— ISO 16904:2016, 7.2 Design of QCDC; Section 7.3 QCDC system; 9.3.8 QCDC (Testing requirements).

Other design codes can be accepted if they provide the same level of safety with respect to pressure

containment.

The wall thickness of the coupling shall take into account, as a minimum but not limited to, the internal

pressure, the external loads and the moments.
4.2.6 The receptacle shall always be equipped with a seal, as shown in Figure 3.
4.3 Design parameters

The design pressure and temperature of the dry-disconnect/connect coupling shall comply with:

a) Minimum design pressure:
1,6 MPa.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 21593:2020
ISO 21593:2019(E)
b) Design temperature:
−196 °C to + 85 °C.
4.4 Functional requirements

4.4.1 An interlock function shall be included to ensure the coupling is sealed first under connection,

before the internal valves are opened. When disconnecting, the internal valves shall be closed first, before

it is possible to disconnect the coupling. This may be achieved by an internal interlock device (two-step

action) or sequential in one single rotating manoeuvre (single-step action).

4.4.2 The volume between the two internal valves shall be as small as practical and reported by the

manufacturer.

4.4.3 Once connected, the coupling shall remain liquid and gas tight under all operating conditions,

and shall sustain:

1. The external loads applied at the connection between the bunkering system and the ship’s manifold

(dynamic and static as well as ice accretion).

2. The internal loads due to the LNG transfer process, either pressure or thermal loads during

transient and permanent phases.
The bending loads shall comply with the value specified in Table 5.

4.4.4 It shall be possible to disconnect the nozzle from the receptacle under the maximum manifold

loads, including an ice build-up on the device with a thickness of:
1. for DN 25 to DN 80: 10 mm solid ice (d = 800 kg/m );
2. for DN 100 to DN 200: 25 mm solid ice (d = 800 kg/m ).

4.4.5 The design of the coupling shall allow the coupling to be manually connected and disconnected

unaided and the maximum force to (dis)connect the nozzle from the receptacle shall not exceed 350 N.

Where this force exceeds 350 N, actuation shall be pneumatically or hydraulically assisted.

The nozzle shall be so designed as to be operated without the use of tools (e.g. extension bars) and

excessive force for connecting and disconnecting.

4.4.6 The operation direction to open and close shall be indicated with an indelible mark. Connected

condition shall be made with a positive indication that the mechanism action is fully made.

4.4.7 The design of the nozzle and receptacle shall allow for the removal of liquid and vapour before

disconnection, avoiding vapour and liquid trapped in the dead space during purging operation.

4.4.8 The nozzle shall have an integrated swivel function. It shall allow free rotation, to prevent the

application of torsional loads on the bunkering system.

4.4.9 The coupling shall have suitable fire resistance properties and shall be fire type tested in

accordance with recognized standards (e.g. ISO 10497).
4.4.10 The coupling shall be made of conductive, non-sparking material.
4.5 Internal valve

The backwards force of the receptacle poppet in fully open position shall be maximum of 460 N.

SIST EN ISO 21593:2020
ISO 21593:2019(E)
4.6 Protective cap/plug

A cap/plug or equivalent design feature shall be provided to prevent dust, moisture, and other foreign

debris from entering the nozzle and receptacle. The cap/plug shall not allow the build-up of pressure

between the receptacle and the cap as well as between the nozzle and the plug.
4.7 Handle

A handle is to be fitted to the nozzle to protect the operator from cold injuries.

5 Materials
5.1 General

The material shall be suitable for the use with LNG and for the test conditions with liquid nitrogen

down to −196 °C. Recommendations are mentioned in ISO 16903:2015, Table 3.
5.2 Body of coupling

5.2.1 The coupling shall be made from forged stainless steel ASTM A182 grade F316 or equivalent, in

the solution heat-treated condition.

5.2.2 The coupling may be manufactured from bar material according to ASTM A479, EN 10272 or

equivalent, in a solution heat-treated condition.
5.3 Bolting
Bolting shall be in accordance with ASME/ANSI B16.5 or EN 1092-1.
5.4 Spring

Any springs used within the receptacle or nozzle shall be suitable for the design pressure and

temperature specified in 4.3, and shall be suitable against fatigue for 10 000 cycles that is the same as

the endurance test of 8.16.
5.5 Seals

Seals shall be suitable for the design pressure and temperature specified in 4.3.

5.6 Welding

Welds to stainless steel grade 316 (L) shall be made using welding procedures qualified by impact testing

at –196 °C in accordance with the requirements of ASME B31.3-2018, 323.2.2 or ISO 3834 (all parts) or

equivalent. Material certificates of these welded fittings shall refer to these WPQs.

6 Interface types and dimensions

6.1 The end termination of the receptacle connecting to the manifold system shall be flanged in

accordance with 6.3.

6.2 The end termination of the nozzle connecting to the LNG hose bunkering system shall be flanged
