Cisterne za prevoz nevarnega blaga - Kovinske tlačne posode - Konstruiranje in izdelava

Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve za konstruiranje in izdelavo kovinskih tlačnih posod z najvišjim delovnim ali preskusnim tlakom nad 50 kPa (0,5 bara) za prevoz nevarnega blaga po cesti, železnici in morju. Ta evropski standard zajema zahteve za odprtine, zaključke in strukturno opremo; ne vključuje zahtev za obratovalno opremo. Za posode za prevoz kriogenih tekočin se uporabljata standarda EN 13530-1 in EN 13530-2.
OPOMBA 1:   Za zasnovo in izdelavo tlačnih posod v skladu s področjem uporabe tega evropskega standarda se prvotno uporabljajo zahteve določb RID/ADR, točke 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 in 6.8.5, kot je ustrezno. Poleg tega veljajo ustrezne zahteve določb RID/ADR, stolpca 12 in 13 preglednice A za poglavja 3.2, 4.3 in 6.8.2.4. Za strukturno opremo se uporabljata pododdelka 6.8.2.2 in 6.8.3.2. Navedene so definicije določbe RID/ADR 1.2.1. Za prenosne posode glejte tudi poglavje 4.2, oddelka 6.7.2 in 6.7.3 določb RID in ADR. Poleg tega veljajo ustrezne zahteve določb RID/ADR, stolpca 10 in 11 preglednice A za poglavja 3.2, 4.2, 6.7.2 in 6.7.3. Zgornje številke odstavkov veljajo za izdajo RID/ADR iz leta 2013 in so predmet rednih revizij. To lahko povzroči začasno neskladnost s standardom EN 14025. Upoštevati je treba, da imajo zahteve RID/ADR prednost pred katero koli točko tega standarda.
OPOMBA 2:   Ta standard se uporablja za utekočinjene pline, vključno z utekočinjenim naftnim plinom (LPG), vendar za ustrezni standard za LPG glej EN 12493.
Če ni navedeno drugače, se določbe, ki so navedene na celotni širini strani, uporabljajo za vse vrste posod. Določbe v posameznih stolpcih se uporabljajo samo za:

4 Materials
4.1 General

The tank shell shall be fabricated from metallic materials which shall be resistant to brittle fracture and

of adequate impact strength within the design temperature range. The material shall be suitable for

forming.

EN 13445-2 and EN 13445-8 apply, whilst the minimum material requirements given in RID/ADR,

Chapter 6.8 and Chapter 6.7, are fulfilled.
Aluminium may only be used for the shells of
portable tanks when indicated in a portable tank
special provision assigned to a specific substance
in RID/ADR, Chapter 3.2, Table A, Column 11 or
when approved by the competent authority.
NOTE 1 For aluminium and aluminium alloys, see also EN 14286.

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, equipment and pipework which are in contact with the substance(s) intended to be

carried shall be constructed from materials which are:
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN 14025:2018
EN 14025:2018 (E)

a) substantially immune to attack by the substance(s) intended to be transported; or

b) properly passivated or neutralized by chemical reaction; or

c) lined with corrosion-resistant material directly bonded to the shell or attached by equivalent

means.
They comply with:
RID/ADR, Subsection 6.8.2.1.9 RID/ADR, Subsections 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

EN 12285-1:2003, Annex B.
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-shock resistant condition (if required) (see Annex B);
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 will not be less than that given in:

RID/ADR, Subsections 6.8.2.1.17 to 6.8.2.1.18, RID/ADR, Subsections 6.7.2.4 or 6.7.3.4,

see Figure 1 of this standard see Figure 2 of this standard
5.3 Reduction of shell thickness

The reduction of the minimum shell thickness When additional protection against shell damage

(see Figure 1) is allowed if protection of the shell is provided as described in 5.4, portable tanks

against damage through lateral impact or with test pressure less than 2,65 bar may have the

overturning is provided (see 5.4 and RID/ADR, minimum shell thickness reduced, in proportion to

Subsections 6.8.2.1.19 to 6.8.2.1.20 and 6.8.2.1.21 the protection provided (see RID/ADR,

respectively) whilst the minimum requirements Subsections 6.7.2.4.3 to 6.7.2.4.5).

given in RID/ADR, Subsection 6.8.2.1.17 are met.
