EN 14570:2005 (E) 6 4 Tank equipment 4.1 General The supplier of the equipped tank or the tank user/owner shall have a written procedure covering all aspects of the selection and assembling of the equipment and for testing of the equipped tank. Tank connections, that are not in use or piped up during normal operation, shall be plugged or blanked off. A valve may be fitted between the connection and the plug or blind flange. Except for PRVs and level gauges, all operating valves shall be protected from unauthorized operations. This can be achieved by enclosure within a lockable valve cover, secure compound or other suitable means. In the case of underground/mounded tanks, when valves are below the ground/backfill level, the valves shall be enclosed in a suitable access chamber. 4.2 Selection of tank equipment The selection of tank equipment is related to the size of the tank and / or the complexity of the operation, and shall match the level of safety required. Tank equipment shall be rated for the maximum allowable pressure of the tank (PS). Tank equipment shall be selected to meet the design conditions of the tank and shall be in accordance with
EN 13175 (or EN 13153 for manual shut-off valves up to DN 25), EN 13799, EN 14071 and EN 14129, as appropriate. Normal service connections, where the passageway diameter into the tank is greater than 1,5 mm and up to 3 mm for liquid and 8 mm for vapour, shall be equipped with a shut-off valve. Normal service connections, where the passageway diameter into the tank is greater than 3 mm for liquid and
8 mm for vapour, shall be equipped with at least one of the following: a remotely operated fail-safe shut-off valve; an excess flow valve plus manual shut-off valve; a non-return valve plus manual shut-off valve. Where two valves are fitted, they shall be located as close as practicable to each other. These requirements shall not apply to: PRV’s; filler connections including a double non-return valve; occasional withdrawal valves which include an integral excess flow/non-return valve; and level gauges. Where valve actuators are fitted, they shall be sized to operate the valve at the maximum pressure likely to be seen in service. Remotely operated failsafe shut-off valves shall be fire safe in accordance with EN ISO 10497 and shall close in a controlled manner so as to avoid excessive pressure surge in the piping system, unless provision is made to protect the pipe-work in such a situation.

EN 14570:2005 (E) 7 4.3 Screwed joints Screwed joints shall only be used for joint sizes of DN 50 or less. However, larger screwed joints are permissible for proprietary items such as relief valves. Where the thread provides the seal, tapered threads shall be used. 4.4 Seals and gaskets Seals and gaskets shall be selected taking account of the maximum allowable pressure of the tank (PS). Gaskets shall be selected to match the size and design of the flanges and be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and recommendations. PTFE tape shall comply with EN 751-3:1996 Class G. Thread sealing compounds shall be non-hardening types complying with EN 751-2:1996 Class C. 5 Operational functions 5.1 General Tanks shall be equipped to provide the operational functions detailed as "Mandatory" in Table 1.

EN 14570:2005 (E) 8 5.2 Pressure relief 5.2.1 General The tank shall be protected by a PRV(s) in accordance with Annex B. Underground/mounded tanks may be exempted from the requirements on a PRV or a thermal expansion valve, if the tank is protected from over pressure during operation by alternative means. This shall be clearly indicated in the manufacturer's operating/installation instructions. An example of appropriate alternative means is given in Annex A. PRVs shall be connected to the vapour phase of the tank. If the PRV or thermal expansion valve is located inside the valve cover, the cover shall be provided with a sufficient sized hole so as to allow free discharge. PRVs shall be fitted with rain protective devices that will not obstruct the free discharge of gas. 5.2.2 Isolating devices and manifolds 5.2.2.1 Shut-off valves shall not be fitted between a PRV and the tank. However, a suitable isolating device may be used to facilitate the exchange of the PRV, provided this device is retained in the fully open position by the presence of the relief valve and closes before the relief valve is completely removed (see EN 14071). 5.2.2.2 Any manifold for PRVs shall be in accor
