Ifthe materials used for shell and ends are different, the calculation shall be carried out for each component usingthe appropriate properties.5.3.2When the thickness of a drum has to be increased in accordance with 5.3.1, the test pressure mayoptionally be increased to take account of this increased thickness, provided the other parts of the drum conform tothe design requirements of the higher test pressure.5.4 Fittings5.4.1 GeneralFittings (valves for filling, emptying, pressure relief, level devices etc.) shall be attached as defined below. Whilethere is no restriction on the number of apertures, their number shall be kept to the minimum.NOTEIt is recommended that no more than two apertures per end should be used.Fittings shall be located only in the dished ends or spherical sections. They shall be attached to parts of thecontainer that are reinforced locally by a pad, or to a flange or access plate bolted to a flange, except when thethickness of the shell is greater than 15 mm. Openings shall be compensated (see 5.4.6).5.4.2 Screwed fittings5.4.2.1Screwed fittings up to 80 mm thread diameter may be used. If a tapered thread is used, with sealing ofthe pressure on the threads, then a sealant, such as PTFE tape, PTFE spray, a lead ferrule or an aluminiumferrule, shall be inserted between the threaded components to effect a seal. If parallel threads are used, thetorques used for assembly shall be set both to ensure a seal on the gasket, and to prevent loosening in transit.5.4.2.2For standard valves with taper and parallel threads, EN 629-1 and EN ISO 11116-1 respectively definethe dimensions and mode of connection.NOTEEN 629-2 and EN ISO 11116-2 respectively define the methods of controlling the thread gauges.5.4.3 Bolted connectionsBolted connections shall be made with at least three bolts or studs. Studs shall be threaded to their ends, so thatthey lock upon insertion. Joining surfaces shall be flat and true, in accordance with the flatness, parallelism andperpendicularity tolerances specified on the design drawings (e.g. to EN ISO 1392), and if necessary shall bemachined after heat treatment if they have become distorted.5.4.4 Protection of fittings5.4.4.1 GeneralDrums shall be such that all fittings are situated inside the contour of the end shrouds or support structure, or theend of the drum in the case of those with dished ends convex to pressure.5.4.4.2 End shroudsEnd shrouds shall have minimum thickness of 10 mm, or 7 mm if fitted with a reinforcing ring. They shall beattached to the drum by welding for at least 50 % of their circumference. Shrouds shall have holes or cutaways, toallow for drainage.SIST EN 14208:2004

Bottomoutlets and their external pipework shall be protected from impact by a steel structural member of second momentof area not less than 3,5 ´ 106 mm4.5.4.5 Local protection5.4.5.1In addition to the general protection specified in 5.4.4, fittings shall be provided with local protection.5.4.5.2Where the gas is toxic, the valves shall be covered by metal domes or individual caps, of thickness notless than (Dd/15)0,5 where Dd is the diameter of the dome in mm, but in any case not less than 2,5 mm. A domeshall be capable of being hinged or moved to allow access for filling or emptying, and secured for transport.
Thereshall also be a facility within the dome to allow venting of any gas within, in case of leakage.5.4.5.3Where the gas carried is not toxic, the local protection may take the form of a fixed steel cage mountedlocal to the fittings. The cage shall allow access to the valves and fittings. In the case of a container that isdesigned to remain vertical, additional protection is not required where the clearance between the fittings and theedge of the shroud or frame is at least 100 mm.5.4.5.4Blank plugs, fusible plugs and pressure relief valves do not require additional local protection providedthat they are mounted at a diameter at least 75 % of that of the shroud, and are of low profile protruding not morethan 30 mm from the surface of the drum.5.4.6 Compensation of openings5.4.6.1Openings shall have their largest dimension N less than 0,5 Do. (See Figure 3).5.4.6.2The total cross-sectional area to be compensated, B, required in any given plane shall not be less thanB = N x S where S is the thickness of an un-pierced dished end or spherical section calculated from the formulae in5.2.2 or 5.2.3.The area of compensation in the parts available for replacement shall be not less than B (see Figure 3). Incalculating this area, only material up to a distance P from the actual surface of the shell may be considered, whereP = (N.te)0,5 .Where the pad is made from a material strength different from the part to be compensated, the area available to beconsidered as compensation shall be multiplied by the ratio of the allowable stresses (fp/fs or fp/fe) as appropriate.5.4.6.3S shall not be less than b1 or s1, except that:a) when the opening and its compensation are located entirely within the spherical portion of a torisphericaldished end, then S shall not be less than the thickness required for a sphere equal to the spherical portion of adished end.b) when the opening and its compensation are located in an ellipsoidal end and are entirely within a circle havingthe radius measured from the centre of 0,40Do, S is the thickness required for a sphere having the equivalentradius Q taken from Table 1.

The configuration of thesepockets/structure shall protect the drum from being impacted during normal handling.
The fork apertures shall bepositioned symmetrically about the centre of gravity and their size shall be appropriate to the forks which are to beused to move the drum. The fork apertures shall be designed such that the drum cannot accidentally disengagefrom the forks.6.1.2If lifting lugs are fitted, they shall be designed to withstand a design load of 2 x maximum gross weight.Drums with more than one lifting eye shall be designed such that a minimum sling leg angle of 45° to the horizontalcan be achieved during lifting using the lifting eyes.Where four lifting eyes are used their design shall be such that they are strong enough to allow the drum to be liftedby only two.
Where two or four lifting eyes are used, diametrically opposite lifting eyes shall be aligned with eachother to allow for correct lifting using shackle pins.6.2 Horizontal drumsWhen drums are designed to be carried in the horizontal position, the edge of the shrouds shall be reinforced.
