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 shaping. EN 13445-2 applies,
but see also A.2.7.
Welded shells shall be fabricated from a material which has been shown to have acceptable welding characteristics.
4.2 Compatibility
Shells, fittings, and pipework shall be constructed from materials which are:
a) Substantially immune to attack by the substance(s) intended to be transported; or
b) Properly passivated or neutralised by chemical reaction; or
c) Lined with corrosion-resistant material directly bonded to the shell or attached by equivalent means.
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 annex A of
EN 12285-1 : 2003.
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;
2) Test conditions;
3) Explosion pressure proof conditions (if required).
under consideration of clause 6.
NOTE The requirements coming from the relevant regulations (i. e. RID and ADR) are given in annex A for information.

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
EN 14025:2003 (E)
5.2 Reduction of shell thickness
The minimum wall thickness of shells (see A.2.12) are allowed to be reduced by a maximum of 2 mm in the case of
mild steel or of an equivalent thickness of another metal, if protection of the shell against damage through lateral
impact or overturning is provided (see 5.3 and A.2.13).
For shells of rail tank wagons no reduction of the minimum wall thickness due to protection is allowed.
5.3 Protection of the shell
Shells of tank containers are protected against damage if one of the following measures is provided:
a structure, in which the shell is supported by a complete skeleton including longitudinal and transverse structural
members. This structure shall conform to the requirements of ISO 1496-3;
a double wall construction, where the aggregate thickness of the outer metal wall and the shell wall itself is not
less than the minimum wall thickness prescribed in A.2.12 for reduced wall thickness;
a "sandwich" construction, which means shells made with double walls having an intermediate layer of rigid solid
materials (e. g. foam, at least 50 mm thick), where the outer wall has a thickness of at least 0,5 mm of steel,
0,8 mm of aluminium or 2 mm of a plastics material reinforced with glass fibre. For other layer materials (e.g.
mineral wool, at least 100 mm thick), the outer wall has a thickness of at least 0,8 mm of austenitic steel. Other
combinations of materials used to provide protection against damage shall be shown to have equivalent strength
to the minimum thickness required in accordance with A.2.12. One method of comparing the strength of sheets of
materials is given in annex C of prEN 13094:2000.
For shells of road tankers see also 5.3.2 of prEN 13094:2000.

6.1 General
The calculation scheme given in Figure 1 shows how to determine the wall thickness of a shell to meet the

The conical section of the tank shell shall conform to the design limitations in 6.3.4.2. The wall thickness shall be
determined in accordance with 6.3.4.3. For more information compare also EN 13445-3.
6.3.4.2 Design limitations of the conical section
This clause gives rules for right circular cones and cone/cylinder intersections where the cone and the cylinder are of
the same axis of rotation. It applies only to cones with an apex angle not greater than 120 ° and cones for which

For offset cones between two cylinders the cylinders shall have parallel centrelines offset from each other by a
distance not greater than the difference of the radii. A required thickness shall be calculated in accordance with
6.3.4.3.3 for the junction at the large end and in accordance with 6.3.4.3.4 for the junction at the small end. Since the
thickness calculated above is the minimum allowable at that point along the case, it is permissible to build a cone from
plates of different thickness provided that at every point the minimum is achieved.
