Overfill prevention devices for static tanks for liquid petroleum fuels

This standard specifies the minimum performance and construction requirements for various types of overfill prevention devices which are limited to static tanks of shop fabricated manufacture both metallic and non metallic. It covers devices for underground tanks and also above ground tanks with a maximum height of 5 m.
To cover the different types of overfill prevention devices, two types have been developed:
   Type A: An overfill prevention device where the operation does not depend on the road tank vehicle or supply system;
   Type B: An overfill prevention device where the operation depends on the road tank vehicle or the supply system.
This standard applies to overfill prevention devices for liquid petroleum fuels, having a flash point up to but not exceeding 100 °C. The requirements apply to overfill prevention devices suitable for use at ambient temperatures in the range from –25 °C to +60 °C, and subject to normal operational pressure variations.
Additional measures may be required for use at temperatures outside this range and are the subject of negotiation between the manufacturer and its client.

Überfüllsicherungen für ortsfeste Tanks für flüssige Brenn- und Kraftstoffe

Diese Norm legt die Mindestleistungsanforderungen an unterschiedliche Bauarten von Überfüllsicherungen fest, deren Einsatz auf metallische oder nichtmetallische ortsfeste werksgefertigte Tanks begrenzt ist. Es werden Einrichtungen für unterirdische Tanks und auch für oberirdische Tanks mit einer Maximalhöhe von 5 m behandelt.
Für die Beschreibung der unterschiedlichen Bauarten von Überfüllsicherungen wurden zwei Typen gebildet:
   Typ A: Überfüllsicherung, deren Funktion nicht von einem Versorgungsfahrzeug oder Versorgungssystem abhängig ist;
   Typ B: Überfüllsicherung, deren Funktion von einem Versorgungsfahrzeug oder Versorgungssystem abhängig ist.
Diese Norm gilt für Überfüllsicherungen in Tanks für Brenn- und Kraftstoffe, die einen Flammpunkt  100 °C haben. Die Anforderungen gelten für Überfüllsicherungen, die bei Umgebungstemperaturen im Bereich von  25 C bis +60 C eingesetzt werden können und nur betriebsbedingten Druckschwankungen ausgesetzt sind.
Zusätzliche Maßnahmen können für den Einsatz bei Temperaturen außerhalb dieses Bereichs verlangt werden und sind Gegenstand von Verhandlungen zwischen dem Hersteller und seinem Kunden.

Dispositifs limiteurs de remplissage pour réservoirs statiques pour carburants pétroliers liquides

La présente Norme spécifie les prescriptions minimales de performance et de construction applicables à
différents types de dispositifs limiteurs de remplissage utilisés uniquement avec des réservoirs statiques
métalliques ou non métalliques fabriqués en usine. Elle concerne également les dispositifs pour réservoirs
enterrés et aériens d'une hauteur maximale de 5 m.
Afin de couvrir les différents types de dispositifs limiteurs de remplissage, deux catégories ont été définies :
- Catégorie A : dispositif limiteur de remplissage dont le fonctionnement ne dépend pas du camion-citerne
ou du système d'alimentation ;
- Catégorie B : dispositif limiteur de remplissage dont le fonctionnement dépend du camion-citerne ou du
système d'alimentation.
La présente Norme s'applique aux dispositifs limiteurs de remplissage pour carburants pétroliers liquides
ayant un point d'éclair inférieur ou égal à 100 °C. Les prescriptions s'appliquent aux dispositifs limiteurs de
remplissage fonctionnant à des températures ambiantes comprises entre –25 °C et +60 °C et soumis à des
variations de la pression normale de fonctionnement.
Des mesures supplémentaires peuvent être requises pour un usage à des températures extérieures à cette
plage et font l'objet de négociations entre le fabricant et son client.
