1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements for testing, drying, purging and cool-down of the refrigerated liquefied gas storage tanks. This European Standards deals with the design and manufacture of site built, vertical, cylindrical, flat-bottomed steel tanks for the storage of refrigerated, liquefied gases with operating temperatures between 0 °C and –165 °C. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14620-1:2006, Design and manufacture of site built, vertical, cylindrical, flat-bottomed steel tanks for the storage of refrigerated, liquefied gases with operating temperatures between 0°C and –165 °C — Part 1: General 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 14620-1:2006 apply. 4 Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing 4.1 Hydrostatic test 4.1.1 General A hydrostatic test shall be carried out. The hydrostatic test shall demonstrate that:  tank is designed and constructed to contain the product (no leakage); NOTE A leakage test is not applicable for membrane tanks. Instead an ‘ammonia test’ is carried out on the membrane after completion of welding. An ammonia sensitive paint is applied on the weld seam on the inside of the tank. Ammonia vapour is introduced in the insulation space and in case of a leak the ammonia will react with the paint resulting in a change of colour from yellow to blue. In order to calibrate the test, reference holes are made in the membrane so that proper performance of the inspection method is ensured. After closing of all leaks, another test is carried out. The paint on the inside of the tank is removed by ‘vacuum cleaning’. For reference, the NF A 09-107 note.  foundation is able to support the tank contents. 4.1.2 Test requirements for each type of tank For the various tank types, the hydrostatic test shall be carried out in accordance with Table 1. The contractor shall prepare a specification with all the actions to be taken. The test results shall be documented.

In the case of a membrane tank, the membrane can’t be hydrostatically tested. To ensure that the foundation is able to support the tank contents and the tank integrity is ensured, the concrete outer tank shall be hydrostatically tested before the insulation and membrane are installed. NOTE 1
FH means Full height hydrostatic test;
PH means Partial height hydrostatic test. NOTE 2
Hydrostatic testing of the pre-stressed concrete outer tank is not required, see prEN 14620-3:2005, A.2.

4.1.3 Additional requirements The following additional requirements shall apply:  for a full height hydrostatic test, the inner tank shall be filled to the maximum design liquid level. The same quantity of water shall be used for testing of the outer tank;  for a partial height hydrostatic test of the inner tank, the test level shall be equal to 1,25 times the height of the maximum design liquid level multiplied by the density of the specified product to be stored. The same quantity of water contained shall be used for testing of the outer tank;  when outer tanks are hydrostatically tested, a suitable water barrier shall be provided to prevent that test water ingress in to the bottom insulation;  care shall be taken during filling of the annular space that water levels are controlled and regulated to prevent differential levels between the inner and annular spaces;  hydrostatic test shall not be carried out until all welded accessories to the shell and the bottom of the tank are in place. Welding shall not be allowed after completion of the hydrostatic test;  for tanks which are to be insulated with perlite powder, the hydrostatic test shall be carried out before installation of the perlite powder;  test level of a membrane tank shall be based on the partial hydrostatic test requirement indicated above;  contractor shall ensure that the quality of the water is such that no damage to the steel/concrete can occur. 4.1.4 Quality of the water The suitability of the water for hydrostatic testing shall be demonstrated. Special attention shall be paid to possible corrosion. The following types of corrosion shall be considered:  general corrosion;  galvanic corrosion NOTE 1 galvanic corrosion (fresh and seawater) is an electrochemical form of corrosion that can occur when a metal or alloy is electrically connected to another metal or alloy with a different electrochemical potential. Both metals should be exposed to a common electrolyte and electrical path. Welding of metals can lead to dissimilar metal compositions between the weld, Heat
