General Information
Overview
EN 12573-2:2000 specifies rules for the design and calculation of welded static, non-pressurised, vertical cylindrical thermoplastic tanks with flat bottoms. It covers tanks fabricated from common thermoplastics - polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) - and provides engineers and manufacturers with a consistent framework for structural calculation and safe dimensioning. The standard explicitly excludes consideration of wind and snow loads; when those actions are relevant, additional calculations are required.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Vertical, flat-bottom, welded, static tanks made of PE, PP, PVC, PVDF; non-pressurised service.
- Design rules: Principles for wall and base thickness, joint/weld considerations, and material property use for thermoplastics in static storage applications.
- Structural calculation methods: Guidance for determining stresses, deformations and stability under hydrostatic loads and self-weight (note: wind/snow not included).

Die Norm SIST EN 12573-2:2000 bietet eine umfassende Grundlage für die Konstruktion und Berechnung von geschweißten statischen, vertikalen, nicht druckbeaufschlagten zylindrischen Flachtanks aus thermoplastischen Materialien. Der Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm ist klar definiert und umfasst Tanks, die aus Polyethylen (PE), Polypropylen (PP), Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) und Polyvinylidenfluorid (PVDF) gefertigt sind. Ein zentraler Vorteil dieser Norm ist die detaillierte Anleitung zur Berechnung der strukturellen Integrität und zur Gewährleistung der Sicherheit von thermoplastischen Tanks, was für Hersteller und Bauingenieure von großer Bedeutung ist. Die Regeln unterstützen die Einhaltung von industriellen Standards und Vorschriften, wodurch die Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit der Tanks erhöht wird. Die Norm berücksichtigt jedoch nicht die Einflüsse von Wind- und Schneelast, was bedeutet, dass in solchen Fällen zusätzliche Berechnungen erforderlich sind. Dies könnte potenzielle Herausforderungen für Projekte darstellen, die in windigen oder schneereichen Regionen umgesetzt werden. Dennoch bleibt die SIST EN 12573-2:2000 relevant für die Einschätzung der strukturellen Leistung von Tanks in typischen Einsatzbereichen ohne solche externen Belastungen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die SIST EN 12573-2:2000 ein wertvolles Werkzeug für die Planung und Berechnung von thermoplastischen Tanks darstellt und sich besonders an die Bedürfnisse der Industrie anpasst, die sich mit der Herstellung und Nutzung von nicht druckbeaufschlagten Zylindertanks auseinandersetzt.
The standard SIST EN 12573-2:2000 presents a comprehensive framework for the design and calculation of welded static non-pressurised thermoplastic tanks, specifically vertical cylindrical tanks with flat bottoms. The scope of this standard is essential for engineers and manufacturers involved in the construction of tanks made from thermoplastics such as Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC), and Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). One of the significant strengths of this standard is its clear delineation of the parameters necessary for the effective design and calculation of these tanks, ensuring that they meet safety and operational criteria. The focus on vertical cylindrical designs addresses a common configuration in various industrial applications, augmenting the relevance of the standard within sectors that utilize thermoplastic storage solutions. Additionally, the standard provides guidelines tailored for specific materials, thereby enhancing specificity and applicability. By detailing acceptable thermoplastics, the standard empowers manufacturers to choose appropriate materials based on their properties, thereby aligning construction practices with the unique requirements of their intended use. However, it is important to note that while the standard effectively outlines the structural aspects, it explicitly states that it does not consider factors such as wind or snow loading. This limitation necessitates that users seek additional calculations if external environmental forces must be accounted for in the design process. Hence, while the standard is robust in its coverage of tank design and construction, users must be aware of the additional requirements that may arise based on specific site conditions. Overall, SIST EN 12573-2:2000 holds significant relevance in the context of thermoplastic tank design, providing a structured approach that supports both regulatory compliance and practical safety in the manufacturing of welded static non-pressurised vertical cylindrical tanks.
La norme SIST EN 12573-2:2000 établit des règles précises pour la conception et le calcul des cuves thermoplastiques cylindriques, statiques, verticales et non pressurisées, dont le fond est plat. Elle s'applique à des réservoirs fabriqués à partir de divers thermoplastiques tels que le polyéthylène (PE), le polypropylène (PP), le chlorure de polyvinyle (PVC), et le fluorure de polyvinylidène (PVDF). L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans sa clarté et sa spécificité. En fournissant des directives détaillées, elle permet aux ingénieurs et concepteurs de s'assurer que les cuves respectent les exigences de sécurité essentielles tout en optimisant leur conception. De plus, sa portée est extrêmement pertinente dans les industries où le stockage de liquides est crucial, garantissant ainsi la conformité des réservoirs à des critères standardisés. Cependant, il est important de noter que la norme ne prend pas en compte les charges dues au vent et à la neige. Cette omission invite à une prudence supplémentaire lors de la conception et à des calculs additionnels si ces facteurs environnementaux doivent être intégrés. Cela accentue l'importance d'une évaluation minutieuse des conditions d'installation, renforçant ainsi la pertinence de cette norme dans une approche globale de sécurité et d’efficacité. En résumé, la SIST EN 12573-2:2000 offre une base solide pour la conception de cuves thermoplastiques, tout en soulignant la nécessité d'une évaluation complémentaire dans certaines situations. Cette norme est donc une référence indispensable pour les professionnels souhaitant garantir la fiabilité et la sécurité de leurs cuves.
