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

forming.

EN 13445-2 and EN 13445-8 apply, whilst the minimum material requirements given in RID/ADR,

Chapter 6.8 and Chapter 6.7, are fulfilled.

Material characteristics shall be certified or attested as defined in Clause 7.1.3 even in temperature where

needed. This includes the usage of 15 % increased strength values when using austenitic steels.

Aluminium may only be used for the shells of
portable tanks when indicated in a portable tank
special provision assigned to a specific substance
in RID/ADR, Chapter 3.2, Table A, Column 11 or
when approved by the competent authority.
NOTE For aluminium and aluminium alloys, see also EN 14286.

RID/ADR restrict the use of materials with respect to the maximum yield and tensile strength of fine-

grained steel for welded shells, maximum ratios of yield/tensile strength for welded steel shells and of

the minimum elongation at fracture for welded fine- grained other steel and aluminium shells. Welded

shells shall be fabricated from a material which has been shown to have acceptable welding

characteristics.

prEN 14025:2022 (E)
4.2 Compatibility

Shells, fittings, equipment and pipework which are in contact with the substance(s) intended to be carried

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 neutralized by chemical reaction; or

c) lined with corrosion-resistant material directly bonded to the shell or attached by equivalent means.

For further information on material properties see
RID/ADR, Subsection 6.8.2.1.9 RID/ADR, Subsections 6.7.2.2 and 6.7.3.2

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

EN 12285-1:2003, Annex B.
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. In

addition, the design of portable tanks shall account for the effects of fatigue, caused by repeated

application of these loads through the expected life of the portable tank;
2) test conditions;
3) explosion-pressure-shock resistant condition (if required) (see Annex B);
under consideration of Clause 6.

If sudden temperature differences are to be expected during filling or discharge of the tank the buckling

effect of one sided expansion or contraction should be taken into account.
5.2 Minimum shell thickness
The shell thickness will not be less than that given in:

RID/ADR, Subsections 6.8.2.1.17 to 6.8.2.1.18, RID/ADR, Subsections 6.7.2.4 or 6.7.3.4,

5.3 Reduction of shell thickness

The reduction of the minimum shell thickness When additional protection against shell damage

(see Figure 1) is allowed if protection of the shell is provided as described in 5.4, portable tanks

against damage through lateral impact or with test pressure less than 2,65 bar may have the

overturning is provided (see 5.4 and RID/ADR, minimum shell thickness reduced, in proportion

Subsections 6.8.2.1.19 to 6.8.2.1.20 and 6.8.2.1.21 to the protection provided (see RID/ADR,

respectively) whilst the minimum requirements Subsections 6.7.2.4.3 to 6.7.2.4.5).

given in RID/ADR, Subsection 6.8.2.1.17 are met.
For shells of tanks according to RID no reduction
of the minimum wall thickness due to protection
is allowed.
5.4 Protection of the shell
5.4.1 When required by 5.3 shells of:
tank containers portable tanks
are protected against damage if one of the following measures is provided:

— 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 I
