Overview

SIST EN 14286:2008 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the technical requirements for weldable rolled aluminium and aluminium alloy products intended for use in tanks designed for storage and transportation of dangerous goods such as gasoline and other liquid hydrocarbons. This standard applies to hot or cold-rolled strips, sheets, and plates with thicknesses between 3.0 mm and 12.0 mm, used as wall materials for tanks.

The standard covers essential aspects including inspection protocols, delivery conditions, mechanical properties, dimensional and form tolerances, surface conditions, and quality assurance methods. Importantly, while SIST EN 14286:2008 ensures specific product qualities, compliance with this standard alone does not guarantee adherence to all national or international safety regulations related to the storage and transport of hazardous goods.

Key Topics

• Material Selection:
  The standard recommends suitable aluminium alloys primarily from series 1xxx, 2xxx, 5xxx, and 6xxx, highlighting alloys such as EN AW-5059, EN AW-5083, EN AW-5182, and EN AW-5754. These alloys are selected for their weldability, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance needed for safe containment of dangerous goods.

• Mechanical Properties:
  EN 14286 specifies stringent mechanical requirements including tensile strength, 0.2% proof strength, elongation after fracture, and bending radius. These properties ensure structural integrity under operational stresses and enable calculation of appropriate tank wall thickness.

• Inspection and Testing:
  The standard mandates a series of inspections such as chemical composition analysis, tensile testing, surface visual inspection, dimensional checks, and corrosion resistance tests (e.g., exfoliation and intergranular corrosion tests per ASTM G66 and G67 for certain alloys). This ensures product reliability and conformity to technical requirements.

• Dimensional Tolerances and Surface Condition:
  Strict tolerance limits on thickness and form are applied to ensure homogeneity and uniform strength of tank walls. The actual thickness must meet or exceed nominal values with no minus-tolerances allowed. Surface conditions are controlled to mitigate defects impacting weldability and corrosion resistance.

• Ordering and Documentation:
  EN 14286 advises clear documentation of product specifications during ordering, including references to the standard, desired tolerances, mechanical properties, and inspection documents as per EN 10204.

Applications

SIST EN 14286:2008 is critical for manufacturers, suppliers, and designers involved in:

• Fuel Storage Tanks:
  Aluminium tanks used for storage and transport of gasoline and liquid hydrocarbons require materials that meet this standard to ensure safety, durability, and regulatory compliance.

• Chemical and Hazardous Material Containers:
  Tanks for storing or transporting halogenated hydrocarbons, phenols, alcohols, ketones, and similar substances benefit from aluminium products conforming to EN 14286 due to their corrosion resistance and mechanical performance.

• Transportation Industry:
  Aluminium tankers and containers on trucks, railcars, and ships transporting dangerous goods rely on products adhering to EN 14286 to maintain safety standards during handling and transit.

• Engineering and Design:
  Engineers specifying tank materials use the standard’s mechanical property requirements and tolerances to design structures compliant with applicable safety regulations for dangerous goods packaging.

Related Standards

SIST EN 14286:2008 references and aligns with several key European and international standards, including:

• EN 485 Series:
  Covering aluminium sheet, strip, and plate technical delivery conditions and tolerances (EN 485-1, EN 485-3, EN 485-4).

• EN 515:
  Governing temper designations of wrought aluminium products.

• EN 573-3:
  Detailing chemical composition and form of aluminium alloys.

• EN 10002-1:
  Specifying tensile testing methods at ambient temperature.

• EN 10204:
  Defining types of inspection documents to ensure traceability and conformity.

• EN ISO 7438:
  Standardizing metallic material bend test procedures.

• ASTM G66 and G67:
  Methods for assessing exfoliation and intergranular corrosion susceptibility of 5xxx series aluminium alloys.

Conclusion

SIST EN 14286:2008 provides a comprehensive framework for ensuring the quality and suitability of aluminium rolled products used in tanks for hazardous material storage and transport. By formalizing mechanical properties, inspection criteria, and tolerances, it helps manufacturers deliver safe and reliable materials tailored for demanding industrial applications involving dangerous goods. Users and specifiers of aluminium tank materials are encouraged to incorporate this standard into their quality assurance processes, while also verifying compliance with additional regulatory requirements applicable in their jurisdictions.
