Scope

This document specifies requirements for the design and construction of metallic gravity-discharge tanks intended for the carriage of substances having a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa (1,1 bar) (absolute pressure) at 50 °C.

NOTE 1 Gravity-discharge tanks have no maximum working pressure. However, during operation, pressure in the shell may occur, for example due to flow restrictions in vapour recovery systems or opening pressures of breather devices. It is important that these operating pressures do not exceed the test pressure of the tank or 0,5 bar, whichever is the highest. This document specifies requirements for openings, closures, pipework, mountings for service equipment and structural equipment.

NOTE 2 This document does not specify requirements for items of service equipment other than pipes passing through the shell. This document is applicable to aircraft refuelers that are used on public roads. It is also applicable to inter-modal tanks (e.g. tank containers and tank swap bodies) for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail.

NOTE 3 This document is not applicable to fixed rail tank wagons.

Purpose

To address the technical comments from the National Members, and the discordances (and corrections not compliance related) from the Joint Meeting Standards Advisor, arising from the Formal Vote on EN 13094:2020, in accordance with the responses of the Convenor and the Secretariat of CEN/TC 296/WG2 as set out in the commenting table from the CCMC and the assessment from the Joint Meeting Standards Advisor both attached to this new work item proposal. If necessary, the amendment will respect the new drafting rules for standards candidates for referencing in RID/ADR.
