(Main + Amendment)LPG equipment and accessories - Welded steel pressure vessels for LPG road tankers - Design and manufacture
LPG equipment and accessories - Welded steel pressure vessels for LPG road tankers - Design and manufacture
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for materials, design, construction and workmanship procedures, and tests for welded LPG road tanker pressure vessels and their welded attachments manufactured from carbon, carbon/manganese and micro alloy steels.
There is no upper size limit as this is determined by the gross vehicle weight limitation.
This European Standard does not cover pressure vessels for pressure vessel containers.
NOTE 1 In the context of this standard the term "road tanker" is understood to mean fixed tanks and demountable tanks as defined in ADR.
NOTE 2 The equipment for the pressure vessels and the inspection and testing after assembly is covered by EN 12252 and EN 14334, respectively.
NOTE 3 The design type of the road tanker is subject to approval by the competent authority, as required by ADR.
NOTE 4 This standard is intended for LPG only; however for other liquefied gases see EN 14025.

Oprema in pribor za utekočinjeni naftni plin (UNP) - Varjene tlačne posode cestnih cistern iz jekla za UNP - Konstruiranje in proizvodnja (vključno z dopolnilom A2)
Ta evropski standard določa minimalne zahteve za materiale, načrtovanje, konstrukcijo in postopke izvedbe ter preskuse za varjene tlačne posode za utekočinjen naftni plin (LPG) za cestne cisterne in njihove varjene priključke, izdelane iz ogljikovega, ogljikovega/manganovega in mikro legiranega jekla.
Zgornje omejitve velikosti ni, ker je ta določena z omejitvijo bruto teže vozila.
Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za tlačne posode za zabojnike s tlačno posodo.
OPOMBA 1: V tem standardu izraz »cestna cisterna« pomeni cisterne s pritrjeno posodo in cisterne s snemljivo posodo, kot so opredeljene v ADR.
OPOMBA 2: Za opremo za tlačne posode se uporablja EN 12252, za pregled in preskušanje po montaži pa se uporablja EN 14334.
OPOMBA 3: Tip izvedbe cestne cisterne mora odobriti pristojni organ, kot to zahteva ADR.
OPOMBA 4: Ta standard se uporablja samo za LPG, vendar za druge utekočinjene pline glej EN 14025.

EN ISO 14000 series (#see [8], [9] and [10]$). Provisions need to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressures are gauged unless otherwise stated. NOTE This European Standard requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuring equipment, etc. It might be beneficial to refer to the leaflet “measurement uncertainty leaflet" SP INFO 2000 27 #[15]$.
