Installation and equipment for liquefied natural gas - Design and testing of marine transfer systems - Part 2: Design and testing of transfer hoses
This European Standard gives general guidelines for the design, material selection, qualification, certification, and testing details for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) transfer hoses for offshore transfer or on coastal weather-exposed facilities for aerial, floating and submerged configurations or a combination of these. Whilst this European Standard is applicable to all LNG hoses, it is acknowledged that there may be further specific requirements for floating and submerged hoses.
The transfer hoses will be designed to be part of transfer systems (it means that they will be fitted with ERS, QCDC, handling systems, hydraulic and electric components etc.) To avoid unnecessary repetition, cross-references to EN 1474-1 and EN 1474-3, are made for all compatible items, and for references, definitions and abbreviations. Where additional references, definitions and abbreviations are required specifically for LNG hoses, they are listed in this European Standard.
Transfer hoses need to be durable when operating in the marine environment and to be flexible with a minimum bending radius compatible with handling and the operating requirements of the transfer system.
Anlagen und Ausrüstung für Flüssigerdgas - Auslegung und Prüfung von Schiffsübergabesystemen - Teil 2: Auslegung und Prüfung von Übergabeschläuchen
Diese europäische Norm enthält generelle Leitlinien für Auslegung, Werkstoffauswahl, Eignung, Zertifizierung
und Prüfdetails für Flüssigerdgas (LNG, en: liquified natural gas) – Schlauchleitungen für die Übergabe auf
See oder bei Anlagen, die Küstenwetter ausgesetzt sind, für oberirdische, schwimmende oder getauchte
Anordnung oder eine Kombination aus diesen. Während diese europäische Norm für alle LNG-Schläuche
anwendbar ist, wird darauf hingewiesen, dass es weitere besondere Anforderungen für schwimmende oder
getauchte Schläuche geben kann.
Die Übergabeschläuche werden als Teil eines Übergabesystems ausgelegt (d. h., die werden mit ERS [en:
Emergency Release System], QCDC [en: Quick Connect/Disconnect Coupler], Handhabungssystemen,
hydraulischen und elektrischen Bauteilen usw. ausgerüstet). Zur Vermeidung von unnötigen Wiederholungen
wird für alle vergleichbaren Gegenstände, für Definitionen und Abkürzungen auf EN 1474-1 und EN 1474-3
verwiesen. Sofern zusätzliche Verweise, Definitionen und Abkürzungen für LNG-Schlauchleitungen benötigt
werden, sind sie in dieser europäischen Norm aufgeführt.
Schlauchleitungen zur Übergabe müssen bei Betrieb in Meeresumgebung dauerhaft sein und sie müssen
biegsam sein bei einem minimalen Biegeradius, der den Anforderungen an Handhabung und Betrieb des
Übergabesystems entspricht.
Installations et équipements de gaz naturel liquéfié - Conception et essais des systèmes de transfert marins - Partie 2: Conception et essais des tuyaux de transfert
Cette norme européenne fournit des lignes directrices générales relatives à la conception, au choix des
matériaux, à la qualification, à la certification et aux détails des essais concernant les tuyaux flexibles de
transfert de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) destinés au transfert offshore ou aux installations côtières exposées
aux intempéries. Elle s’applique aux configurations de tuyaux flexibles de transfert aériens, flottants,
submergés ou une combinaison de ces configurations. Alors que cette norme européenne est applicable à
tous les tuyaux flexibles de GNL, il est reconnu qu’il peut y avoir des exigences spécifiques complémentaires
pour les tuyaux flexibles flottants et submergés.
Les tuyaux flexibles de transfert seront conçus pour faire partie des systèmes de transfert (cela signifie qu’ils
seront équipés d’ERS, de QCDC, de systèmes de manutention, de composants hydrauliques et électriques,
etc.)
Pour éviter les répétitions inutiles, la référence à l’EN 1474-1 et à l’EN 1474-3 est valable pour tous les
éléments compatibles, ainsi que pour les références, les définitions et les abréviations. Si des références, des
définitions et des abréviations supplémentaires sont spécifiquement nécessaires pour les tuyaux flexibles de
GNL, elles sont énumérées dans la présente norme.
Les tuyaux flexibles de transfert ont besoin d’être résistants lorsqu’ils sont utilisés en environnement marin et
flexibles avec un rayon de courbure minimal compatible avec la manipulation et les exigences opérationnelles
du système de transfert.

Depending on the design, the outer leak proof layer can be a corrugated stainless steel pipe similar to the inner pipe. In this case the annular gap between inner and outer pipe may be evacuated. The pressure supervision of this annular gap results in a leak detection of inner and outer pipe. The thermal insulation may be maintained by layers of super insulation inside the evacuated annular gap. SIST EN 1474-2:2009

4.2.2.2 End fitting assembly The end fitting assembly is made of stainless steel, and ensures 2 primary functions. The flexible termination incorporates the different layers of the flexible and ensures the integrity of each layer at its end. The construction is designed to allow the immediate detection of any LNG leak into the inner annulus. The end connector is connected to the associated piping at each end of the flexible. This will typically be a standard ANSI flange. 4.2.3 Composite hoses A composite hose consists of un-bonded, multiple polymeric film and fabric layers trapped between two wire helices which give the hose its shape, one being internal and one being external. Broadly, the film layers provide a fluid-tight barrier to the conveyed product and the fabric layers provide the mechanical strength of the hose. In sequence, starting from the bore, the construction is as follows: a) inner metallic wire helix applied at a pre-determined close pitch; b) polymeric fabric layers forming the bore material; c) pack of many polymeric film layers. The complete film pack achieves a tubular form and provides the fluid tight barrier to the conveyed product; SIST EN 1474-2:2009

The design process and required information is outlined below. 5.2 Application data required The application data required should be determined by the owner and/or the system vendor according to the guidelines given in Annex A. 5.3 Selection of hose length The overall hose length will be dictated by the system design and shall be sufficient to meet both storage and operational conditions including motion envelopes as defined in EN 1474-3 (see also Annex A). Depending on the length, system design and type, and other factors such as shipping requirements, the hose shall be either supplied as a continuous length or as a string of discrete sections. The hose length used in the system shall be such that the motion envelopes as defined in EN 1474-3 are met (see also Annex A). SIST EN 1474-2:2009

The end fitting shall comply with the system fatigue criteria. In the case of a burst test for proof purposes, the end fittings shall not separate from the hose. SIST EN 1474-2:2009
