Overview

SIST EN 14432:2023 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the requirements for valves used on tanks transporting dangerous goods by road and rail. It applies to tanks with a minimum working pressure greater than 50 kPa, designed for the safe transport of liquid chemicals and liquefied gases. The standard covers key tank equipment related to product discharge and air inlet valves, ensuring safe valve operation and containment during transport.

The standard supersedes EN 14432:2014 and includes comprehensive updates, such as the introduction of welding requirements and provisions for dry disconnect couplings. It supports compliance with international transport regulations like the RID and ADR, enhancing safety and quality in the transport of hazardous substances.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Use
    The standard applies to valves performing various critical functions on tanks transporting liquid products and gases:

    • Secondary closure of bottom discharge lines
    • Primary closure on top of tanks for liquid, air, and other connections
    • Aeration valves on top of tanks
    • Secondary closures on top of tanks for poisonous gases in liquid and gas phases
    • Other valves specified under EN 14564:2019 Annex F
  • Valve Types Covered

    • Spindle operated valves
    • Plug and ball valves
    • Butterfly valves
    • Gate valves
    • Dry disconnect couplings
  • Design and Materials

    • Valve design must follow stop valve specifications per EN 736-1
    • Operating mechanisms are protected against inadvertent operation during transit
    • Marking of valve positions and directions of closure is required for operational clarity
    • Materials must meet strict elongation and pressure vessel standards with traceable certification (EN 10204)
  • Welding Standards

    • Welding procedures and personnel qualifications conform to ISO standards such as EN ISO 3834, EN ISO 15613, and EN ISO 9606
    • Welded joints design aligns with EN 1708-1 recommendations
  • Testing Requirements

    • Hydraulic and pneumatic pressure tests validate valve integrity under working conditions
    • Type tests include valve casing hydraulic pressure tests and valve assembly tests
    • Testing ensures resistance to pressures up to 2.25 times the maximum working pressure or a minimum of 400 kPa without permanent deformation
  • Compliance and Marking

    • Valves must be clearly marked with material designation and key operational details
    • Documentation includes detailed specifications for installation, operation, and supply requirements to support proper use and maintenance

Applications

SIST EN 14432:2023 is essential for manufacturers, operators, and regulators involved in the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail. Key applications include:

  • Chemical and Gas Tank Manufacturing
    Ensures valves meet stringent safety and performance criteria for liquid chemicals and liquefied gases, including toxic and poisonous substances.

  • Transportation and Logistics
    Supports safe handling and transfer operations by specifying reliable valve closures and air inlet functions critical to pressure management and containment during transit.

  • Safety Compliance
    Provides a robust framework for meeting regulatory requirements such as RID and ADR, aiding in certification and inspection processes.

  • Maintenance and Inspection
    Aids technical personnel in evaluating valve condition, functionality, and conformity to design and testing standards to maintain operational safety.

  • Design Validation
    Facilitates manufacturers in type testing and validating valve designs, ensuring durability and leak-tightness under varied operational pressures and temperatures.

Related Standards

  • EN 14564:2019 – Specifies additional valves applicable in transport tanks, referenced for related valve functions.
  • EN 14433 – Covers primary closures of gas phase foot valves for liquefied gas tanks, complementing EN 14432’s valve requirements.
  • EN 13175 – Dedicated standard for LPG tanks and valves used in liquefied petroleum gas transport.
  • EN 736-1 – Defines valve terminology and stop valve types relevant to valve design compliance.
  • EN 10204 – Specifies types of inspection documentation for metallic materials used in valve manufacturing.
  • EN ISO 3834-1 and EN ISO 15613 – Establish quality requirements for welding critical components in valve fabrication.
  • EN 12266-1 and EN 12266-2 – Define hydraulic and pneumatic pressure testing procedures and acceptance criteria for industrial valves, integral to EN 14432 testing protocols.

By adhering to SIST EN 14432:2023, stakeholders ensure reliable valve performance, minimizing risks associated with the transport of hazardous liquids and gases. This standard promotes consistent safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory alignment for tank equipment used across Europe and beyond.
