6.6.2.8 Pressure relief devices

6.6.3.7 Pressure relief devices

6.6.4.6 Pressure relief devices

6.6.2.8.5 When the shell is fitted for pressure discharge, the inlet line shall be provided with a suitable pressure relief device set to operate at a pressure not higher than the MAWP of the shell, and a stop valve shall be fitted as close to the shell as reasonably practicable.

Pressure receptacles may not be equipped with any pressure relief device.

6.6.4.10 Siting of pressure relief devices

Other openings, except for openings leading to venting or pressure relief devices, shall be equipped with either a stop valve or another suitable means of closure located as close to the shell as reasonably practicable.

(a) Each plug or valve shall have a taper threaded connection directly to the pressure receptacle and be capable of withstanding the test pressure of the pressure receptacle without damage or leakage

6.6.4.7 Capacity and setting of pressure relief devices

4.2.1.13.6 Portable tanks shall be fitted with pressure relief devices and emergency relief devices.

Emergency pressure relief devices may be used to achieve the full relief capacity prescribed.

6.6.3.5.2 All openings with a diameter of more than 1.5 mm in shells of portable tanks, except openings for pressure relief devices, inspection openings and closed bleed holes, shall be fitted with at least three mutually independent shut off devices in series, the first being an internal stop valve, excess flow valve or equivalent device, the second being an external stop valve and the third being a blank flange or equivalent device.

The top of the tank is provided with either a 1 mm opening which simulates the pressure relief valve (PRV) of the IBC or tank or a real PRV of a diameter which is scaled using the vent area to vessel volume ratio.

Each pressure receptacle with a wall thickness at any point of less than 2.0 mm and each pressure receptacle that does not have fitted valve protection shall be transported in an outer packaging.

When a frangible disc is inserted in series with the required pressure relief device, the space between the frangible disc and the pressure relief device shall be provided with a pressure gauge or suitable tell tale indicator for the detection of disc rupture, pin holing, or leakage which could cause a malfunction of the pressure relief system.

When no spring loaded pressure relief device is used, the frangible disc shall be set to rupture at a nominal pressure equal to the test pressure.

The frangible disc shall rupture at a nominal pressure 10 above the start to discharge pressure of the relief device.

The frangible discs shall rupture at a nominal pressure 10 above the start to discharge pressure of the relief device.

Each assembly shall be fitted with one or more pressure relief devices.

Civil Horizontal Valve

(releases air valve)

The pressure relief devices shall open automatically at a pressure not less than the MAWP and be fully open a pressure equal to 110 of the MAWP.

6.7.5.6.1 Pressure relief devices shall be clearly and permanently marked with the following

The start to discharge pressure shall, however, in no case be such that liquid would escape from the valve(s) if the portable tank were overturned.

The pressure relief devices shall open automatically at a pressure not less than the MAWP and be fully open at a pressure equal to 110 of the MAWP.

The device shall remain closed at all lower pressures. This requirement does not prevent the use of vacuum relief or combination pressure relief and vacuum relief devices.

(b) Each valve shall be of the packless type with non perforated diaphragm, except that, for corrosive materials, a valve may be of the packed type with an assembly made gas tight by means of a seal cap with gasket joint attached to the valve body or the pressure receptacle to prevent loss of material through or past the packing

6.6.2.7.1 All portable tanks shall be fitted with at least one pressure relief device.

Emergency pressure relief devices may be of the spring loaded, frangible or fusible type.

6.6.2.13.1 Every pressure relief device shall be plainly and permanently marked with the following

6.6.3.9.1 Every pressure relief device shall be plainly and permanently marked with the following
