Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides guidance on the minimum re-quirements for the design, manufacture, installation, and op-eration of bunker hose transfer assemblies for cryogenicservice pertaining to bunkering of

34、LNG-fueled vessels. Thebunker hose transfer assemblies addressed by this practice arefor connections between the LNG-fueled vessel bunker mani-fold presentation flange connections and the LNG supplierbunkering manifold presentation flange connections.5. Transfer Assembly5.1 The bunker hose transfer

35、assemblies are connectionsbetween the receiving LNG-fueled vessel bunker manifold andthe LNG supplier bunkering manifold. A bunker hose transferassembly may be for either a liquid natural gas transfer or acombination of liquid and vapor transfer. The transfer systemassembly consists of numerous comp

36、onents which may includebut not limited to the hose assembly, DQD breakawaycouplings, insulating flange, strainers, gaskets, and associatedfittings.5.2 Materials:5.2.1 Examples of approved materials are but not limited to9 % nickel steel, type 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, and 347solution treated stain

37、less steel and aluminum alloy such as type5083 annealed.5.3 Physical Properties:5.3.1 All materials must be capable of withstanding cryo-genic temperatures of 320F 196C found in liquid nitro-gen. The use of liquid nitrogen is commonly used for thetesting of components with a non-volatile cryogenic l

38、iquid orvapor. Common usages would include cool down of equipmentbefore the LNG transfer and in purging cycles.All componentsshall be employed in accordance with the recognized standards(inch-pound and SI) and applicable regulations as referenced inSection 2.5.4 Design:5.4.1 The transfer assembly is

39、 to have an internal MAWP atleast 150 PSIG 10.34 BAR.5.4.2 The design pressure is not to be less than the pressureof the most severe condition of coincidental internal or externalpressure and temperatures (maximum or minimum) expectedduring service. However, this practice does impose a specificminim

45、t susceptible tocreep and can be displaced during thermal cycling.5.6.4 The gaskets are to be fabricated of compound mate-rials. This would include semi-metal gaskets containingexpanded graphite or PTFE filler or expanded PTFE with multidirectional strength.5.6.5 Gaskets are to be used in accordance

46、 with manufac-turer recommendations. To mitigate the risk of spraying leaks,flange connections must be protected by a spray shield.5.6.6 Gaskets need to be regularly inspected.5.6.7 Gasketed pipe joints and hose connections shall gen-erally be electrically bonded. However, an approved insulatingflan
