26、lating lining. The test piece shall be stored in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Specifically, if the material applied is concrete, the test pieces shall be built, cured and stored in compliance with prEN 12379. 4.2 Equipment used to measure the evaporation coefficient of LNG in c

The quantity of LNG necessary fo
28、r the test shall be discharged over the test piece in less than 0,5 s. The discharged volume is equal to the product of the test piece surface and the desired height of LNG within a limit deviation of 5% . After the LNG discharge, the initial height of LNG over the test piece shall be about 2,5 cm.
29、Annex A specifies the characteristics of the test rig. NOTE. Given the different thermal behaviour of other cryogenic lquids, none of them can replace LNG to measure the evaporation coefficient. 4.2.2 Measuring equipment The evaporation coefficient of LNG in contact with the insulating lining shall
30、be determined on the basis of continuous weighings of the tank placed on a scale, following LNG discharge over the test piece. For that purpose, an electronic scale shall be used in combination with a high-speed recorder. Annex B specifies the characteristics of the measuring equipment. 4.3 Equipmen

32、f the test pieces shall be measured after successive weighings of test pieces on previously calibrated scales. The weighing scale shall be able to measure with an accuracy better than 1 %. 5 Test method 5.1 Measurement of the evaporation coefficient of LNG in contact with the insulating lining 5.1.1
33、 Procedure The test for the measurement of the evaporation coefficient of LNG in contact with the insulating lining shall be performed at an initial test rig temperature of (20 5) C and at atmospheric pressure in accordance with the following procedure: a) install the test piece at the base of the t

38、rs derived from the measurements The water absorption ratio of the insulating lining shall be quantified by calculating the following parameters: a) the water absorption ratio of each test piece after each weighing; b) the maximum value of water absorption ratio of the insulating lining. Annex D spe

In this case, the ageing procedure shall be defined by the user and agreed by the insulating manufacturer. The simulated lifetime shall be defined by the user. 7 Test report The results of the tests sh
