31、by Technical Committee CEN/TC 286 “Liquefied petroleum gas equipment and accessories”, the secretariat of which is held by NSAI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2014, and confl
32、icting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document
33、supersedes EN 12493:2008+A1:2012. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. This European Standard has been submitted for reference into the technical annexes of the ADR 10. NOTE These regulations take precedence
34、over any clause of this European Standard. It is emphasised that RID/ADR/ADN are being revised regularly at intervals of two years which may lead to temporary non-compliances with the clauses of this European Standard. The following main changes have been introduced during the revision of EN 12493:2
35、008+A1:2012: revision of the shell thickness calculations to avoid any confusion with ADR design pressures; revision of the hydraulic test pressure to avoid any confusion with ADR hydraulic test pressures and to reduce the maximum tensile stress (at the time of the hydraulic test); the addition of m
36、inimum thickness calculations; clarification of the surge plate requirements; references to Annex C (normative) changed to informative. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Au

39、 the use of substances and procedures that may be injurious to health and/or the environment if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to technical suitability: it does not absolve the user from their legal obligations at any stage. Protection of the environment is a key political issue
40、in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Protection of the environment in this document is understood in a very broad sense. The phrase is used, for example, in relation to the total life-cycle aspects of a product on the environment, including expenditure of energy, and during all phases of its ex
41、istence, from mining of raw materials, to fabrication, packaging, distribution, use, scrapping, recycling of materials, etc. Annex L comprises an environmental checklist which highlights the clauses of this European Standard that address environmental aspects. It is recommended that manufacturers de
42、velop an environmental management policy. For guidance, see EN ISO 14000 series (see 6, 7 and 8). Provisions need to be restricted to a general guidance. Limit values are specified in national laws. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is
43、 entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. All pressures are gauged unless otherwise stated. NOTE This European Standard requires measurement of material properties, dimensions and pressures. All such measurements are subject to a degree of uncertainty due to tolerances in measuri
44、ng equipment, etc. It might be beneficial to refer to the leaflet “measurement uncertainty leaflet“ SP INFO 2000 27 13.

45、3:2013EN 12493:2013 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard specifies minimum requirements for materials, design, construction and workmanship procedures, and tests for welded LPG road tanker pressure vessels and their welded attachments manufactured from carbon, carbon/manganese and micro alloy steels
46、. There is no upper size limit as this is determined by the gross vehicle weight limitation. This European Standard does not cover pressure vessels for pressure vessel containers. NOTE 1 In the context of this standard the term “road tanker“ is understood to mean “fixed tanks” and “demountable tanks
47、” as defined in ADR. NOTE 2 The equipment for the pressure vessels and the inspection and testing after assembly is covered by EN 12252 and EN 14334, respectively. NOTE 3 The design type of the road tanker is subject to approval by the competent authority, as required by ADR. 2 Normative references
