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 b
17、y July 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2000. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards 0rganize:rons of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, F
18、inland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The standard has been submitted for reference into the RID and/or in the technical annexes of the ADR. Therefore the standards listed in the normati
19、ve references and covering basic requirements of the RID/ADR not addressed within the present standard are normative only when the standards themselves are referred to in the RID andlor in the technical annexes of the ADR.

21、to operate above atmospheric pressure. Appropriate parts may be used as guidance for vessels designed to operate to the atmosphere. This standard applies to transportable vacuum insulated cryogenic vessels for fluids as specified in 3.1 and is not applicable to such vessels designed for toxic fluids

As a consequence, vacuum is designated by a negative value 4 General requirements The transportable cryogenic vessel shall safely withstand the mechanical and thermal loads and the chemical effects encountered during pressure test and normal oper
42、ation. These requirements are deemed to be satisfied if clauses 5 to 9 are fulfilled. The vessel shall be marked in accordance with clause 10, tested in accordance with clauses 11 and 12 and operated in accordance with EN 1251-3. 5 Mechanical loads 5.1 General The transportable cryogenic vessel shal
43、l resist the mechanical loads mentioned in clause 4 without such deformation which could affect safety and which could lead to leakage. This requirement can be validated by: - calculation; - experimental method; - calculation and experimental method in accordance with prEN 1251-2. The mechanical loa
44、ds to be considered are given in 5.2 and 5.3. 5.2 Load during the pressure test The loads exerted during the pressure test are: ft 2 1,3(fs + 1) bar where: Pt is the test pressure (in bar); Ps is the maximum allowable pressure (= relief device set pressure) (in bar); + 1 is the allowance for externa
45、l vacuum (in bar). 5.3 Other mechanical loads 5.3.1 The following loads shall be considered to act in combination where relevant: - a pressure equal to the maximum allowable pressure in the inner vessel and pipework; - the pressure exerted by the liquid when filled to capacity; - loads produced by t
46、he thermal movement of the inner vessel, outer jacket and interspace piping; - loads imposed in lifting and handling fixtures (at the vessel); - full vacuum in the outer jacket; O BSI 05-2000 Page 8 - a pressure in the outer jacket equal to the set pressure of the relief device protecting the outer
47、jacket; EN 1251-1:2000 - load due to dynamic effects, when the vessel is filled to capacity, giving consideration to: - the inner vessel support system including attachments to the inner vessel and outer jacket; - the interspace and external piping; - the outer jacket supports and where applicable t
48、he supporting frame. 5.3.2 capacity shown on the data plate exerted by the inner vessel both horizontally and vertically shall be considered. Dynamic loads during normal operation equal to twice the mass of the inner vessel when filled to the 5.3.3 If the vessel has a volume of more than 100 I or a
49、gross mass of more than 150 kg or if the height of the centre of gravity of the fully loaded vessel is less than twice the smallest horizontal dimension at its base, the vertically upwards acting reference load may be reduced to one times the gross mass. 6 Chemical effects Due to the cryogenic fluids, their temperatures and the materials of construction used, the possibility of chemical action on the inner surfaces in contact with the cryogenic fluids can be neglected. Also due to the fact that the inner vessel is inside an evacuated outer jacket,
