No cargo tanks should have a hi
13、gher filling limit (FL) than 98% at 15.1.2 The maximum loading limit (LL) to which a cargo tank may be loaded should be determined by the following formula: LL = FL? where: LL = loading limit expressed in percent, which means the maximum allowable liquid valume relative to the tank volume to which t
14、he tank may be loaded: FL = filling limit as specified in 1 5.1.1 or 1 5.1.3: r = relative density of cargo at the reference temperature: and rL = relative densin/ of cargo at the loading temperature and pressure. 1 5.1.3 The Administration may allow a higher filling limit (FL) than the limit of 98%
15、 specified in 1 5.1.1 at the reference temperature, taking into account the shape of the tank, arrangements of pressure relief valves, accuracy of level and temperature gauging and the difference between the loading temperature and the temperature corresponding to the vapour pressure of the cargo at
16、 the set pressure of the pressure relief valves, provided the conditions specified in 8.2.1 7 are maintained. 15.1.4 means: For the purposes of this chapter only, “reference temperature“ (a) the temperature corresponding to the vapour pressure of the cargo at the set pressure of the pressure relief
17、valves when no cargo vapour pressure/temperature control as referred to in chapter VI1 is provided: (b) the temperature of the cargo upon termination of loading, during transport, or at unloading, whichever is the greatest, when a cargo vapour pressure/temperature control as referred to in chapter V
18、I1 is provided. If this reference temperature would result in the cargo tank becoming liquid-full before the cargo reaches a temperature corresponding to the vapour pressure of the cargo at the set pressure of the relief valves required in 8.2. an additional pressurerelieving system complying with 8
19、.3 should be fitted. 3 15.1.5 The Administration may allow type C tanks to be loaded according to the following formula provided that the tank vent system has been approved in accordance with 8.2.1 8: LL = FLF LL = loading limit as specified in 15.1.2: FL = filling limit as specified in 15.1 .I or 1
20、5.1.3; fR = relative density of cargo at the highest temperature which the cargo may reach upon termination of loading, during transport, or at unloading, under the ambient design temperature conditions described in 7.1.2: and where: rL = as specified in 15.1.2. This paragraph does not apply to prod
21、ucts requiring a type 1G ship 15.2 Information to be provided to the master The maximum allowable loading limits for each cargo tank should be indicated for each product which may be carried, for each loading temperature which may be applied and for the applicable maximum reference temperature, on a
22、 list to be approved by the Administration. Pressures at which the pressure relief valves, including those valves required by 8.3, have been set should also be stated on the list. A copy of the list should be permanently kept on board by the master. 15.3 Chapter XV applies to all ships regardless of
23、 the date of construction.” The following words are added at the end of existing paragraph 8.2.17: 2 “at the maximum allowable filling limit (FL)”. 3 The following new paragraphs 8.2.18 and 8.2.19 are added after existing paragraph 8.2.17: ”8.2.18 The adequacy of the vent system fitted on tanks load
24、ed in accordance with 15.1.5 is to be demonstrated using the guidelines developed by the Organization. A relevant certificate should be permanently kept on board the ship. For the purposes of this paragraph, ”vent system” means: (a) the tank outlet and the piping to the pressure relief valve; (b) th
25、e pressure relief valve: (c) the piping from the pressure relief valve to the location of discharge to the atmosphere and including any interconnections and piping which joins other tanks. Paragraphs 8.2.17 and 8.2.18 apply, where applicable, to all ships 8.2.1 9 regardless of the date of constructi

48、 The Code has been developed to provide an international standard for the safe carriage by sea in bulk of liquefied gases and certain other substances listed in Chapter XIX, by prescribing the design and constructional features of ships involved in such carriage and the equipment they should carry s
49、o as to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and to the environment having regard to the nature of the products involved. 2 The basic philosophy is one of ship types related to the hazards of the products covered by the Code. Each of the products may have one or more hazard properties which include flammability, toxicity, corrosivity and reactivity. A further possible hazard may arise due to the products being transported under cryogenic or pressure conditions. 3 Throughout the development of the Code it was recognized that it must be based upon sound naval ar
