14、oading limit (LL) to which a cargo tank may be loaded should be determined by the following formula: where: No cargo tanks should have a higher filling limit (FL) than 98% at LL = FL LL = loading limit expressed in percent, which means the maximum allowable liquid volume relative to the tank volume
15、to which the tank may be loaded; FL = filling limit as specified in 1 5.1.1 or 1 5.1.3; PR = relative density of cargo at the reference temperature; and PL = relative density of cargo at the loading temperature and pressure. 1 5.1.3 The Administration may allow a higher filling limit (FL) than the l
16、imit of 98% 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 t
17、he cargo at the set pressure of the pressure relief valves, provided the conditions specified in 8.2.1 7 are maintained. 1 5.1.4 For the purposes of this chapter only, “reference temperature“ means: (a) the temperature corresponding to the vapour pressure of the cargo at the set pressure of the pres
18、sure relief 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
19、in chapter VI1 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 comp
20、lying with 8.3 should be fitted. 3 1 5.1.5 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 8.2.18: where: 11 = FlF LL = loading limit as specified in 15.1.2; Fl = filling limit as specif
21、ied in 1 5.1.1 or 1 5.1.3; PR = 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 p = as specified in 15.1.2. This paragraph does not a
22、pply to products 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 temp
23、erature, on a 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
24、regardless of the date of construction.“ The following words are added at the end of existing paragraph 8.2.17: “at the maximum allowable filling limit (FL)“. 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 t
25、anks loaded 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
26、; (b) the 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. 8.2.19 Paragraphs 8.2.1 7 and 8.2.18 apply, where applicable, to all ships regardless of the date of co
27、nstruction.“ I I Refer to the guidelines to be developed by the Organization. 4 CODE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT OF SHIPS CARRYING LIQUEFIED GASES IN BULK 1983 EDITION INCORPORATING AMENDMENTS 1 TO 4 INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANlZATlON London, 1983 First published in 1983 by the INTERNATIONAL
