DIN Standards Committee Tank Installations

Overview

The standard covers the vapour collection adaptor and coupler used to achieve a vapour tight path between the transport tank and the stationary loading and unloading facilities. For this purpose, the performance requirements and the critical dimensions of the vapour recovery adaptor fitted to the tank and the mating coupler fitted to a hose or to pipework connected to the stationary loading and unloading facilities. It also specifies the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the equipment with this standard. The equipment specified by this standard is suitable for decanting liquid petroleum products and other dangerous substances of Class 3 of ADR which have a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa at 50 °C (including petrol) and which have no sub-classification as toxic or corrosive. With respect to DIN EN 13081:2009-02, the significant modifications concern the addition of the definition for "probe" and specifications for the opening of the adaptor, for the opening of the coupler and for the interlock. This Amendment A1 to DIN EN 13081:2009-02 has been prepared by WG 7 "Service equipment" (secretariat: BSI, Great Britain)) of CEN/TC 296 "Tanks for transport of dangerous goods", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). The national mirror committee is Working Committee NA 104-02-07 AA "Ausrüstung für Transporttanks" ("Service equipment for transport tanks") of NATank.
