Road tanker for dangerous liquid goods transportation—Part1:Technical requirements of atmospheric pressure metal tank
道路运输液体危险货物罐式车辆 第1部分：金属常压罐体技术要求
GB 18564.1-2019 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Road tanker for dangerous liquid goods transportation—Part1:Technical requirements of atmospheric pressure metal tank. It appears in the Electronics compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2020.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to metal atmospheric pressure tanks used in road tankers for transporting dangerous liquid goods, where the working pressure during normal transportation is less than 0.1 MPa. It covers tanks permanently connected to vehicle chassis or semi-trailer running gear. It is not applicable to non-metallic materials, vacuum insulation structures, or military equipment. The standard references design codes similar to ADR for tank configurations.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive requirements for materials, mandating compatibility with the transported media and strict chemical and mechanical properties for carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and aluminum. Design requirements encompass load considerations (including inertia forces), calculation of design pressure and calculation pressure, and minimum thickness rules based on a reference steel concept. Structural design dictates the use of full-penetration butt welds, specific head and baffle configurations, and rollover protection devices. Furthermore, it details requirements for safety attachments (like relief devices and emergency shut-off valves), piping systems, and pumping systems. Manufacturers must ensure all welding procedures are qualified and non-destructive testing meets specified acceptance levels. The standard also outlines manufacturing tolerances, heat treatment, and connection requirements between the tank and the chassis.
Testing methods
The standard mandates several key testing methods to ensure integrity: a water filling test to check for leaks, a pressure test (hydraulic, pneumatic, or combined) to verify structural strength under specified test pressures, and an airtightness test conducted after the pressure test. Additionally, it requires non-destructive testing (radiographic, magnetic particle, or penetrant testing) on welded joints, and specific performance tests for attachments like loading hoses and quick connectors.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 18564.1-2019?
It regulates metal atmospheric pressure tanks used on road tankers for transporting dangerous liquid goods with a working pressure less than 0.1 MPa.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 18564.1?
Yes, the 2019 version replaces the 2006 version, introducing new requirements for design documents, material quality certificates, welding procedures, and in-service inspections, while deleting requirements for highly toxic media effective volume.
How does GB 18564.1-2019 relate to international standards?
The standard incorporates a tank design code system derived from the European ADR agreement, categorizing tanks based on calculation pressure, loading/unloading positions, and safety relief device configurations.
