Can metal hoses be used for loading and unloading fuels in cars and ships?
Thread Content
As the title suggests, can metal hoses be used for loading and unloading fuels in cars and ships? Which regulation was introduced? Does anyone who knows this know about it? Please give an introduction
Sure. 【SEST 0210 Design Specifications for Oil Transportation Projects】【Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises GB50160-1999 – Chapter 5 Storage and Transportation Facilities】
Is that SEST standard applicable to all cases, or only to Sinopec? The regulations in the petrochemical regulations have been found; it’s the 2008 version though. Thank you
Weren’t metal universal joints required?
There are no mandatory requirements for cars, but there are ones for ships. The Port Code 2013 states that chemical tankers are not subject to any restrictions, and oil tankers with a capacity of less than 5,000 DWT may use hoses
Everything here has been replaced with metal joints; the experts no longer allow the use of metal hoses
For ships, it’s not clear; for cars, it’s something like LPG. Liquid ammonia must never be transported using hoses, while gasoline and diesel are acceptable. But with such strict safety inspections these days, hoses are generally not used anymore!
There are specific standards for hoses used for loading LPG. gbt10546-2003
The use of metal hoses for gasoline and diesel is not prohibited; relevant port regulations address this, such as the \"General Design Code for River Port Projects\", and it is also a common practice.
Order No. 186 issued by the Work Safety Administration stipulates that swivel hoses must be used for tank trucks
Guiding Opinions of the Office of the State Council Safety Committee on Further Strengthening Safety Production Work for Hazardous Chemicals, Document No. 26: In the process of filling hazardous chemicals in tank trucks, the use of universal filling pipeline systems should be promoted as a replacement for filling hoses; the use of hoses for filling liquid chlorine, liquid ammonia, liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, and other liquefied hazardous chemicals is prohibited.
