(1) Tank top covering
The test items and testing procedure given in Table 3.27.9 are to be carried out for top covering.
the tank
Table 3.27.9 Type Test Items and Testing Procedure for Tank Top Covering for Oil Tanks
Test item | Test procedures |
Odor test | The inner surface of an appropriate container is to be coated with the covering and the outer surface is to be warmed up and kept at 65°C by hot water, etc. It is to be verified whether or not harmful odor is generated. |
Bending strength | To be in accordance with KS F 2407 (Testing method for flexural strength of con- crete (Using simple beam with center-point loading)) |
Compression strength | To be in accordance with KS F 2405 (Testing method for compressive strength of molded concrete cylinders) |
Oil absorption test | Test piece of tank top covering (30 cm × 30 cm) is to be immersed for 24 hours in heavy oil at 65°C and measure the increase of weight. 15% or less of weight in- creasing is acceptable. |
Oil tightness test | The tank top covering is to be coated on the top of steel container where 20 holes of 6 mm diameters are drilled with 100 mm pitch. 0.2 MPa oil pressure is to be ap- plied to the inner surface and be kept for 24 hours. It is to be verified that no oil permeates through the 6 mm holes. |
Combustion test | To be in accordance with the combustion test in 2 (2). |
(2) Additional tests
The tests are to be carried out in accordance with requirements specified in Table 3.27.9 In
addition to covering.
these tests, the tests given in Table 3.27.10 are to be carried out for the tank
side
Guidance for Approval of Manufacturing Process and Type Approval, Etc. 2015 193
Table 3.27.10 Approval Test Items and Testing Procedure for Tank Side Covering
Item | Method |
Vibration test | |
After the oil tightness test, the container is to be vibrated for 4 hours. (Vibration conditions of approximately 8 Hz frequency and about 0.10 to 0.50 mm half amplitude are to be maintained. After the vibration test, heavy oil is filled up in the container and left for 17 hours. It is to be verified that no leakage of oil and no peeling off of covering occurred. | |
Hammering test | The inside of the test container is to be patted with a 5 kg hand hammer, and it is to be veri- fied that no crack and no peeling off occurred. |
Adhesion test | A test sample is to be bundles up from the surface of the tank and detached by scraper to check adhesion hardness and permeation of fuel oil. |
Heating test | The internal surface of the tank is to be heated as follows to check the dissolution conditions of the test sample and the adhesive condition using a scraper. Heating time: 3 minutes Heating temperature: 600 °C Heating area: Approximately 100 mm in diameter |
