GENERAL FEATURES The following features are general in nature and apply to all tanks, valves and pipe work wherever possible. Non compliance with these features must be nominated if not exempted elsewhere. These features shall take precedence over the drawings but not the specific sections below. All fittings, valves and pipe work above 20 mm dia shall be flanged 300# ANSI B16.5 RF with Steel Spiral Wound gaskets except those required as insulating joints. All studs and nut shall be supplied zinc plated and material specifications shall be as per ASTM A 193 Gr.B7 for Studs & ASTM A 194 Gr.2H for Nuts. Nut & Bolts shall not be used. All pipe work shall comply with SMPV Rules of CCOE , Nagpur, India. All metallic liquified piping shall be rated for propane as per ASME B- 31.3 with a minimum design pressure of 32.00 kg/ sqcm with a factor of safety of four. The materials of pipes shall be low carbon or alloy steel conforming to American standard ASTM-SA333, grade 6 or API-5L. The pipeline shall be tested at one and half times of the design pressure, if hydrotested or ten percent in excess of design pressure if pneumatically tested. All ball valves shall be suitable for LPG operations constructed as per manufacturing standard API 6D and shall be Fire Safe as per API 607 / BS 6755 (Part II). CONTRACTOR TO SUBMIT TEST CERTIFICATE OF TPIA CERTIFYING THE VALES ARE MANUFACTURED AS PER API 6D AND FIRE SAFE. All works shall comply with relevant Australian Standards including AS1596, AS3000, AS1210, etc. or Equivalent European Standards.

The manufacturer is to supply in the tender package manufacturing drawings to confirm compliance with all requirements 4.1 Above Ground Fill Point. Aboveground fill point shall be designed to ensure it can be installed 300 to 600 mm above ground level. Aboveground fill point shall include : 5.0 Liquid fill pipe work and vapour recovery pipe ( SA 333 Gr. 6) Emergency stop button. Remote Operated Valves on both Liquid and Vapour Line. Pressure Gauge. Strainer. Remote Display Unit of the Level Indicator of the Tank. All Structural Steel Woks

TANK FEATURES The following features described are to be incorporated into the design and manufacture of the LP Gas Tanks. The manufacturer is to supply in the tender package manufacturing drawings to confirm compliance with all requirements Tank to have two openings for piping connections / various fittings. The first fitting shall be of 350 NB dia and shall contain all the instrumentation fittings. The second opening shall be of 600 NB dia for all piping nozzles. The fittings shall be in the form of Manhole cover. Tanks shall be supplied with stud pads for all fittings above 20 mm in diameter in order to utilize flanged ball valves as secondary protection due to superior joint safety in relation to threaded couplings. This excludes the safety relief valve but no other valves or fitting. The stud pads shall contain internal NPT threads in order to insert internal primary valves (excess flow or non return) fitted from outside of the tank.

5.1

Underground Tanks with submersible pumps. In addition to specific details on drawings all underground LPG tanks shall have the following features:

5.2.2 Pipe Work All fittings on the Man Hole Cover (350 NB & 600 NB ) shall have valves and pipe work above 20mm dia shall be flanged 300# ANSI with Steel Spiral Wound gaskets except those required as insulating joints. The drain line shall be provided with 2 nos. 40 NB ball valve with blind flange. Provision in the Pipe manifold is to be provided to evacuate the product of the U/G tank in case of Off Spec product or Emergency by pumping the product back in the tanker through Fill Point. All fittings on LPG lines should be Forged fittings. Mitred fittings shall not be allowed in LPG lines. All fittings of 40 mm and below shall be socket welded. If a small size tapping is to be taken from a large dia pipe e.g for taking tapping for pressure gauges, for vent line for SRV`s, PRV etc, the same shall be done using a half coupling of specifications mentioned below : Specifications of fittings shall be as follows : For sizes above 40 mm CS Forged fittings, Butt Welded conforming to Material SA 420 GR.
