1 Scope of application
These packing instructions shall be adhered to both by the supplier, if he is responsible for rendering the
packing services, (hereinafter referred to as "supplier") and by any packing company commissioned sepa-
rately by the customer to render packing services on the supplier's premises, on the said company's own
premises or at any other location (hereinafter referred to as the "packing contractor"), the applicable HPE
1)
packaging guidelines to be considered as minimum standard. In all other respects the customer's General
Conditions of Purchase shall apply. Any special conditions agreed to in the written order or in any enclosures
of the same shall have precedence over the present packing instructions.

2 Preservation and corrosion protection

2.1 Corrosion protection on the object in question
• In the event of equipment such as vessels, columns, large-scale machinery, pipes etc. being shipped with-
out packing, the supplier shall protect said items against corrosion in conformity with the technical specifi-
cations of the customer and with the planned mode of shipping. The customer shall be consulted in the
event of queries.
• Corrosion protection measures to be performed on the object itself (e.g. painting of process equipment and
vessels) shall be performed by the supplier in compliance with the customer's technical specifications,
even if the object is to be packed by a packing company commissioned by the customer. The customer's
technical department shall be consulted in the event of queries.

2.2 Preservation provided by the packing material

If no standards are available, the supplier / packing contractor shall observe the following:
• Materials, whose composition and design characteristics make them particularly susceptible to corrosion,
shall be sealed in plastic foil which must be at least 0,2 mm thick. When selecting the type of foil to be
used (polyethylene or aluminium compound sheeting), the foil's permeability to water vapours and the du-
ration of the transport and storage periods involved shall be taken into consideration.
• Sufficient quantities of a desiccant material shall be added to the packed units to ensure that the relative
air humidity inside the sealed foil packing is maintained at less than 50 % during the entire transport and
storage period, details of these periods being specified in the shipping specifications (calculation in accor-
dance with DIN 55474).
• Laminated paper shall not be used if the packed unit contains metals which could be affected by the use of such.
• The use of hygroscopic filling and padding materials (e.g. wood wool, hay, straw, paper) for filling cavities
or for padding purposes is not permitted.

3 Identification of individual components

All individual components contained in one packing unit shall be marked separately.

The supplier shall be notified of the marking of the individual components, such notification being sent with the
order and enquiry enclosures or with the customer's shipping instructions.

All markings shall be listed in the appropriate packing lists to enable the materials to be identified upon deliv-
ery.

4 Types of packing
4.1 General
The design and construction of the packing, whilst remaining within reasonable economic limits, shall allow for
loads (static or dynamic) occurring during transport, handling and storage and shall also comply with the re-
quirements of the transport operator, the country of destination and the customer's own specifications.

The packing shall withstand the following loads:

• load on the lid: min 1 t / m²
• shunting impact: 4g

The construction of the packing described shall allow handling by crane or fork-lift truck and shall ensure that
the packing can be properly secured during transport. Lifting and sling points shall be attached by the supplier
/ packing contractor.

Any special lifting devices required for equipment / packed units awaiting shipping (e.g. due to an abnormal
centre of gravity) shall be provided by the supplier, even if the items have been packed by a packing company
commissioned by the customer. The customer shall be furnished with proof that the official certificate covering
cargo handling gear / test certificate has been issued before transportation can begin.

4.2 Packing cases

In accordance with DIN 4074-1 and -2, only grade II / III timber (fir / spruce) may be used for the packing
cases. The boards for the outer surfaces shall be between 24 mm and 30 mm thick depending on the type,
size and weight of the items of equipment to be packed. The boards shall be nailed closely together. The de-
sign of the cases shall facilitate stacking, i.e. there must be sufficient internal structuring with squared timbers
and diagonal braces.

The cases shall be provided with skids and subskids (slinging reinforcement elements). The number of skids
required and their width depend on the overall weight, length and breadth of the packed unit. The sling points
(bottom/side and side / lid) of cases with a gross weight in excess of 5 t shall be provided with angle irons
(min. 3 mm thick) to prevent the cables from cutting into the cases. The front-end timber of all cases weighing
more than 1000 kg shall be firmly bolted to the skids (Figure 6).

The cases shall be braced and reinforced to withstand any load (static or dynamic) likely to occur during
transportation by rail, road or ship (rail: 4 g, road: 1.2 g, ship: 1.1 g). Measures shall be taken to prevent the
item from shifting within the packed unit (screwing together, bolting to the bottom of the case etc.).

The cases shall be lined with waterproofing materials (e.g. jute board or bituminised paper).

The case lid shall be designed to prevent water penetration and shall therefore be lined on the inside with
polythene or aluminium compound foil. A layer of hardboard, plywood or plastic shall also be nailed to the lid
to prevent the formation of "water pockets".

The finished cases shall not be stored outdoors without additional protection and shall be covered with tarpau-
lins if they cannot be stored indoors.

4.3 Crates

In principle, the design criteria applied to cases also apply to crates, with the exception of the design of the
outer surfaces. These surfaces shall provide a sufficient area for large-surface marking. If necessary, some
side surfaces shall be boarded completely to provide the space required for such marking. The ratio of the
boarded surfaces to the open surfaces shall generally lie between 1:1 and 2:1.
The boards shall not be less than 10 cm wide. All four sides shall be reinforced with diagonal braces. The front
ends of the crates shall be boarded completely if there is a risk of individual items being pushed out.
 Page 5
ES 10 MS-ST-01 : 2002-03

Figure 5. Crate, open front ends

4.4 Arrangement of skids / subskids for cases and crates

A minimum of 3 skids shall be provided for cases and crates measuring between 100 cm and 240 cm wide.
The actual number of skids, their location and their spacing depend on the location of the centre of gravity and
on whether the item of equipment can be attached to the bottom of the case. The skids shall be dimensioned
in proportion to the weight and shape of the item to be packed.

The subskids shall be positioned such that the packages can be handled by both cranes and fork-lift trucks.
The subskids shall be at least 10 cm high.

Any transverse subskids (60 mm to 80 mm thick) shall be bolted or securely nailed to the longitudinal or in-
termediate skids.

Figure 6. Construction of the bottom

4.5 Bundles
Any items of equipment which do not need to be packed in cases or crates, but whose size prevents them
from being shipped as separate packages, shall be packed to form cubic packages using channels irons se-
cured by threaded rods and screw shackles. Lock nuts shall be used to prevent the screws from coming
loose. The closures shall be so tightly fastened that the packed items cannot slide out even when loaded in a
slanted position.

Each package shall have at least 3 clips which shall be positioned no more than 2.5 m apart. The distance
between the last clip and the end of the bundle shall not exceed 1 m.

4.7 Transport frames

Large two-dimensional items are to be transported on frames. The design of these frames shall allow for han-
dling using normal lifting gear (crane and fork-lift truck) without the need for specially constructed girders.
Sheets shall be additionally secured with clips.

Figure 12. Transport frame for shaped sheets

4.8 Squared timber structures

Squared timber structures are used for packing items of equipment which are not susceptible to corrosion or
mechanical damage. They are also used for heavy goods which would not be adequately protected by a cra-
dle and for which the cost of cases or crates would be too high. This type of packing shall be constructed
analogous to section 4.5.

4.9 Packing for pipes

4.9.1 Carbon steel and stainless steel pipes
up to 40 mm in diameter = in cases
40 mm to 100 mm in diameter = in crates with the front ends completely closed

The pipes shall be preserved in accordance with the customer's technical specifications prior to packing. Car-
bon steel and stainless steel pipes shall always be packed separately.

4.9.2 Bituminised pipes

up to 40 mm diameter = packed in cases with separator sheets
between 40 mm and 100 mm diameter = packed in crates with closed ends and separator sheets
100 mm diameter and above = bundled with separator sheets
300 mm diameter and above = consult the customer

Figure 15. Bundles of bituminised pipes

4.9.3 Plastic pipes

4.10 Containers
The container in itself is not more than a transportation aid and has limited suitability as a type of packing.
 Page 9
ES 10 MS-ST-01 : 2002-03

Prior to being placed in containers, the items of equipment shall be suitably packed for loading and unloading
and for any additional storage periods required. The preservation of equipment is governed unconditionally by
2)
the regulations stated in section 2. As regards container loading, the IMO/ILO / UN ECE guidelines for the
packing of cargo transport units (CTUs) shall be strictly observed.

The containers used, especially shipper’s owned containers, shall conform with current IICL regulations (In-
3)
stitue of International Container Lessors) and shall have a valid CSC plaque / permit for the scheduled pe-
riod of use.

Containers may only be used for packing if written permission has been obtained from the customer.

5 Dangerous goods
The packing of dangerous goods is governed by the law covering the transportation of dangerous goods and
the current regulations and ordinances enacted by the respective carriers.

The following standards are particularly relevant:

4)
• IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), english version is binding,
• International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code),
• Dangerous Goods Ordinance Road and Railways (Germany) (GGVSE),
• European agreement concerning the international transport of dangerous goods by road (ADR),
• "RID" Regulations for the international transport of dangerous goods by rail in line with the standard provi-
sions specific to the contract for the international transport of goods by rail (CIM),
• Dangerous goods regulations for inland waterways (Germany) (GGVBinSch).

Country-specific regulations shall also apply.

To ensure that the correct procedures for the shipment and transport of dangerous goods are followed during
road and rail transportation to the shipping port/airport and during further transport by ship/aeroplane, the
supplier shall ensure that the appropriate goods classification is included with the packing lists, i.e.:
• UN number (UN = United Nations),
• class, code number,
• technical designation and proper shipping name (not the trade name),
• page from the English/German IMDG code,
5)
• EmS no. (pamphlet no. for procedures in the event of an accident) ,
• reference to “marine pollutant”,
• characteristics of the dangerous goods, and the flash point for all goods of class 3 and for certain goods of
classes 6.1, 8 and 9,
• identification number of the package.

This information shall be presented in writing together with the safety data sheet according to EC Directive
91/155/EEC.

Depending on the type of transport, the packing shall comply with the UN standard and be approved for dan-
gerous goods.

A “declaration of assuming responsibility” required for the transport of the dangerous goods shall be compiled
and signed by the customer.

The supplier/packing contractor's attention is drawn to the fact that he has sole responsibility for ensuring that
the above instructions are duly carried out and that he shall be held liable for any consequences resulting from
their non-fulfilment.

3.1.1 General
All vessels and equipment shall be designed for a min. pressure of 20 mbar and – 10 mbar. The manufacturer
shall prepare and be fully responsible for the stress analysis and the workshop drawings. The drawings shall
show material-specific data such as:
• Exact designation of the UP resins, lining materials and glass materials,
• Laminate structure of cylinders, heads, internals, nozzles, collar bushings and top laminates (joints),
• Additional materials (adhesive, curing agents, accelerators, stabilizers, filler compound),
• Fabrication process,
• Materials of parts attached by lamination.

The strength values must not be less than the min. strength values listed in Table 2.

Interlaminar tensile strength 4

The mechanical strength must meet the operating, working and test requirements outlined in the DS. The
inner coating and/or lining is not taken into consideration for the stress analysis. AD 2000-Merkblatt N 1 ap-
plies to pressure vessels according to the PED, whereas AD 2000-Merkblatt N 1 applies mutatis mutandis to
all other vessels.

The rating and design of the vessels and equipment and their accessories shall take into consideration all
forces affecting the vessels and equipment, including the weight of the insulation, the effect of the supporting
structures, wind loads, earthquake loads, any dynamic loads, the effects of hydrostatic tests and of the loads
encountered during assembly and transport.

Collars and flanges shall meet the requirements as per DIN 16966-7; DIN 16966-1 applies to nozzles.

3.1.2 Adhesion between lining and carrying laminate

According to EN 13121-3 the adhesive strength values of all lined vessels and equipment shall not be less
than those listed in the table below:
Table 3. Adhesive strength values (minimum values)

Adhesive strength values in N/mm
Bond
determined at room temperature
GF-UP/PVC 7.0
GF-UP/PVDF 5.0
GF-UP/PE 2.5
GF-UP/PP-H 3.5

3.2 Fabrication
For the personnel ordered for fabrication, certificates of the welder qualification (DVS 2212-1) and laminator
qualification (DVS 2220) have to exist and be documented. The processing instructions of the manufacturers
of the resins and semi-finished products shall be followed. The entire laminate structure should be built up by
the wet-in-wet method. If this is not possible, prolonged interruptions of the lamination work may involve the
risk that proper bonding cannot be achieved owing to hardening of the surface. If necessary, the surface must
be roughened prior to continuing the lamination work.

3.2.1 Wall structure

The wall structure of vessels without lining is subdivided into chemical-resistant coating, carrying body and
surface covering.

The wall structure of vessels with lining is subdivided into lining, bonding layer, carrying body and surface
covering.

The application of the chopped fibre/polymer spray-up method and the use of moulded covers and heads are
UF 09 EN-F02 M01 E 06-12

only permitted if approved by the orderer. The use of pure chopped-strand laminates is not permitted.

3.2.1.1 Lining
For components with a lining of thermoplastics, the lining structure shall be fabricated first. Care shall be taken
to keep the number of welded joints to a minimum. Preference shall be given to thermoformed and/or ex-
truded or injection-moulded component elements. Adhesive joints are only permitted if approved by the or-
derer.
 UHDE ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

Vessels and equipment of GRP ESD

based on unsaturated polyester resins 09 AU-ST-10
with and without lining REV. 0 Page 5 of 16

In the forming and folding processes it is to be ensured that the mean bending radii correspond to at least
twice the wall thickness. After thermoforming, the thickness of the wall shall not fall short of the specified wall
thickness.

3.2.1.2 Adhesive layer

Proper (full) adhesion must be obtained between carrying body and lining. Glass-fibre- and synthetic-fibre-
backed material (glass fibre or synthetic fibre for ≤ 60 °C; glass fibre only for > 60 °C) shall be used for the
various thermoplastics (PE, PP, PVDF).

Adhesion promoters which have been adapted to the properties of the lining and of the carrying body may
additionally be used to improve adhesion. The procedure selected shall be indicated in the drawings.

3.2.1.3 Chemical-resistant coating

The thickness of the chemical-resistant coating shall be ≥ 2.5 mm (according to EN 13121-2, section 4). The
chemical-resistant coating shall comprise a resin layer of approx. 0.4 mm thickness, reinforced by C glass
non-wovens, and its further build-up shall comprise E glass mats. Upon agreement, synthetic fibre non-
wovens or C glass staple fibre fabrics may be used.

The glass mass of the inner coating shall be between 25 % and 35 % (according to EN 13121-2, section 4)
and be distributed uniformly over the entire thickness and circumference.

Measures shall be taken to prevent the curing of the inner coating from being affected by air.

3.2.1.4 Carrying body

The carrying body shall be fabricated to meet the mechanical strength requirements (see section 3.1).
The glass mass shall be within the following limits:
30 % to 35 % for laminates from chopped strand layers
45 % to 55 % for laminates from roving fabrics
60 % to 70 % for laminates produced in the multi-layer process.
A structure of pure rovings (wound rovings and roving fabrics) is not permitted.
The assessment with regard to unevenness, e.g. resin concentrations, cracks, pores, wetting faults, etc.,
which might adversely affect the mechanical strength shall be carried out according to UN 2002-05.
In the case of process vessels with lining, the build-up of the carrying body shall start with a mat. This shall be
followed by placing further mats and/or fabrics and/or rovings of textile glass on top of this base mat until the
required wall thickness has been obtained.
When applying the carrying laminate, it must be ensured that the chemical-resistant coating in the case of
process vessels without lining is not compacted to an extent that the glass mass increases or is shifted (this
particularly applies to the further application of layers in the multi-layer process).

3.2.1.5 Surface covering

The surface covering shall comprise at least a textile glass mat, a layer of non-wovens and a weather-proof
resin layer of a max. thickness of 0.2 mm which is also resistant to the particular atmosphere. This layer is
provided with a UV absorber. Measures shall be taken to prevent the curing process from being affected by
air.
Surface covering shall not be dyed. For requirements to be met by the painting of the equipment refer to the
DS. Painting shall not be implemented until testing and inspection have been completed.

3.2.2 Permanent joints

A distinction is made between joints of parts to be attached to the inside or outside by lamination such as noz-
zles, fins and brackets, and butt joints and lap joints in the case of process vessels without lining. The struc-
ture of all joints is subdivided into lining or chemical-resistant coating, carrying and surface laminate.

3.2.2.1 Butt joints for vessels without lining

UF 09 EN-F02 M01 E 06-12

Linear misalignment shall be avoided, the misalignment of the edges may, however, be 30 % of the wall thick-
ness up to a maximum of 3 mm if an inner overlaminate is possible, and max. 1 mm if this is not possible. The
gap width may be 0.5 % of the diameter, max., however, 2 mm. The annular gap shall be filled with a glass-
fibre-reinforced resin filler of equivalent type.

All butt joints shall be fabricated with a laminate according to section 3.2.2.7, 3.2.2.8 and 3.2.2.9.

possible. The transitions of the lap shall be filled. All lap joints shall be fabricated with a laminate according to
section 3.2.2.7, 3.2.2.8 and 3.2.2.9.

3.2.2.3 Parts to be attached by lamination

When attaching parts to the inside or outside of vessels by lamination, complete adhesion over the entire sur-
face area is to be ensured. The gaps shall be filled with a resin filler of equivalent type. Fillets shall be formed
at the transitions (see UN 2002-03).

The necessary overlaminate shall start with at least one textile glass mat. Its further build-up shall consist of a
laminate according to section 3.2.2.7.

For laminated joints on the outside of the vessel, the carrying laminate shall be followed by a surface layer
according to section 3.2.2.8.

Nozzles shall be attached to the vessel wall according to UN 2002-03.

Collars and fixed flanges shall be attached by wet moulding.

For laminated joints inside of vessels without lining, the carrying laminate shall be followed by a surface layer
according to section 3.2.2.9.

For nozzle sizes ≥ DN 50 and vessel diameters ≥ 600 mm, an overlaminate according to section 3.2.2.9 shall
be applied to the inside of vessels without lining.

Parts attached by lamination shall be made of stainless steel (1.4571, 1.4541 or 1.4404 according to
EN 10088-1 to -3).

3.2.2.4 Linings
All permanent joints of thermoplastic linings are welded joints. Welded joints shall be made by qualified weld-
ers only. The welder shall be controlled by qualified supervising personnel and prove their qualification by
inspections and test welds to be repeated at regular intervals (see DVS 2212-1, EN 13121-3 Annex F).

Welding of thermoplastics shall be done in compliance with DIN 16960-1 and DVS 2206 in particular which
contain data on the welding procedures, fillers, types of welds and bead sequence and quality of the welded
joints.

The structural design of the welded joint shall be selected according to DVS 2205-3.

The following welding procedures are allowed: hot-gas string-bead welding with a round wire (WZ), heated-
tool butt welding (HS) and hot-gas extrusion welding (WE). Fins and reinforcements may also be welded with
section wire.

As far as possible, the higher-ranking welding procedure shall be used in each case (see DVS 2203-1). The
welds shall be shown in the workshop drawings by indicating the welding procedure as per DIN 1910-3, with
the relevant symbol for the form of the weld as per EN 22553, including the number of the individual welding
wires and classification group according to DVS 2202-1.

The quality of the weld shall be in line with DVS 2202-1. In deviation from DVS 2202-1, however, a misalign-
ment of 25 % of the wall thickness (max. 1 mm) is permitted.

The welds are provided with a backing at the root.

UF 09 EN-F02 M01 E 06-12

Intersecting welds shall be avoided.

The min. permissible misalignment of longitudinal welds is v = 6 × wall thickness but at least 50 mm.

The surfaces of the parts to be joined by welding shall be free of dirt, moisture, grease and chips. Cleaning,
drying or machining shall be performed immediately prior to welding. Mating surfaces shall also be machined

The fabrication inspection serves to check if the requirements according to sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 have
been met.

The inspections shall be performed on nozzle cut-outs. If no suitable specimens can be taken from the nozzle
cut-outs, the material specimens shall be taken from test pieces which have been fabricated simultaneously
with the actual component, and which must be equal to the component as regards fabrication, structure and
composition.

The nozzle cut-outs shall be marked with the location of the cut-out and be stored.

The nozzle cut-outs or the specimens fabricated simultaneously with the actual vessel or equipment must be
subjected to heat treatment together with the vessel or equipment.

cording to DVS 2206. The quality of the welded joints shall be tested on welded specimens which have been
fabricated simultaneously according to DVS 2203-1 to -5.

The welds shall be subjected to a visual inspection and a leak test and the thickness of the lining measured
prior to the application of the laminate.

The welds of the lining shall be subjected to a further leak test after the component has been completed and
the pressure test carried out (DVS 2206).

When testing the welded joints for tightness by means of high voltage, by filling the vessel or equipment with
water or by using the halogen alkane method according to DVS 2206, no leaks or breakthroughs may occur.
Due to the risk of stress corrosion cracking, no wetting agent solutions may be used as leak indicators.

4.3.2.2 Mechanical strength

4.3.2.9 Surface finish

A visual check for any cracks, blisters, etc. shall be performed, if necessary using a suitable light source
(counter-light) in accordance with UN 2002-05.

4.3.3 Pressure or leak test

4.3.3.1 Purpose of test
The pressure test serves to determine whether the pressure vessel or pressure vessel components are tight
with regard to the leak test fluid under test pressure and to ensure that no deformation or damage occurs
which might be serious from the aspect of safety.

The pressure or leak test shall be performed with water. For additional requirements (e.g. gas pressure test)
refer to the DS.

A Scope
The following examples apply to the design of vessels and equipment of UP-GF with and without lining. Prior
to order placement, the configurations to be used shall be agreed upon between orderer and manufacturer.
They do not constitute a substitute for the computational analysis. Special cases may require deviations here-
from and supplements hereto.

Note: This standard constitutes the first attempt to prepare a collection of typical configurations in the field of
designing vessels and equipment of UP-GF. This standard does not claim to be complete. It is requested that
Krupp Uhde GmbH, dept. standardization be informed of the experience gained when applying these con-
figurations in practice. Any proposals for expanding this standard should likewise be directed to the above
address.

B General notes
B1 These typical configurations do not constitute fabrication documents.

B2 All dimensions are minimum dimensions.

B3 For reasons of stability and fabrication, nozzles shall not have a diameter of less than DN 50.

B4 The instructions for the configuration of joints for vessels and equipment of UP-GF without lining also
apply if a lining (e.g. rubber-lining or duroplastic lining) is subsequently added.

B5 The design of welded joints for thermoplastic linings shall be selected according to DVS specification
2205, Part 3.

B6 Wall thickness s4 equals the max. dimension which results from either the calculation of the crimps or
from the calculation of the thickness of the overlaminate for the connection between cylinder and
head (s2 + overlaminate).

B7 The calculation of the length of the overlaminate with Da ⋅ S 4 and Da ⋅ S A corresponds to AD specifi-
cation N 1 and constitutes the min. length of the overlaminate.

B8 All screwed joints shall be provided with washers.

B9 The technical delivery specifications according to UN 2002-01 Part 1 and UN 2002-02 Part 1 apply as
regards requirements and tests performed on vessels and equipment of UP-GF.

B 10 The inspection glasses provided on vessels and equipment fabricated according to this standard shall
be designed according to DIN 28121.

B 11 The representation of the individual layers of laminate s2, s3, s4 etc. does not permit any conclusions
to be drawn as regards the sequence of fabrication.

B 12 Up to DN 600, the companion flanges shall be provided in the form of a collar with loose flange.

1 Scope
This Uhde standard applies to the transport and erection of vessels and tanks of glass-fibre-reinforced plastics
on the basis of unsaturated polyester resins (GRP), with and without liner. It also contains specifications for
the design of the foundations and catch basins.

2 General
Transport and erection may only be performed by the vessel/tank manufacturer or by contractors who are
experienced in this field and who have at their disposal suitable equipment, facilities and transport means as
well as adequately trained personnel. The relevant rules for the prevention of accidents shall be observed to
prevent any hazards for the personnel and third parties.

The contractor shall take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to the vessels/tanks during loading,
transport, unloading, temporary storage and erection. When selecting the location for installation, care shall be
taken to ensure the stability of the vessel/tank.

3 Transport instructions
3.1 Preparations for transport
The vessel/tank shall be cleaned prior to dispatch. In particular, all traces of mould release agents, fibres,
dust, etc. shall be removed. All nozzles and openings shall be temporarily closed or covered in order to pro-
tect the flange faces and to prevent the ingress of foreign matter. However, care shall be taken to ensure that
air can continue to enter the vessel/tank without any obstruction.

The vessel/tank shall be prepared for transport in such a manner, e.g. by reinforcing structures (racks, girders,
braces), that no impermissible distortions and vibrations occur during loading, transport and unloading. It is recom-
mended that the lifting points for large vessels/tanks be indicated in a loading sketch. The loading area of the transport
vehicle shall be of the type that prevents damage to the vessel/tank by concentrated impact or pressure loads.

3.2 Loading and unloading

Impact loads shall be avoided when lifting, transporting and depositing the vessel/tank. Straps of adequate
width and suitable shim plates shall be used during loading and unloading. Nozzles or other projecting com-
ponents shall not be used as attachments for the lifting gear. Chains and ropes shall only be attached via a
beam to the lifting lugs provided for this purpose. Rolling the vessel/tank over its nozzles or flanges and drag-
ging the vessel/tank over the ground are not permitted.

3.3 Transport
During transport, the vessel/tank shall be held in place by suitable means to prevent impermissible shifting.

Date Prepared Date Checked Date Approved

© 1997 Krupp Uhde GmbH Technical discipline: EN-EP

Page 2 UN 2002-04 Part 1

The vessel/tank shall not become damaged by the fixing means used.

During periods of frost, vessels/tanks which are provided with a thermoplastic liner (especially PVC) shall only
be transported if special measures are taken.

3.4 Temporary storage

If temporary storage is required, the vessel/tank shall only be stored on suitable subsoil (no broken rock or the
tike). In the event of prolonged storage periods, the vessels/tanks shall be protected against damage and the
effects of storms.

4 Erection
4.1 Foundation and catch basin
The bearing strength of the subsoil within the area of the foundation or the catch basin shall be uniform. The
foundation shall be of rigid design.

In the case of horizontal vessels/tanks, the bases for the steel saddles shall be spaced as specified. They
shall be of the same height and level. The coating (paintwork) or lining, which might be required for sealing the
catch basin, shall be complete, i.e. it shall also be provided underneath the vessel/tank. In the event of any
leakage’s, the sealing materials shall be resistant to the stored fluid for a period of at least three months. If
leakage’s can continually be expected due to the operating conditions concerned, sealing materials shall be
selected which are permanently resistant to the fluid stored.

In flood areas, the vessels/tanks shall be erected in such a manner that they can neither be washed away nor
become damaged when empty.

4.2 Vessels/tanks with flat bottoms

4.2.1 Preparation of location
The entire flat bottom shall be placed on a level and rigid foundation. An intermediate layer of at least 30 mm
thickness (e.g. bituminous sand, mortar bed, polymer concrete, plastic cement or water glass cement) shall be
provided between foundation and vessel/tank bottom. This intermediate layer shall be allowed to harden after
the erection of the vessel/tank, an adequate portion of the erection period being allowed for this purpose. In
order to prevent the intermediate layer from adhering to the bottom of the vessel/tank, plastic sheeting shall be
placed between bottom and intermediate layer.

In the case of vessels/tanks used for the storage of liquids which are detrimental to the groundwater, a sealing
layer of at least 2 mm thickness (e.g. plates of PE or PVC) shall be provided between foundation and interme-
diate layer. The sealing layer shall project on all sides up to a height of min. 100 mm above the vessel/tank
bottom (see Figure 1).

4.2.2 Assembly
The vessel/tank shall be lifted by the crane lugs or holders provided for this purpose and raised into the verti-
cal position. When assembling the vessel/tank outdoors, the vessel/tank shall be protected against wind loads
by means of an anchoring structure according to the approved drawings. An anchoring structure might also be
necessary for vessels/tanks to be installed in buildings.

Suitable measures shall be taken to ensure that the entire surface of the vessel/tank bottom rests on the in-
termediate layer. This can, for instance, be achieved by filling the vessel/tank with water up to a level of ap-
prox. 1000 mm. When fastening the anchoring structure, the nuts shall be tightened to such an extent that no
impermissible constraints occur-on the vessel/tank. The nuts shall be secured by lock nuts

4.3 Horizontal vessel/tank

4.3.1 Preparation of location
The vessel/tank is supported by two or more steel saddles on the prepared foundation. The number of steel
saddles and their spacing are shown in the approved drawings. Within the area of the steel saddles. the foun-
dation shall be level and permit horizontal installation of the vessel/tank on the steel saddles.

4.3.2 Assembly
The vessel/tank shall be lifted horizontally by means of suitable lifting gear and gently deposited at the speci-
fied location. It may either be delivered according to transport type A, i.e. with the saddles fastened to the
vessel/tank, or according to transport type B, i.e. without the steel saddles.

4.3.2.1 Transport type A (according to Figure 2)

The horizontal vessel/tank is delivered on the number of steel saddles required, which are fastened by means
of steel bands to the specified supporting points marked on the vessel/tank. for lifting the vessel/tank by crane,
carrying beams and straps according to Figure 2 shall be used. In the case of short vessels/tanks, the carrying
 UN 2002-04 Part 1 Page 3

beam can be dispensed with if horizontal suspension of the vessel/tank is ensured. Only straps of adequate
width shall be used ((slinging wire ropes or chains around the vessel/tank is not permitted).

4.3.2.2 Transport type B (according to Figure 3)

The horizontal vessel/tank and the steel saddles are delivered separately. In the workshop, the walls of the
vessel/tank have been permanently marked with the exact number and position of the steel saddles required.

First, the steel saddles shall be placed on the prepared bases at the specified spacing. Thereafter, the ves-
sel/tank shall be lowered by means of a carrying beam and straps as shown in Figure 3 and placed on the
steel saddles. In the case of short vessels, the carrying beam can be dispensed with if horizontal suspension
of the vessel/tank is ensured. Only straps of adequate width shall be used (slinging wire ropes or chains
around the vessel/tank is not permitted).

The position of the steel saddles shall be corrected and the saddles fitted into the marked areas of the ves-
sel/tank immediately before the vessel/tank is finally deposited.

4.3.2.3 Bolting of the steel saddles

By placing shim plates underneath the steel saddles, all saddles shall be aligned in such a manner that the
vessel/tank rests on them horizontally and that uniform contact between saddles and vessel/tank is achieved.
The steel saddles shall be aligned exactly in the axial direction. Subsequently. the anchor bolts shall be in-
serted and grouted.

Alternatively, plugs may be used In this case. the instructions of the plug manufacturer shall be observed.

4.4 Miscellaneous
When connecting other items (e.g. piping) to the vessel/tank, constraints shall be excluded. Care shall be
taken to ensure that, apart from the loads (e.g. caused by railings, walkways, ladders, etc.) which have been
taken into consideration for the design, no other external loads can additionally affect the vessel/tank. An ad-
ditional support shall be provided for all attachments (e.g. agitators, platforms), which cannot be supported by
the vessel/tank due to their load.

It shall not be possible to shut off ventilation lines. Care shall be taken to ensure that the size of the ventilation
lines is adequate and that the lines are in proper condition. Vessels/tanks which are not installed in catch ba-
sins shall be provided with a start-up protection device.

1 Scope
This Krupp Uhde standard applies to the tests/inspections of process vessels and equipment (hereinafter
referred to as process vessels) made of glass reinforced thermosetting plastics:
1)
a) with a highly resinous core sheet (chemical coating resistant to chemicals)
b) with a liner of thermoplastic plastics, such as
• polyvinyl chloride rigid (PVC-U) of normal impact strength
• polyvinyl chloride rigid (PVC-HI) of raised impact strength
• high-density polyethylene (PE-HD)
• polypropylene (PP) homopolymer and copolymer
• polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)

The standard describes manufacturing deficiencies in order to facilitate inspection and assessment of the
process vessels with due consideration for graduated quality requirements specified in categories.
The implementation of the Krupp Uhde standard and the measures required for fulfilment are governed by
applicable statutory regulations, generally accepted technical standards or laid down in general specifications.

2 Requirements
