5806.3 Above-Ground Tanks for Liquid Hydrogen

Fire Code 2018 of Kansas > 58 Flammable Gases and Flammable Cryogenic Fluids > 5806 Flammable Cryogenic Fluids > 5806.3 Above-Ground Tanks for Liquid Hydrogen
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Above-ground tanks for the storage of liquid hydrogen shall be in accordance with Sections 5806.3.1 through 5806.3.2.1.

5806.3.1 Construction of the Inner Vessel

The inner vessel of storage tanks in liquid hydrogen service shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Section VIII, Division 1, of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and shall be vacuum jacketed in accordance with Section 5806.3.2.

5806.3.2 Construction of the Vacuum Jacket (Outer Vessel)

The vacuum jacket used as an outer vessel for storage tanks in liquid hydrogen service shall be of welded steel construction designed to withstand the maximum internal and external pressure to which it will be subjected under operating conditions to include conditions of emergency pressure relief of the annular space between the inner and outer vessel. The jacket shall be designed to withstand a minimum collapsing pressure differential of 30 psi (207 kPa).

5806.3.2.1 Vacuum-Level Monitoring

A connection shall be provided on the exterior of the vacuum jacket to allow measurement of the pressure within the annular space between the inner and outer vessel. The connection shall be fitted with a bellows-sealed or diaphragm-type valve equipped with a vacuum gauge tube that is shielded to protect against damage from impact.
