NYC Fire Code 2014 > 32 Cryogenic Fluids > 3203 General Requirements > 3203.1 Cryogenic Container
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Cryogenic containers shall comply with the requirements of FC 3203.1.1 through 3203.1.3.3 and FC Chapter 27.

3203.1.1 Cryogenic Container Standards

Cryogenic containers shall be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or United States Department of Transportation regulations, or as otherwise approved.

3203.1.1.1 Pressure Gauges

Cryogenic containers shall be provided with pressure gauges. The maximum face reading for dial-type gauges shall not be less than 133 percent nor more than 250 percent of the MAWP of the cryogenic container.

3203.1.1.2 Liquid Level-Indicating Devices

Cryogenic containers shall be provided with a liquid level-indicating device. It shall be unlawful to use cryogenic containers with glass liquid level gauges in direct contact with the contents of such containers.

3203.1.2 Flood Hazard

Stationary cryogenic containers located in areas of special flood hazard or on the premises of Group I-2 occupancies that are hospitals located in shaded X-Zones (as defined in Section G201.2 of Appendix G of the Building Code) shall comply with Section G307.5 of the Building Code.

3203.1.3 Foundations and Supports

Cryogenic containers shall be installed upon substantial concrete or masonry foundations or structural steel supports on firm concrete or masonry foundations. Cryogenic containers shall be supported to prevent the concentration of excessive loads on the supporting portion of the shell. Foundations for horizontal cryogenic containers shall be constructed to accommodate expansion and contraction of the cryogenic container. Foundations shall be provided to support the weight of vaporizers and heat exchangers.

3203.1.3.1 Temperature Effects

When cryogenic container foundations or supports are subject to exposure to temperatures below -130°F (-89.9°C), the foundations or supports shall be constructed of materials to withstand the low-temperature effects of cryogenic fluid spillage.

3203.1.3.2 Corrosion Protection

Portions of cryogenic containers in contact with foundations or saddles shall be painted to protect against corrosion. Precautions shall be taken to avoid or minimize corrosion due to galvanic action.

3203.1.3.3 Fill Connection Supports

Fill connection supports shall be designed and maintained to withstand the repeated application of force required to connect and disconnect hoses of cargo tanks.
