ADR module

Minimum thickness and test pressure according to EN 14025 / ADR / RID

EN 14025: Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods

Program Description

With the ADR module the required minimum thicknesses and the calculation pressure according to EN 14025 and ADR can be calculated. Appendix A of EN 14025 quotes extracts from ADR (European Con-vention on the Transport of Dangerous Goods) and RID (Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail).

EN 14025 requires consideration of a dynamic pressure Pdyn under twice the gravitational acceleration 2*g in axial direction. The calculation pressure PC acc. to ADR depends also on the vapor pressure at 50°C pvap and the boiling point (over or under 35°C). A table for the test pressure is given in EN 14025 Appendix A.4.

The minimum thickness acc. to ADR/RID is calculated with equations (A.3), (A.4) and (A.5). Some condi-tions for the material according to Appendix A are checked.

The input data and required equations are listed in the calculation mask of the program.
