24、n polyethylene intended for the rotational molding process. Any useof regrind, recycled or reprocessed materials, or combinations of such materials, shall not rely upon the performance data of theiroriginal constituents, but must meet the requirements of this specification in its own right.5.1.1 The

25、 polyethylene shall have a stress-cracking resistance of 500 h minimum F50 in accordance with Test Method D1693,Condition A, full-strength stress-cracking agent. The test specimens shall be compression molded or rotational molded. Ifcompression molded, Procedure C of Annex A1 of Practice D4703 shall

26、 be followed for both types of polyethylene with aminimum platen temperature of 177C (350F) forType II materials.The temperature forType I (cross-linkable) polyethylene shallbe 197C (390F) and the platen shall be kept closed under full pressure for five minutes at the specified temperature in order

27、tobring about the crosslinking reaction. If the test specimens are rotational molded, the conditions for rotational molding shall besimilar to the conditions used for molding a tank from this polyethylene.NOTE 2The stress-cracking test is not used as an indicator of general chemical resistance of a

28、polyethylene. Refer to the polyethylene suppliers ormolders chemical-resistance chart for information on the resistance of the polyethylene to specific chemicals or products, or test specific products orchemicals prior to use.5.2 All tanks used for outdoor installation shall contain an ultraviolet s

Design Requirements for Both Type I and Type II Tanks6.1 Cylinder Shell (Unsupported P

33、ortion of Tanks)The minimum required wall thickness of the cylindrical shell at any fluidlevel (F) shall be determined by the following equation,equations, but shall not be less than 4.7 mm (0.187 in.) thick. The toleranceindicated in 9.1.2 applies to these dimensions.T 5P 3OD/2 SD (1)HL 5HM 2F (1)w

34、here:HL = head at level F, m (ft),HM = maximum fluid head, m (ft), andF = any fluid level, m (ft).For illustration, see Fig. 1.T 5P 3OD/2 SD (2)where:T = wall thickness, mm (in.),P = pressure, MPa (0.0098 MPa/m-H2O SG H(m), or psi (0.433 psi/ft-H2O SG H(ft),P = pressure, MPa (0.0098 MPa/m-H2O SG HL

35、(m), or psi (0.433 psi/ft-H2O SG HL (ft),SG = specific gravity of fluid,H = fluid head, m (ft),HL = head at level F, m (ft),OD = outside diameter of tank, mm (in.), andSD = hydrostatic design stress, MPa (psi).6.1.1 The hydrostatic design stress that is used to determine the minimum wall thickness a

36、t any fluid level must be based onhoop stress data for the resin. The hoop stress data, obtained in accordance with the procedures of Test Method D2837, providea hydrostatic-design-basis for the resin. The hydrostatic-design-basis must be reduced by a service factor to determine the actualhydrostati

37、c design stress. The maximum service factor shall be 0.5 for wall thicknesses less than 9.5 mm (0.375 in.). Forthicknesses equal to or greater than 9.5 mm (0.375 in.), the maximum service factor shall be 0.475. For example, if thehydrostatic-design-basis for the resin is 8.7 MPa (1260 psi), the hydr

38、ostatic design stress for a tank with wall thickness greater than9.5 mm (0.375 in.) is 0.475 8.7 = 4.1 MPa (or 0.475 1260 = 600 psi).6.1.2 Tank hoop stresses shall be derated for service above 23C (73.4F).6.2 Cylinder Shell (Externally Supported Tanks)The minimum required wall thickness for the cyli

39、nder straight shell must besufficient to support its own weight in an upright position without any external support, but shall not be less than 4.7 mm (0.187in.) thick. The tolerance indicated in 9.1.2 applies to these dimensions.FIG. 1 Illustration of Cylinder ShellD1998 1536.3 Top HeadMust be inte

40、grally molded with the cylinder shell. The minimum thickness of the top head shall be equal to thetop of the straight wall.6.4 Bottom HeadMust be integrally molded with the cylinder shell. The minimum thickness for a full-supported flat-bottomhead shall be 4.7 mm (0.187 in.). The radius of the botto

41、m knuckle of a flat-bottom tank shall not be less than 25.4 mm (1 in.)for tanks with a diameter less than 1.8 m (6 ft) and 38.1 mm (1.5 in.) for a diameter greater than 1.8 m (6 ft). The minimumthickness of the radius shall not be less than the maximum thickness of the cylinder wall.6.5 Bottom Knuck

42、le RadiusThe minimum thickness of the outer radius shall not be less than the maximum thickness of thecylinder wall.NOTE 4Since it is difficult to control the absolute radius dimension and, in the absence of any FEA or scientific analysis, it is recommended that theoutside radius of the bottom knuck

43、le of a flat-bottom tank not be less than 25.4 mm (1 in.) for tanks with a diameter less than 1.8 m (6 ft) and 38.1 mm(1.5 in.) for a diameter greater than 1.8 (6 ft).6.6 Open-Top TanksThe top edge of open tanks shall be reinforced by design to maintain its shape after installation.7.
