This PAS specifies requirements for a single-use flexitank used for the intermodal transport of a liquid commodity (that is not classified or regulated as dangerous goods) in a general purpose (GP) freight container. It is applicable to single-layer and multilayer flexitanks made from polyethylene 2)<\/sup> <\/span>, polyethylene blends and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is applicable to flexitanks capable of carrying a commodity with a maximum mass of \u226424 000 kg and with a maximum volume of \u226424 000 L.<\/p>\n

It specifies requirements for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    the material properties of the flexitank film and, where fitted, the sleeve;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    the leak tightness of the loading\/discharging valve(s);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    the flexitank system\u2019s resistance to a rail impact defined as a 2 g<\/i> (gravitational unit) retardation or acceleration force;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    the provision of flexitank information.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It describes a method for testing the leak tightness of the loading\/discharging valve(s).<\/p>\n

    It also describes a method of determining the flexitank\u2019s suitability for intermodal transport by means of a rail impact test of the flexitank when installed in a GP freight container together with its restraining system.<\/p>\n

    This PAS does not cover requirements or test methods for multi-use flexitanks or flexitanks used for storage.<\/p>\n

    This PAS only covers flexitanks for use in GP freight containers and not those used in other types of freight containers, such as reefers.<\/p>\n

    This PAS does not cover compatibility testing of the commodity with the flexitank film.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n NOTE 1<\/i>\n <\/div>\n

    The flexitank manufacturer might need to carry out compatibility testing to determine whether a flexitank is suitable for carrying a specific commodity. The compatibility of the flexitank and commodity depends on the chemical and physical properties of both the flexitank film and the commodity.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    This PAS does not provide guidance on the operation (i.e. the installation, loading, transport, discharge and disposal) of a flexitank.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n NOTE 2<\/i>\n <\/div>\n

    Recommendations on the operation of the flexitank system are given in COA\u2019s publication,<\/i> Code of Practice for Flexitanks [1]<\/span>.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
