What is PD CEN/TR 13121-5 - GRP tanks and vessels about?
PD CEN/TR 13121-5 is the fifth part of a series of published documents that specific examples for the calculation of GRP tanks and vessels.
PD CEN/TR 13121-5 gives guidance for the design of a vessel using the standard EN 13121-3 GRP tanks and vessels for use above ground. The calculation is done according to the advanced design method given in EN 13121-3:2016, 7.9.3 with approved laminates and laminate properties.
Who is PD CEN/TR 13121-5 - GRP tanks and vessels for?
PD CEN/TR 13121-5 on GRP tanks and vessels for use above ground is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of GRP tank and vessels
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 13121-5- GRP tanks and vessels?
GRP vessels. GRP vessels (Glass reinforced plastic vessels) are very similar to the GRP Tanks (Glass reinforced plastic tanks) which also have a variety of applications and are very common in the chemical and food and drink industries for storing a wide range of materials, some of which are classified as hazardous.
PD CEN/TR 13121-5 provides the principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability, and durability of structures. PD CEN/TR 13121-5 provides guidance on the design and manufacturing of GRP tanks and vessels that involve several different materials such as resins, thermoplastics, reinforcing fibers, and several different manufacturing methods.
PD CEN/TR 13121-5 allows the designer to select the laminate construction best suited to the available manufacturing facilities and hence be most cost-effective. As a user of PD CEN/TR 13121-5, you can be ensured of the characteristics of GRP tanks and vessels. With obedience and compliance to PD CEN/TR 13121-5, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality GRP tanks and vessels for use above ground. PD CEN/TR 13121-5 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
