    The document discusses requirements for fuel tanks on vehicles, including that the outer jacket of LNG fuel tanks must resist an outer pressure of 1 bar and withstand various accelerations without damage depending on the vehicle category. It also addresses support requirements when exposed to those accelerations.

    4.2.1.

    2 Outer jacket

    The outer jacket shall be designed to resist an outer pressure of 1 bar. (see 4.5.2)

    4.2.2 Accelerations

    4.2.2.1 General

    The fuel tank and its accessories shall be mounted and protected so that the accelerations shown in Table 1
    can be absorbed without structural damage to the fuel tank and its accessories. No uncontrolled release of
    LNG is permitted.

    Table 1 — Accelerations

    Vehicle categories Accelerations


    Vehicles of categories M1 and N1 20 g in the direction of travel
    8 g horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel
    Vehicles of categories M2 and N2 10 g in the direction of travel
    5 g horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel
    Vehicles of categories M3 and N3 6,6 g in the direction of travel
    5 g horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel
    The vehicle categories include the following :
    ⎯ Category M1 : Vehicles used for the transportation of passengers and comprising not more than eight seats in
    addition to the driver's seat.
    ⎯ Category M2 : Vehicles used for the transportation of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the
    driver's seat, and having a maximum mass that does not exceed 5 000 kg.
    ⎯ Category M3 : Vehicles used for the transportation of passengers, comprising more than eight seats in addition to the
    driver's seat, and having a maximum mass exceeding 5 000 kg.
    ⎯ Category N1 : Vehicles used for the transportation of goods and having a maximum mass that does not exceed
    3 500 kg
    ⎯ Category N2 : Vehicles used for the transportation of goods and having a maximum mass exceeding 3 500 kg, but not
    exceeding 12 000 kg.
    ⎯ Category N3 : Vehicles used for the transportation of goods and having a maximum mass exceeding 12 000 kg.

    4.2.2.2 Inner and outer support

    When exposed to the accelerations described in Table 1, the stress in the support elements shall not exceed
    the minimum ultimate tensile strength of the material (Rm, calculated according with the linear stress model).

    The allowable stress in the support elements may not have to be calculated if it can be demonstrated that the
    fuel tank supports the accelerations given in Table 1 without any structural damage to the inner tank or its
    supports.

    Acceptable calculation methods include:

    • finite element ;

    • finite difference ;

    • boundary element ;

    • established calculation method.

    In these calculations static loads shall be substituted for static plus dynamic loads.
