AS 2809.6:2019 PDF
This Standard specifies requirements for the design and construction of road tankers for the transport of certain listed cryogenic liquids. It provides for vehicles which are specifically designed and constructed as road tankers, or which are conventional trucks provided with transportable tanks for use as tankers.
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee ME-057, Road Tankers for Hazardous Liquids and Gases, to supersede AS 2809.6—2001. It is complementary to AS 2809.1, Road tank vehicles for dangerous goods, Part 1: General requirements, and provides requirements that are specifically applicable to road tankers for cryogenic liquids.
This revision includes the following changes:
(a) Removing requirements within the scope of other Standards that have been adequately covered in those Standards, for example, pressure vessel requirements within the scope of AS 1210, Pressure vessels, and inspection requirements within the scope of AS/NZS 3788, Pressure equipment — Inservice inspection.
(b) Revision of LNG coupling requirements to align with international Standards and AS 3961, The storage and handling of liquefied natural gas, and allow for the use of dry break couplings.
(c) Revision of the outlet control requirements for flammable and toxic cargo and cargo transfer controls.
