Description
Summary:To promote the establishment of useful standards in the fields of explosion protection, operator protection, and environmental protection, when underground storage tanks at petrol stations are filled with petrol from road tankers, fundamental investigations were carried out at the Physikalisch–Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig, Germany. Within the scope of a research project, the pressure and temperature conditions in the road tanker and in the storage tanks of petrol-station systems, together with the flow rates in product lines and gas-recovery pipes, were determined during the filling of the underground storage tanks. The parameters influencing the potential release of fuel vapours into the atmosphere were determined under conditions as close as possible to those found in practice.
