Certificate 10847
Certificate No.: SU 10847 (REN 1)
Certificate Holder: AMTROL Inc
1) Amtrol Inc., to design and manufacture means of containment used or intended to be used in importing, offering for transport, handling, or transporting dangerous goods in a manner that does not comply with section 5.1 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992,
2) any person to sell, offer for sale, deliver, distribute, import or use a standardized means of containment in a manner that does not comply with Part 8 (Means of Containment) of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992, and
3) any person to handle, offer for transport, transport, or import, by road or railway vehicle or by ship on a domestic voyage, dangerous goods included in Class 2, Gases, in a manner that does not comply with Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety marks), sections 5.1, 5.2, subparagraphs 5.10(1)(a)(ii), 5.10(1)(b)(iii), 5.10(1)(d)(iii), subsection 5.10(2), Part 6 (Training), and Part 8 (Accidental Release and Imminent Accidental Release Report Requirements) of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, if:
(a) the dangerous goods are contained in, and are not intended to be discharged from, a means of containment that is designed for use in water pump systems;
(b) each means of containment is filled with UN1002, AIR, COMPRESSED, with not more than 23.5 per cent oxygen, by volume, Class 2.2, UN1066, NITROGEN, COMPRESSED, Class 2.2, or UN1046, HELIUM, COMPRESSED, Class 2.2;
(c) after filling, each means of containment is subjected to a leak-test;
(d) the internal pressure in each means of containment at 20°C when filled for transport with the gas is less than or equal to 345 kPa;
(e) each means of containment is packed in a strong outer packaging during transport;
(f) subject to conditions (g) to (q) of this certificate, each means of containment was designed, manufactured, tested, and marked in accordance with the requirements of ANSI/WSC PST 2000-2016 Standard, "Standard Pressurized Water Storage Tank", published by the Water Systems Council in February 2016;
(g) each means of containment was manufactured by the certificate holder at 1400 Division Road, West Warwick, RI, U.S.A., in accordance with Amtrol Inc.'s design calculations and models on file with the Chief, Approvals and Special Regulatory Projects, Regulatory Affairs Branch, Transportation of Dangerous Goods Directorate, Transport Canada;
(h) the means of containment were manufactured under a quality management system in accordance with International Standard ISO 9001:2008, "Quality management Systems - Requirements", published by the International Organization for Standardization, registered with a quality management system registrar (registration organization) accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), or a foreign quality management system registrar recognized by the SCC;
(i) the means of containment are welded carbon steel containers with heads concave to pressure;
(j) the means of containment have a maximum outside diameter of 660.4 mm, and a maximum water capacity of 450 L;
(k) the materials of construction for the shells and the ends (heads) comply with the requirements of ASTM Standard A1008/A1008M, 2016, "Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, Cold-Rolled, Carbon, Structural, High-Strength Low-Alloy and High-Strength Low-Alloy with Improved Formability, Solution Hardened, and Bake Hardenable", published by ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials);
(l) materials of shells and ends of finished means of containment are identified by a suitable method during manufacture to provide traceability of the metal to its heat number;
(m) subject to condition (n) of this certificate, the wall stress at a pressure equal to three times the filling pressure at 20°C does not exceed 138 MPa using the following formula:
Where S = wall stress in MPa;
P = pressure equal to three times the filling pressure at 20°C in MPa;
d = inside diameter of the means of containment in mm;
t = minimum wall thickness of the means of containment in mm;
(n) for means of containment with an inside diameter greater than 265 mm, the wall stress calculated in accordance with condition (m) of this certificate does not exceed 172 MPa;
(o) subject to condition (p) of this certificate, the minimum design burst pressure is at least 6 times the filling pressure at 20°C;
(p) for means of containment with an inside diameter greater than 265 mm, the minimum design burst pressure is at least 8 times the filling pressure at 20°C;
(q) each means of containment was subjected to a pneumatic pressure test for at at least 30 s at a minimum pressure of at least 1.0 MPa and showed no leaks or other defects;
(r) when the gross mass of dangerous goods offered for transport by one consignor to one destination is greater than 500 kg, Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety Marks) except sections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, Part 6 (Training), and Part 8 (Accidental Release and Imminent Accidental Release Report Requirements) of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations apply; and
(s) a copy of this Equivalency Certificate accompanies the dangerous goods.
This Equivalency Certificate authorizes the transport of pre-pressurized diaphragm-type tanks used in water storage applications. The dangerous goods are a permanent component of the means of containment. The means of containment are for single-trip shipment through the distribution chain to the point of use (installation sites). An equivalent level of safety is provided by requiring that the means of containment be designed with a significant safety margin against burst when used in the service specified herein.
Under Canadian Law, a foreign manufacturer of non-specification means of containment cannot be charged with an offence under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 for failure to comply with the conditions of a Equivalency Certificate. However, certain remedies under the Act are available to Transport Canada in this eventuality.
