(a)
					 Each air tank shall be protected by 1 or more safety valves and other
					 indicating and controlling devices that will insure safe operation of the tank.
					 If the tank has a volumetric capacity in excess of 2,000 gallons, it shall be
					 fitted with at least 2 safety valves, the smallest of which shall have a
					 relieving capacity of at least 50 percent of the relieving capacity of the
					 largest valve.
(b) Safety relief
					 valves shall:
(1) Be constructed and installed
					 in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section
					 VIII.
(2) Be located and installed
					 so that they cannot be readily rendered inoperative.
(A) No valve of any description shall be
					 placed between the required safety valve or rupture disc and the air
					 tank.
(B) The opening or connection
					 between the tank and safety valve or valves shall have a cross-sectional area
					 at least equal to the combined areas of all attached safety valve
					 inlets.
(3) Be of the
					 direct spring-loaded type. The springs shall not be adjusted to carry more
					 than: 10 percent greater pressure than the set pressure stamped on the valve up
					 to and including 250 psig; or 5 percent greater pressure than the set pressure
					 stamped on the valve above 250 psig.
(A) For
					 pressures of 2000 psig or less safety valves shall be equipped with a
					 substantial lifting device so that the disc can be easily lifted from its seat
					 not less than 1/8 the diameter of the seat when the pressure in the tank is 75
					 percent of that at which the safety valve is set to open.
(B) For pressures exceeding 2000 psig: the
					 lifting device may be omitted providing the valve is removed for testing at
					 least once each year and a record kept of this test and made available to the
					 qualified inspector; acceptable rupture discs may be used in lieu of safety
					 valves provided they are in compliance with Section
					 465 (b) (2), (4) and
					 (5).
(4) Be set to open at not more than the
					 allowable working pressure of the tank.
(5) Have a relieving capacity sufficient to
					 prevent a rise of pressure in the tank of more than 10 percent above the
					 allowable working pressure when all connected compressors are operating with
					 all unloading devices rendered inoperative.
(6) When exposed to a temperature of 32
					 degrees Fahrenheit or less, have a suitable drain at the lowest point where
					 water can collect.
(7) Not have
					 seats or discs of cast iron.
(8) Be
					 tested frequently and at regular intervals to determine whether they are in
					 good operating condition.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) No alteration or repair affecting the
					 safety of any air tank covered by these Orders shall be made without the
					 authorization of a qualified inspector.
(b) Any air tank which has suffered
					 mechanical damage causing dents or other deformations exceeding a depth of 1
					 ½ times the thickness of the deformed head or shell or two percent of
					 the tank diameter, whichever is greater, shall be properly re-formed to its
					 original shape or otherwise repaired as provided in these Orders. Deformations
					 less than these amounts located in areas of high stress concentration and/or
					 having abrupt changes in configuration may be required to be reformed to their
					 original shape at the discretion of the qualified inspector.
(c) Any areas that are deteriorated by
					 internal or external corrosion or by mechanical abrasion that affects the
					 safety of the tank shall be properly repaired or the allowable working pressure
					 shall be reduced proportionately. The building up by welding of such area is
					 prohibited, except isolated pits shall be permitted to be properly prepared and
					 welded at the discretion of the qualified inspector.
(d) No welded repair shall be permitted on a
					 tank of brazed construction. If inspection openings are required in such tanks,
					 they may be machine-cut and closed with handhole plates.
(e) Any welding necessary when making major
					 repairs or alterations to tanks shall be done by a welder qualified in
					 accordance with Section IX of the ASME Code in the position or positions used
					 in making the repair or alteration.
(1) When
					 minor welding repairs or alterations, such as closing openings not exceeding 2
					 inch pipe size, installing reinforcing rings around handhole openings,
					 installing staybolts or through stays, etc., are made by a welder who is not
					 ASME qualified, these repairs or alterations shall be authorized and approved
					 by a qualified inspector.

					 delivered into any vessel covered by these Orders until first odorized using a
					 warning agent of such character that the gases are detectable, by a distinct
					 odor, down to a concentration in air of not over one-fifth the lower limit of
					 flammability.
EXCEPTION: When the LP-Gas is to be used exclusively in a
						process where the presence of an odorant would make the LP-Gas unfit for use in
						the process and for deliveries between refineries or between producing wells
						and refineries, a waiver may be obtained from the Division upon written
						request.
