Full title and description

ГОСТ Р 58027-2017 — Проектирование и производство на месте вертикальных цилиндрических стальных емкостей с плоским дном для хранения охлажденных сжиженных газов с рабочей температурой от 0 °С до −165 °С. Часть 1. Общие положения. (English: Design and manufacture of site built, vertical, cylindrical, flat‑bottomed steel tanks for the storage of refrigerated, liquefied gases with operating temperatures between 0 °C and −165 °C — Part 1: General.).

Abstract

National standard establishing general provisions for the on‑site design and manufacture of vertical, cylindrical, flat‑bottomed steel storage tanks intended for refrigerated liquefied gases (operating temperature range 0 °C to −165 °C). It covers fundamental design principles, construction and commissioning considerations, thermal and foundation measures, and references the EN 14620 series as the normative basis for detailed component and material requirements.

General information

• Status: Active (national standard in force).
• Publication date: Approved 19 December 2017; officially introduced (effective) 1 January 2022 (date of implementation was adjusted by Rosstandart order).
• Publisher: Federal Agency on Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart) — National Standard of the Russian Federation.
• ICS / categories: OKС / OКС 23.020.01 (Reservoirs for storage of liquids and gases).
• Edition / version: ГОСТ R 58027-2017 (Part 1 — General provisions).
• Number of pages: 31–32 pages (published electronic text commonly shown as 32 pages in standard repositories).

Scope

The standard applies to site‑built (built‑in‑place) vertical cylindrical steel tanks with flat bottoms used for storage of refrigerated liquefied gases with normal operating temperatures from 0 °C down to −165 °C. The outer shell is steel; the inner shell may be steel, concrete or a combination of materials. Part 1 sets general requirements; detailed requirements for metallic components and concrete components are covered in companion parts of the series.

Key topics and requirements

• Design operating temperature range and material selection for cryogenic service (0 °C to −165 °C).
• Structural design rules for the outer and inner shells, including stress checks for hydrostatic and thermal loads.
• Foundation design and mitigation of freezing (requirements for foundation heating systems and temperature control to avoid frost heave and differential settlement).
• Seismic analysis methods and requirements (static or dynamic approaches, evaluation of convective and impulsive liquid modes, calculation of overturning moments and hydrodynamic effects).
• Anchoring and allowance for differential thermal radial movements; anchor design for elastic and plastic actions.
• Welding, inspection, non‑destructive testing, hydraulic testing, commissioning and acceptance procedures for site‑built tanks.
• Instrumentation, safety devices and requirements for specifying stored product properties and relief/venting systems.
• Reference to and alignment with EN 14620 series for component‑level requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by design and engineering firms, site construction contractors, tank fabricators and erectors, plant operators (industrial gas, petrochemical, LNG/LPG terminals), regulatory bodies and certification/inspection organizations involved in planning, constructing and commissioning refrigerated liquefied gas storage tanks. The document provides the general framework that project technical specifications and detailed part standards build upon.
