(Main + Amendment)Tanks for transport of dangerous goods - Service equipment for tanks - Vapour transfer valve
General Information
- Abstract
This European Standard covers the vapour transfer valve, used for the transfer of vapour between the tank compartment and the pipework connecting to the vapour collection adaptor.
This European Standard specifies the performance requirements and the critical dimensions of the vapour transfer valve. It also specifies the tests necessary to verify the compliance of the equipment with this European Standard. The equipment specified by this standard is suitable for use with liquid petroleum products and other dangerous substances of Class 3 of ADR [2] which have a vapour pressure not exceeding 110 kPa at 50 °C and petrol, and which have no sub-classification as toxic or corrosive.

Overview
EN 13082:2008+A1:2012 is a CEN European Standard for vapour transfer valves used on tanks for transport of dangerous goods. It defines the performance requirements, critical dimensions and mandatory tests for valves that transfer vapour between the tank compartment and the pipework connecting to the vapour collection adaptor. The standard applies to liquid petroleum products and other ADR Class 3 substances (including petrol) with vapour pressures ≤ 110 kPa at 50 °C, provided they are not classified as toxic or corrosive. EN 13082 supports compliance with vapour collection and VOC control requirements (Directive 94/63/EC).
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Vapour transfer valves for tank vehicles and associated vapour collection manifolds; ADR Class 3 liquids and petrol with specified vapour-pressure limits.
- Design requirements:
- Default design temperature range: −20 °C to +50 °C (extendable to −40 °C or +70 °C where required).
- Actuation: remote operation allowed; valves may have sequential functions and must return to closed position on failure.
- Open indication: valve shall be provided with a means to indicate when it is open.
- Materials: manufacturer must provide full material specification for wetted parts.
- Dimensional requirements:
- Maximum assembly height above mounting face: 150 mm.
- Flanged and through-hole connection dimensions specified (flange sizes, spigot diameters, bolt patterns, threaded spigot up to 98 mm).
- Performance:
- Manufacturer to provide pressure-drop curve up to 300 standard m³/h of air at 20 °C.
- Maximum Working Pressure (MWP) referenced for strength tests.
- Testing regime:
- Production tests (sampling per ISO 2859-1 AQL 2.5): shell tightness, internal seat tightness (5.5 kPa), operability.
- Type tests (minimum two samples): shell strength (500 kPa or 1.5×MWP), shell tightness, seat tightness (5.5 kPa and 25 kPa), mechanical endurance, drop test.
- Test procedures reference EN 12266‑1 and EN 12266‑2.
Applications
- Manufacturers of tank vehicle service equipment and vapour collection systems.
- Valve and component designers developing certified vapour transfer valves.
- Tank builders, fleet operators and service-station engineers specifying vapour recovery interfaces for loading/unloading.
- Certification bodies and test laboratories performing production and type testing to meet ADR and VOC control requirements.
