Development of the Register rules to the application of polymer composite materials for the construction of liquefied natural gas tanks
Abstract
Polymer composite materials (PCM) are widely accepted in general industry applications, civil construction and transportation of goods. One of the relatively new areas where PCM become accepted are the structures subjected to cryogenic temperatures. The examples of such structures are primarily as follows: tanks for liquid rocket fuel, structural elements of spacecraft, rockets and satellites. In relation to that, the promising area of PCM application would be the construction of ship tanks intended for the storage and transportation of liquefied natural gas tanks. To facilitate the application of such tanks on future gas tankers it is necessary to develop the specific Russian Maritime Register of Shipping rules that would cover the application of such materials. In order to do that it is necessary to perform the analysis of research papers that cover the practical application of PCM under cryogenic temperatures, and to perform laboratory tests. The paper gives the specifics of PCM characteristics behavior under cryo temperatures based on practical application and results of such tests. As a result, the most critical PCM characteristics are identified that should be covered in rule requirements. The structure of new rule requirements have been developed and presented in the paper.
