Untersuchung der stoßartigen Freisetzung pulverförmiger Füllgüter aus Ventilsäcken für Gefahrgüter mit Innenventil. Fallprüfungen an einem Papiersack 5M2 mit zwei Füllgütern (Esplas H130 und Zinkoxid). Variation von Ventillänge, Fallhöhe und Füllgrad in Kombination mit der Anzahl der Fallversuche pro Prüfmuster. Bei Esplas H 130 war ein Pulveraustritt aus den Klebestellen bereits beim Befüllen zu verzeichnen. Dies ist ein Widerspruch zu UN 6.1.4.18.1 (Staubdichheit). Bei beiden Substanzen waren die Ventile aller Prüfmuster nach der Fallprüfung nicht mehr staubdicht. Es wird auf erste mögliche Lösungsvorschläge eingegangen.

Es werden die Ergebnisse von Leckageratenmessungen an den Verschlüssen von Gefahrgutverpackungen unterschiedlicher Bauarten vorgestellt. Die Prüfungen wurden mit dem Überdruckverfahren mit Ansammlung unter Verwendung des Prüfgases Helium vorgenommen. Die gemessenen Deckelleckageraten zeigen Größenordnungsunteschiede von mehreren Zehnerpotenzen. Durch einen Vergleich mit berechneten Grenzwerten lässt sich die Indentifizierung kritischer Bauarten vornehmen.
Tanks for heating oil made of polyethylene grades have been on the market since the early 1970s in Germany. Tank manufacturers recommend the replacement of the tanks after a period of 30 years due to guarantee safety. Polyethylene grades are subject to ageing by alteration of the properties during their life cycle. The degree of ageing and the nature of the degradation process mainly depend on the chemical degradation of the polyethylene, the wall thickness of the tank and the environmental conditions. There are no results available on the long-term behavior of the polyethylene grades, especially after a service life of more than 30 years. The aim of this investigation was the determination of the factual degree of damage in comparison to the uncontaminated polyethylene grades. Material data of the used polyethylene grades are available because the BAM was the competent authority for the tests and expert reports for the approval of these tanks until the middle of the 1990s.
The determination of the Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and the Fourier Transmission IR Spectroscopy (FTIR) of tank sections from the bottom, the shell and the roof of 10 segregated heating oil storage tanks produced of polyethylene grades A and B were used as tests methods.
The MFR measurements of the tank sections showed differences in the values depending on the weight which was used (5 kg or 21.6 kg). A reduction of the MFR values was measured for most of the sections of tanks made of polyethylene grade B after a service life of the tanks of more than 30 years. This grade is mainly subject to the internal ageing by cross-linkages, increased degree of branched molecules and loss of the plasticizer, and to a lesser extent by oxidative degradation. The FTIR analysis, especially of tank sections of the bottom and the shell showed that the intensity of the CH2 asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations in the range: 2800 - 2900 cm-1 and the CH2 bending deformation vibration at 1400 cm-1 increased due chain scissions. The intensity of the carbonyl stretching vibration C=O at 1740 cm-1 is low. The carbonyl index characterizes the degree of oxidation.
Materials compatibility is a major concern whenever the fuel composition is changed. The question arises of whether sealing materials are resistant to fuels with bioethanol and biodiesel (rapeseed oil fatty acid methyl ester).
Previous research considered the resistance of frequently used sealing materials such as FKM (fluorocarbon rubber), FVMQ (methyl-fluoro-silicone rubber), VMQ (methyl-vinyl-silicone rubber), EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber), CR (chloroprene rubber), CSM (chlorosulfonated polyethylene), IIR (butyl rubber), PA (polyamides), NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber) and PUR (polyester urethane rubber) in fuels and heating oil with admixtures of biogenic substances such as biodiesel and B10 (heating oil with 10 % biodiesel) under purely static conditions.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the fluorocarbon rubber performance under compressed conditions. For the investigations, the mass and the compression set of the FKM test specimens were determined before and after exposure for 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 90 days in E10 (fuel with 10 % ethanol), E85 (fuel with 85 % ethanol), biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME), Super (fuel with max. 5 % ethanol), diesel fuel with max. 5 % biodiesel, pure diesel fuel, Super Plus (fuel without ethanol) and heating oil with 10 % biodiesel (B10) at 40 °C according to ISO 815-1 “Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic - determination of compression set – Part 1: At ambient or elevated temperatures”. The compression set test belongs beside the determination of the Shore hardness, the density and the tensile properties to the basic test methods for elastomers. It was measured in regular time intervals up to a re-drying of more than 90 days after relaxation of test specimens. For comparison, FKM test specimens were exposed without fuel under compressed conditions at 40 °C.
The highest mass increase of FKM test specimens was measured after 90 days exposure in E10 by 9 %, followed by 8 % in Super fuel, by 4 % in E85 and by 0.6 % in biodiesel. Mass increase and swelling of the test specimens in E10 and Super fuel with max. 5 % ethanol had an influence on the compression set values which were subject to high fluctuations in comparison to the values obtained after exposure to other fuels such as biodiesel, diesel fuel and B10.
The results of the present work confirmed the higher swelling of the elastomers such as FKM in E10 obtained under static condition. It can be concluded on the basis of the mass increase and compression set values that FKM is resistant in all fuels under compressed conditions at 40 °C.
Elastomers show a high versatility which makes them ideal materials for sealing applications in various fields. Especially under changing application conditions the high recovery potential of this class of material is beneficial to compensate temperature or pressure fluctuation, and geometrical changes resulting from mechanical loads in e.g. accident conditions. Out of these reasons elastomers are also used in containers for low and intermediate level radioactive waste and for spent fuel transportation casks. In cask designed for low and intermediate level waste elastomer seals can act as primary seal responsible for the containment function whereas in spent fuel storage and transportation casks (dual purpose casks (DPC)) elastomer seals are used as auxiliary seals to allow leakage rate measurements of metal barrier seals. An inherent prerequisite for this kind of application is the long time-scale of operation without or with limited possibility of seal replacement. In Germany an interim storage license for DPC`s is typically issued for 40 years, a timeframe which might increase in future due to challenges of the final repository siting procedure. For low and intermediate level waste, also long time periods are required before final disposal can be achieved. Therefore, the performance of elastomer seals over extended time periods is, as for other applications, of high importance.
A typical approach to ensure long-term functionality is to perform accelerated aging tests to calculate an estimated lifetime by assuming e.g. Arrhenius like equations for the time-temperature relationship. This approach requires a suitable end of life criterion considering the application of interest. This often can represent a challenge on its own.
As BAM is involved in most of the cask licensing procedures and especially responsible for the evaluation of cask-related long-term safety issues we initiated several test programs for investigating the behavior of elastomer seals. Experiments concerning the low temperature performance down to -40°C and the influence of gamma irradiation have been started first. Currently the thermal aging behavior of elastomer seals, which is the topic of this contribution, is examined.
For our aging investigations we use a broad approach to first determine the property changes in different elastomer materials due to thermo-oxidative aging at elevated temperatures and secondly we test how the typical methods of lifetime extrapolation can be applied to these results. This approach enables us to detect and exclude undesired side effects which very often influence lifetime estimations. In this contribution, our recent results are discussed.
Comparative simulations of rail and road infrastructure with the transportation of liquid cargoes
(2018)
A simulation approach has been presented to analyze the lateral stability and infrastructure damage potentials of rail and road transportation of liquid cargoes. The normalized and comparative performance of both modes of transport, reveals that the railway transportation is, comparatively, more aggressive with the infrastructure, and less safe.
