8 CCR 1202-5-10 - SYSTEMS MOUNTED ON FARM WAGONS (IMPLEMENTS OF HUSBANDRY) FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF AMMONIA
This Section applies to containers of 3000 gallons capacity or less and pertinent equipment mounted on farm wagons (implements of husbandry) and used for the transportation of ammonia. All General Rules of Section 2 apply to this Section unless otherwise noted.
10.1.
Design of Containers
10.1.1. Containers shall be constructed in
accordance with Rule 3.1.
10.2.
Mounting Containers
10.2.1. A suitable "stop" or "stops" shall be
mounted on the farm wagon or on the container in such a way that the container
shall not be dislodged from its mounting due to farm wagon coming to a sudden
stop. Back slippage shall also be prevented by proper methods.
10.2.2. A suitable "hold-down" device shall
be provided which will anchor the container to the farm wagon at one or more
places on each side of the container.
10.2.3. When containers are mounted on
four-wheel farm wagons, care shall be taken to ensure that the weight is
distributed evenly over both axles.
10.2.4. When the cradle and the container are
not welded together, suitable material shall be used between them to eliminate
metal-to-metal friction.
10.3.
Container Appurtenances
10.3.1. All containers shall be equipped with
a fixed maximum liquid level gauge.
10.3.2. All containers with a capacity
exceeding 250 gallons shall be equipped with a pressure gauge having a dial
graduated from 9-400 psi.
10.3.3.
The filling connection shall be fitted with combination back-pressure check
valve and excess-flow valve; one double or two single back-pressure check
valves; or a positive shut-off valve in conjunction with either an internal
back-pressure check valve or an internal excess flow valve.
10.3.4. All containers with a capacity
exceeding 250 gallons shall be equipped for spray loading or with an approved
vapor return valve.
10.3.5. All
vapor and liquid connections, except safety relief valves and those
specifically exempt in 2.4.5.6, shall be equipped with approved excess flow
valves or may be fitted with quick-closing internal valves which, except during
operating periods, shall remain closed.
10.3.6. Fittings shall be protected from
physical damage by means of a rigid guard designed to withstand static loading
in any direction equal to twice the weight of the container and lading using a
safety factor of four (4) based upon the ultimate strength of the material
used. If the guard is fully enclosed, the safety relief valves shall be
properly vented through the guard.
10.3.7. If a liquid withdrawal line is
installed in the bottom of a container, the connections thereto, including
hose, shall not be lower than the lowest horizontal edge of the farm wagon
axle.
10.3.8. Provision shall be
made to secure both ends of the hose while in transit.
10.4.
Marking of Container
10.4.1. There shall appear on each side and
on the rear end of the container in letters at least four inches high, the
words "ANHYDROUS AMMONIA".
10.5.
Farm Wagons (Implements of
Husbandry)
10.5.1. Farm wagons
(Implements of Husbandry) shall conform with State Regulations.
10.5.2. All farm wagons shall be securely
attached to the vehicle drawing them by means of drawbars supplemented by
suitable safety chains.
10.5.3. A
farm wagon shall be constructed so that it will follow substantially in the
path of the towing vehicle and will prevent the towed farm wagon from whipping
or swerving dangerously from side to side.
10.5.4. All farm wagons shall have five (5)
gallons or more of readily available clean water, one pair of tight fitting
goggles or full face shield, and one pair of protective gloves.
