LLOYDMINSTER, AB T9V 3N6 CONTENTS Standard B620 Overview 1 Requirements 1 Inspection Services 1 Inspection Services Cont. 2 Company Registration 3 Staff Qualifications 3 Inspection Interval Tables 45 Highway & Portable Tank Specs 69 CSA Standard B620 specifies requirements for highway, portable, fiber reinforced plastic and pressure/vacuum liquid waste highway tanks for the transportation of dangerous goods. Industries from across Canada were consulted and formed a committee to evolve this standard to what it is today. Previous editions were published in 1987, 1998, 2003 and the newest in 2009. The standard is used mostly for tanks/vessels that travel on roadways but may include those used on rail and marine. It considers the design, construction, certification, assembly, modification, repair, testing, inspection and periodic retesting, identification and maintenance of these tanks. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Acts and Regulations apply the Standard B620 as well as what is contained in their acts and regulations. Did you know that? Any facility that is performing inspections, manufacturing of, modification, assembly, repair or testing must register and maintain a quality control manual with Transport Canada. This manual describes the activities of the facility, what they can do, not what they can’t do. Our manual is very strong in the areas of training and safety of all personal and equipment they are working on. All testing procedures are contained in this manual and followed accordingly. What criteria is required for each level of inspection and how often are they required? Periodic testing and inspection are contained on tables 1 and 2. Did you know that a hydrostatic or pneumatic test and inspection is required if... ... the tank shows signs of dents abrasions corroded or signs on leakage? ...the tank was involved in an accident that may have compromised the tank ...the tank hasn’t been used for one year or more to transport dangerous goods ...the tank has been modified How do you compare inspections done from one facility to the next?

Thickness Test includes, but not limited to: Test of thickness of tank shell and head around openings and piping that show signs of high stress or abrasion Pressure Test (Hydrostatic) relief valves are removed and plugged or blocked. At this interval, the relief valve is sent out to a certified valve company for inspection, cleaning, repair and certification as required by Standard B620. This information is kept on file linked to the tank which is being tested. Pressure Test (Pneumatic) applied to tanks with MAWP of 5psi or less the procedure is similar to the Hydrostatic Test but compressed air is used. Also non-destructive examination (NDE) that is required or if there is any fault or defect that is questionable, a second party that is registered to do the required level of inspection will be called in. As required by the Standard B620, a written report for each inspection or test is dated and signed by the tank inspector and is provided to customer. A copy is always kept on file as required by Transport Canada for auditing or reference purposes. the tank is completely filled with water and pressured to the manufacturer’s test pressure and/or referencing a chart contained in the Standard B620. This pressure is held for 10min minimum. The tank and all outlets are checked for leaks during this time. 2 2 Implementation of Fluid & Fab Standard SHOULD YOU REQUIRE MORE V O L U M E INFORMATION, 1 , I S S U E 1 B620 M A R C H 2 0 1 5 AUTOGRAPHING OUR WORK WITH EXCELLENCE PLEASE CONTACT US: CONTACT PERSON: SHAWN BOYCE What do you look for when sourcing a Transport Canada Registered Facility?
