In certain sections of the United States, suitable tidewater sites for LNG importation facilities were both scarce and expensive. It was reasoned that a great deal more property would be opened up if LNG transfer lines of a mile or two in length were…
A series of tests involving the exposing mannequins clothed with normal civilian clothing to a 10 ft. x 10 ft. LNG pool fire was conducted. Both single layer clothing and double layer clothing were used. The radiant heat flux incident outside the…
This project evaluated consensus standards, best practices, and regulatory requirements related to process safety management (PSM) topics to support DOT PHMSA's strategy to update its regulatory requirements for safety management systems for LNG…
The models used at present to evaluate the potential hazard areas around large LNG fires were developed with field test data from smaller diameter (1.8 m to 15 m) fires. These models are, however, applied to predict hazard distances from fires much…
The purpose of this study was to optimize and compare several different mathematical models using the experimentally determined PVTx density data of Haynes, et al. (1976), Haynes and Hiza (1976), Hiza, et al. (1976), and Hiza (1976). These data are…
The cryogenic fluids density reference system has been used to evaluate three basic types of densimeters: the vibrating element type, the dielectric cell type and the displacement type. These meters were used to measure densities in liquid ethane and…
This report describes a LNG sampling project that continued the work previously reported by Parrish et al. The current work extended Parrish's work by expanding the range of some test parameters and by testing different vaporizer designs.
