- the bevelled side is for example oriented at an angle of 45 ° relative to the transverse side 1b and the longitudinal side 1a.
- the beveled side of the first plate 1 and the bevelled side of the second plate 2 are parallel to each other.
- a diagonal band located in the corner of the plate 3 between the bevelled sides of the plates 1 and 2 is not covered by the plate 1 or the plate 2.
- This line welding 7 is advantageously carried out clapboard along the longitudinal side 2a and the bevelled side of the plate 2.
- This weld line 6 is advantageously made in a flush manner along the transverse side 1b and on the bevelled side of the plate 1.
- a fourth rectangular plate 4 shown partially, is disposed on the support surface adjacent the plates 1 and 2 partially covering them.
- the longitudinal side 4a of the plate 4 covers the plate 1 as well as a longitudinal band of the plate 1 located between the longitudinal side 4a of the plate 4 and the longitudinal side 1a of the plate 1.
- the transverse side 4b of the plate 4 covers the plate 2 as well as a whole transverse band of the plate 2 located between the transverse side 4b of the plate 4 and the transverse side 2b of the plate 2.
- the longitudinal side 4a of the plate 4 is aligned with the longitudinal side of the plate 2 while the transverse side 4b of the plate 4 is aligned with the transverse side 1b of the plate 1.
- the longitudinal side 4a of the plate 4 extends along an axis intersecting the beveled side of the plate 2 and the transverse side 4b of the plate 4 extends along an axis intersecting the beveled side of the plate 1.
- the wedge area 4c of the plate 4 has a convex curved portion which connects the longitudinal side 4a and the transverse side of the plate 4.
- the wedge area 4c of the plate 4 overlaps the gap 5 which is provided between the beveled sides plates 1 and 2 so that the convex curved portion overlaps the weld line 6 and the weld line 7 at the beveled sides of the plates 1, 2.
- the curved portion extends in an angular portion of 90 °.
- the radius of curvature of the convex curved portion is constant and is for example between 1 and 2.4 cm, and preferably between 1, 9 and 2.1 cm.
- the overlap areas of the transverse band of the plate 1 on the plate 2, the longitudinal band of the plate 2 on the plate 3, the longitudinal band of the plate 4 on the plate 2 and the transverse band of the plate 4 on the plate 2 have identical widths.
- the width of these overlapping areas is less than 3.6 cm and preferably between 2.4 and 3.6 cm.
- a weld line 8 is made in a clinching manner along the longitudinal side 4a, the wedge zone 4c and the transverse side 4b of the plate 4.
- This weld line 8 intersects the weld line 7 and the line 6.
- the plate 4 is sealingly assembled to the plate 1 along the side longitudinal 4a of the plate 4, to the plate 2 along the transverse side 4b of the plate 4, and to the plate 3, along the corner zone 4c of the plate 4, between the two beveled sides of the plates 1, 2.
- the weld line 8 can be made continuously, along the longitudinal side 4a, of the wedge zone 4c and the transverse side 4b of the plate 4.
- the rounded shape of the wedge area 4c limits the dimensions of the longitudinal and transverse strips of the plate 4 which respectively cover the plate 1 and the plate 2.
- the assembly of the four plates in the corner zone shown in FIG. 4 is liquid-tight, that is to say that a fluid located above the assembly finds no gap between the different plates for spread below the assembly. It will be appreciated that a similar assembly can be made at each corner of the plates 1, 2, 3, 4 of FIG. 4.
- the plates 1, 2, 3, 4 are metal sheets.
- the plates 1, 2, 3, 4 may in particular be made of stainless steel, aluminum, invar ®, that is to say an alloy of iron and nickel whose expansion coefficient is typically between 1, 2.10 " 6 and 2.10 “ 6 K “1 , or in a high manganese iron alloy whose expansion coefficient is typically of the order of 7.10 " 6 K “1 .
- the thickness of the plates 1, 2, 3, 4 is for example between 0.4 and 2 mm, typically of the order of 0.7 mm.
- the plates 1, 2, 3, 4 each comprise at least two perpendicular corrugations so as to allow the membrane to deform under the effect of thermal and mechanical stresses generated by the fluid stored in the tank.
- a cutaway view of a LNG tank 70 shows a sealed and insulated tank 71 of generally prismatic shape mounted in the double hull 72 of the ship.
- the wall of the tank 71 comprises a primary waterproof membrane intended to be in contact with the LNG contained in the tank, a secondary waterproof membrane arranged between the primary waterproof barrier and the double hull 72 of the ship, and two insulating barriers arranged respectively between the primary waterproof membrane and the secondary waterproof membrane and between the secondary waterproof membrane and the double shell 72.
- loading / unloading lines 73 arranged on the upper deck of the ship can be connected, by means of appropriate connectors, to a marine or port terminal to transfer a cargo of LNG from or to the tank 71.
- FIG. 5 represents an example of a marine terminal comprising a loading and unloading station 75, an underwater pipe 76 and an onshore installation 77.
- the loading and unloading station 75 is a fixed off-shore installation comprising an arm mobile 74 and a tower 78 which supports the movable arm 74.
- the movable arm 74 carries a bundle of insulated flexible pipes 79 that can connect to the loading / unloading pipes 73.
- the movable arm 74 can be adapted to all gauges of LNG carriers .
- a connection pipe (not shown) extends inside the tower 78.
- the loading and unloading station 75 enables the loading and unloading of the LNG tank 70 from or to the shore facility 77.
- the underwater line 76 allows the transfer of the liquefied gas between the loading or unloading station 75 and the onshore installation 77 over a large distance, for example 5 km, which makes it possible to keep the tanker vessel 70 at great distance from the coast during the loading and unloading operations.
