Abstract

1,187,304. Tanks in ships. TECHNIGAZ. 18 May, 1967 [20 May, 1966], No. 23061/67. Headings B7A and B7S. [Also in Division F4] A generally rectangular liquefied gas storage container comprises an inner liquid-containing tank formed of primary and secondary barrier walls 17, 16 of Fig. 2 of thin flexible corrugated metal surrounded by heat insulation material e.g. foamed polyurethane (not shown) and which is itself surrounded by a rigid supporting wall structure, e.g. a ship's hull 1, and the spaced adjacent edges 2<SP>1</SP>, 2 of the inner tank and support structure, and referred to as corners are connected together by longitudinally spaced cleats 5, Fig. 3, of heat insulating material e.g. wood bolted at 6, 7 to the hull and at 8, 9 to a flange 10 of a pair of nested inner and outer angle plates 3a, 3b to which are secured the primary and secondary barriers 17, 15. Stiffening members 13 secured by brackets 14 to either side of each cleat 5 extend between the hull 1 and the plate 3b. The gap between successive angle plates 3b is covered by an angle piece 20 of the same material as the secondary barrier 16 whilst the gap between successive plates 3a is covered by pieces 25 of the primary barrier 17. Each corner (53<SP>1</SP>), Fig. 9 (not shown), formed by the intersection of three walls of the tank is also connected to the adjacent corner (53) of the hull by three spaced cleats (56a, 56b, 56c) straddling the three dihedral angles and bolted to a trihedral angular element (54) formed of nested inner and outer corner plates (54a, 54b).
