General Operating Instructions
Recommendations for the Use of the VACONODECK
1. General
The object of the VACONODECK is to minimise the loss through evaporation of the stored
product. Though numerous settlings will not damage the VACONODECK, in order to
minimise gas losses, this should be avoided as much as possible. A deck that is not
floating on the liquid is effectively useless.
2. Particular Recommendations
Overfilling of the Tank
The most frequent causes of damage to the VACONODECK are found to have been
caused through the overfilling of a tank. It is therefore to be recommended that overfilling
of a tank be prevented through the use of any one of the numerous overfilling protection
devices available on the market.
Inlet Rate
When tanks are filled at a high rate of inlet there remains the possibility of damage to the
VACONODECK due to the large amount of turbulence caused.
Before installing the VACONODECK it should be confirmed by the tank operator that the
inlet velocity does not exceed 1,0 m/sec. A diffuser should otherwise be installed to reduce
the inlet rate to this figure.
Important note:
The diffuser is not suitable for or designed to allow purging of the feed line with (nitrogen)
gas. Such an action could lead to damage of the floating deck.
Should it subsequently be decided to increase the inlet rate in a tank where a

VACONODECK is installed this should firstly be advised to ourselves that we may
determine whether a diffuser is necessary and if so what size will be required.
General operating_e_b.doc Page 1/ 4 03.08.04

Tank Mixers (if installed)
If a tank has a mixer installed this mixer should be coupled to a level switch.
By the propeller type of mixer the minimum level whereby it should be switched on is when
the liquid level is 2 mtrs over the maximum height of the propeller thereby assuring no
possible contact, and thereby no damage, to the VACONODECK.
By the use of the jet mixer type the liquid level in the tank should be at least 2,5 mtrs
above the height of the jet mixer nozzle thereby avoiding the possibility of a jet stream
hitting the floats or deck sheets of the VACONODECK etc. causing possible damage.
Important note:
We would advise that where a mixer unit exists or is to be installed in a tank with a
VACONODECK VACONO should firstly be consulted in order to advise in each instance at
what liquid height the mixer may be switched on safely!
Floating Suction Unit (if installed)
Floating Suctions of aluminium or steel design are designed bearing in mind the specific
gravity of the product stored. Should the tank be filled with water (S.G. 1.0) or a heavier
product than foreseen this would lead to an increase in the floatability of the floating
suction unit thereby increasing the pressure to the underside of the VACONODECK unit
(to which it is attached by means of guide rails) and thereby leading to the almost certain
result of damage being caused. Therefore should it be decided to fill a tank with water for
cleaning or testing purposes it is important that the floating suction unit's floats be
removed. Further should it be decided to store another product in the tank we should firstly
be consulted in order that we may determine whether the new product and it's specific
gravity will affect the floatability of the floating suction unit to an extent whereby the deck
may be damaged.
Tank Welds
In order to avoid mechanical failure of the deck seal all tank wall welds should be clean
and smooth without burrs and sharp edges.
Water test
If such is to be undertaken please refer to the attached instructions „Procedure for Water
Testing of VACONODECK Internal Aluminium Floating Covers (IFR)“ thereto.

3. Regular Controls
Antirotation System
The antirotation cables should never be slack and always under tension. This should be
checked from time to time and where necessary the cables should be retensioned .
Antistatic System
The earthing cables are attached to the VACONODECK and the tank roof manhole and
they should be checked from time to time to ensure that they are still safely connected.
4. Operating the VACONODECK
During the tank inspection, cleaning etc. local safety regulations shall be observed.
In tank cleaning operations where water is used, spraying of water on the VACONODECK
topside surface should be avoided as much as possible to avoid increased weight and
stress to the deck sheets profiles and legs.
Tank cleaning systems (such as Butterworth, Blabo, Prosser, Scanjet etc.) that are
operated from the tank roof are not to be used in conjunction with a VACONODECK.
By use of stream to clean tank direct spraying on the deck seals should be avoided.
When carrying out repairs in the tank 'spark free' tools should be used and dropping of
tools onto the VACONODECK or scratching the zinc plated surfaces should be avoided.
5. Hanging Decks (if installed)
Where ‘Hanging decks’ are to be installed the following points are to be noted:
When the VACONODECK is in the hanging position it is only to be walked on by one
person. In the hanging state (during tank modification, cleaning, etc.) no person should be
on top of the deck whilst work is being carried out by others on the underside.
Working on top and below the deck is only permitted when the supplied leg
supports have been installed.

6. Live load according API 650 APP. H.4.2.2
The internal floating roof shall be designed to safely support at least two men
( 2,2kN = 500 lbf over 0,1 sqm = 1 sqft ) walking anywhere on the roof while
it is floating or resting on its supports without damaging the floating roof and without
allowing product on the roof. If specified by the purchaser, the concentrated load
design criteria may be modified for roofs less than 9 m ( 30ft. ) diameter ( where
internal floating roofs may become unstable ), to account for access needs, and
expected concentrated live loads.

VACONODECK & VACONODOME
Storage:
All materials have to be stored dry to avoid fluid retention between the materials.
Especially sealing materials have to be kept away from sunlight.
Transportation:
Transportation has to be done always with special care. Aluminium parts are very sensitive
against damage. Special care has to be taken on VACONODOME sheets and VACONODECK
floats and sheets because of the thin-walled materials.
VACONODOME materials are packed by VACONO onto pallets, transport frames and into
wooden boxes. All packages can be transported by usual fork lifters or hand lifts. The maximum
gross weight of each package does not exceed 2,2 to.
VACONODECK materials are generally delivered partly packed and partly unpacked. Unpacked
materials like floats, channels, butt straps have to be loaded/unloaded by hand for which normally
3-4 working men are working 1-2 hours (depends on size and quality of VACONODECK(s).

Procedure for - Water Testing - of
Internal Aluminium / Stainless Steel Floating Covers (IFR)
Type ”VACONODECK“
1. General
The relevant API 650 app. H. paragraphs H.6.6 describes in general how the water test
should be carried out and which risks regarding corrosion are to be seen.
API 650 app. H.
H.6.6 Initial Flotation

A flotation test and initial fill inspection shall be conducted by the Purchaser. This test may be performed or
witnessed by the erector, as subject to agreement with the Purchaser. The party performing the flotation test
shall make water connections and supply all tank closures required for testing and remove all water
connections and temporary closures (including gaskets, fasteners, test blanks, etc.) after completion of the
test, unless otherwise specified by the Purchaser.
H.6.6.1 Internal floating roofs in accordance with types H.2.2a, b, c, d, and g shall be given a flotation test on
water. Internal floating roofs in accordance with types H.2.2e and H.2.2f shall be given a flotation test on water
or product at the option of the Purchaser. During this test, the roof and all accessible compartments shall be
checked to confirm that they are free from leaks. The appearance of a damp spot on the upper side of the part
in contact with the liquid shall be considered evidence of leakage.
H.6.6.2 During initial fill the internal floating roof should be checked to confirm that it travels freely to its full
height. The peripheral seal shall be checked for proper operation throughout the entire travel of the internal
floating roof. During the first event of lowering the level from full height, particular attention shall be given for
tanks that contain a floating suction to ensure proper operation.
H.6.6.3 Because of possible corrosive effects, consideration shall be given to the quality of water used and the
duration of the test. Potable water is recommended. For aluminum or stainless steel floating roofs, S.4.10 shall
be followed.
H.6.6.4 The high flotation level shall be evaluated for clearance and the floating suction (if existing) shall be
compensated for the excess buoyancy that will be encountered during hydrostatic testing of the floating roof
system.
If IFR is tested on water the following recommendations can be given by Vacono:
1. Water which is used for testing should be potable. If such water is not available the test
water must be analysed. The water analysis must be submitted to the deck supplier for
approval and further instruction.
2. The water test must be carried out as quickly as possible. If the test is done in less than
three days practically no corrosion will be seen on the aluminium / stainless steel
components.
Vacono recommends that the test should be less than three days but shall never be
longer than one week.
3. After the water test is completed and the tank is drained water free, the tank must be
filled with product within 2 days. If the tank and the IFR stand without product for a longer
period of the following conservation must be carried out on the IFR.
Water testing_f.doc 24.08.15 1/2

All Aluminium / Stainless Steel Floats must be brushed with a soft brush (no metal brush
to be used) and dried from water drops. A thin layer of oil must be applied on them.
This conservation stops possible ongoing pitting corrosion on the floats and on other
parts treated.
4. The tank with the IFR cover is now ready to be filled with product.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
VACONODECK - "Double PE" - SEAL
DRAWINGS: SGB-71141-4 / SGB-71142-4
See attached drawing SGB-71142-4, Sketch 1-5
Before installing the SEAL, the VACONODECK must be in position and centred.
The best method of centring is to use four wooden blocks placed 90° apart under the upper
flange at the circumference of the floating roof, as shown in sketch 2 and 3.
Installation
The seal is laid out on the circumference of the floating roof. One end is positioned at the point
where the installation of the circumferential clamping channel has been started.
As shown in sketch 1, the seal is curved upwards against the tank wall, and the first hole is
made, using a rubber mallet, at a distance of about 35-50 mm from the inner edge.
Further holes are then punched in the seal, taking care at all times that the outer edge is not
under stress and is held snugly against the tank wall.
Once the first 10 to 20 holes have been punched, and the seal have been placed in position,
the first spacer channel is fitted and bolted down finger-tight.
The complete seal is then installed as described. From the second spacer channel onwards, all
components can be firmly bolted to each other.
Once all the holes have been made in the seal, the end is marked accurately to align with the
start point of the joint, it is then cut and trimmed as necessary, and bonded as shown in drawing
SGB-71141-4.
After the seal has been placed over the bolts again, the last spacer channel is adjusted to fit
and then installed. Finally, after the adhesive has cured, all bolts are firmly tightened and the
installation of the lower seal is thus complete.
The upper seal is installed in the same way, but clamping straps segments are used instead of
the spacer channel, see SGB-71142-4 sketch 5.

1 Preliminaries
1.1 Safety regulations, formalities

Before starting work in the depot check with the depot operator on the safety regulations
and other formalities to be observed or completed.
1.2 Material storage

Unload material as close to the tank as is possible and check for any wich may have
occured damage during transport. If damage is found, request a signature from the
vehicle driver immediately and – if possible – notify a representative of the customer.
Report damage immediately to VACONO Aluminium Covers Gmbh.
1.3 Material control

Check material for completeness according to the material list. Report missing items
immediately to VACONO Aluminium Covers Gmbh.
1.4 Tank control

Check that positions of devices, such as dip hatches, auxiliary dip hatches, automatic
gauging, temperature measurement hatch, etc. on the tank roof correspond with the
drawing. Check whether the centre distance of the fittings from the tank wall is
acceptable. Plumb existing roof columns. Consult tank operator in event of uncertainty.
1.5 Torchcutting and welding on tank

If torch cutting and welding operations have to be performed on the tank, the tank
operator must first be asked about the relevant safety regulations.
2 Free ventilation
2.1 Peripheral air scoops

If a tank is provided with peripheral roof scoops and side overflows, the following
procedure must be adapted.
2.2 Side overflow

The total number of peripheral roof scoops and side overflows are distributed regularly
around the periphery. The position must be selected so that no rafter will be damaged
during torchcutting. Determine dimensions from drawing 23540-00D 53456-00D. If the
position of the rafters cannot be clearly determined from above, we would recommend
cutting a small inspection hole in the tankroof and place realign the peripheral air scoops
according. The side overflows are fitted most economically with a mounting basket,
observe the safety regulations. Refer to drawing 23540-00D for installation height.
1 Issue: 09/2012
2.3 Centre roof vent
The centre roof vent can be fitted by welding the steel sockets directly to the tank roof,
see drawing 23541-00D or by mounting it on an existing roof socket no longer required.
3 Installing the VACONODECK

The centre-line in channel longitudinal direction has to be determined before beginning
installation of the VACONODECK. The procedure is as follows:
3.1 Finding the centre-line

Normally a device whose centre must be plumbed down from the tank roof. e.g. automatic
gauging, ladder, funnel, etc. This point has to be marked on the floor of the tank. The
desired centre-line is obtained from here via the tank centre.
3.2 Distribution of peripheral elements

Placed them at the tankwall and complete the ring with peripheral elements (21120). The
alignment of the peripheral elements (21120) shown in the assembly drawing.
3.3 Peripheral legs

An M8x55 (24006) bolt is now inserted hand-tight into the predrilled hole of the leg at the
periphery and the sleeve attached. In the case of adjustable legs, also fit upper part of P-
sleeve hand tight with two M8x55 (24006) bolts. Lay out the legs together with the refer to
drawing 24352-00D / 24353-00D / 24357-00D /24358-00D / 24361-00D or 24362-00D.
3.4 Fitting spacing elements

Bolt a butt strap for peripheral seal (23525) tight as a spacer to each peripheral element
(21120), approx. 300mm from each end. Hole distance as measured from end of butt
strap 190mm + 20mm = 210mm, hole diameter 9mm. Refer to drawing 53357-20-02M.
3.5 Preparation of first peripheral element

Fit a leg sleeve with leg and an PE connector (23526) with M8x20 (24005) bolts at both
ends of the peripheral element first selected, hand tight.
3.6 Pre-fitting of peripheral elements

Provide all other peripheral elements right through to the last one with sleeve, leg and an
PE connector (23526) at one end. Preferably proceed in a clock-wise direction in this
case.
2 Issue: 09/2012
3.7 Erection of peripheral ring
Place first peripheral element at the tank wall and then connect the other peripheral
elements. Preferably proceed in a clock-wise direction and screw up hand-tight.
3.8 Displacement of legs with obstacles

When the ring is closed and a leg meets a pipeline or tank floor recess, the relevant leg
must be displaced far enough to provide a minimum clear spacing of 150mm between the
obstacle and the leg. Only the sleeve with leg is moved, the connection for peripheral
element (23526) remains in position! The sleeve is drilled and bolted at its new position.
3.9 Positioning and assembly of frame work

When the ring is at its required position, assembly of the frame work can commence.

Fig. 1
Points M1 and M2 are marked at the centres of the peripheral elements and then a cord is
stretched tightly from M1 to M2. Points T1 and T2 are then marked on the peripheral ring.
The centre is marked on the centre float (23872 8" AL / 23769 10" SS) and a leg sleeve
fitted hand tight at both ends with leg. See Fig.1. The float length can be obtained from
assembly drawing and the appendent partlist.
3 Issue: 09/2012
3.10 Connecting the first channels
R-channels are connected with at least two framing spacers 1521mm (23510) /
2021mm (23571) and screw clamps to form a frame, see Fig.2. Instead of the framing
spacers, spacing devices are used if available. This frame is drilled, boring Ø9mm,
together with the peripheral element at points T1 and T2 and bolted hand-tight. The
centre float is then set with its centre mark under the cord. The two R-channels are set
exactly parallel to the cord and secured with float brackets (23517 8" AL / 23604 10" SS)
to the float. The hole spacing in the lower flange of channel is 240mm for 8" AL float or
290mm for 10" SS float, refer to drawing 53357-20-04M or 53357-20-05M.

3.11 Completion of first row of floats

The external floats (23872 8" AL / 23769 10" SS) are then connected to the centre float
aligned, drilled, boring Ø9mm, and bolted hand-tight to the peripheral element by means
of the float adapter ( 23515 AL / 23601 SS), see Fig.3.
R-channels, are spaced with the aid of framing spacers 1498mm (23511) / 1998mm
(23570) similar to Fig. 2 and connected with peripheral element and external float.
4 Issue: 09/2012
The float line L1 is set up and channels secured on the periphery in this way, regardless
of the size of the VACONODECK, as shown in Fig.3.
IT IS IMPORTANT, THAT THE CHANNELS ARE PARALLEL TO THE CENTRE LINE
AND ARE ALWAYS EXACTLY SPACED !
If it is found that the R-channels-, cannot be connected to the peripheral elements it must
be checked whether they are really too short or whether they are not parallel. The actual
length must then be compared with the value specified in the appendent partlist. In the
event of complaints, the differences should be reported to VACONO Aluminium Covers
GMBH.
3.12 Completion of the frame work

When the first section of the frame work has been erected as shown, the remaining float
lines and channels are fitted as shown in the assembly drawing , until the entire frame
work is closed, see Fig.4.
Fig. 4
3.13 Difficulties with uneven tank floor

If the frame work cannot be closed owing to inclination of the tank floor (convex,
concave), i.e. channels, do no quite reach the peripheral elements or project beyond it for
some reason, levelling must first be performed.
5 Issue: 09/2012
3.14 Levelling
Before levelling, the cover height shown in the assembly drawing must be marked on a
leg at the tank manhole. The marking is suitably made on the lower edge of the sleeve.
For fixed legs, the difference of the lower edges of sleeves between the legs at the
periphery and the legs in the inner area is 59mm, for 8“ AL floats, and 34mm for 10“ SS
floats, as shown in Fig.5.

Starting from the selected leg, the height marked is then transferred with the hose
levelling instrument or laser unit to all other legs.
Levelling with the hose levelling instrument is performed as shown in Fig.5.
Levelling with a laser unit is performed as indicated in Fig.6.
Fig. 6
6 Issue: 09/2012
The bracket is placed on the wall of the tank, where it is held by magnets. The rotary table
is set horizontal with the three adjusting screws. The mark on the first leg is transferred to
all the others by turning the laser – as for the hose levelling instrument. It must be
ensured that none of the legs stands in the shadow of another.
When all legs have been marked, they must be fixed at the correct height.
3.15 Fixing the fixed legs

The leg sleeve is positioned up or down until its lower edge coincides with the correct
mark. The leg is then drilled with the leg sleeve, whereby for the fixed leg the existing hole
in the lower part serves as a template. An M8x55 (24006) screw is then inserted and both
parts screwed together tightly. If the leg projects beyond the upper edge of the sleeve,
which can occur with convex tank floors, the projecting end must be cut off in order to
prevent subsequent damage to the sheet, refer to drawing 53357-20-05M.
3.16 Fixing the upper position with adjustable legs

The height adjustment is made in exactly the same way as for fixed legs, but drilling is
performed in the upper sleeve piece and the screw is only secured hand- tight. An
additional hole has to be drilled just below the compressed upper sleeve piece, later on
when the cover is lowered into the lower service position, shown in Fig.7 and drawing
53357-20-04M.
Fig. 7
7 Issue: 09/2012
3.17 Fixing the lower operating position with adjustable legs
The lower operating position must be clarified with the operator in the case of adjustable
legs. It should be ensured in this case that the distance from the highest steel section
extending into the tank ( pipeline, mixer etc.) and the cover section above is not less than
100mm, see Fig. 8

The service height determined is measured from the lower edge of the leg sleeve
downwards. The leg is drilled at that point and an M8x55 (24006) screw inserted and
tightened.
3.18 Bolting the peripheral elements

When all legs have been fixed at the correct height, all peripheral elements are first bolted
together securely. It must be ensured that the peripheral elements lie closely together at
the joints and that the legs are vertical.
3.19 Bolting the framing spacer

The framing spacers, shown in drawing 53357-20-08M, are then tightened securely at the
centre of the cover.

Fig. 9
It should be noted here that the upper edges of the channels must lie in one plane, that
the bolt spacing is 250mm and that the centreline of the framing spacers is aligned, as
shown in Fig.9.
A connection strap 300mm (23518) is used as an aid to installation. A start is made at the
centre. After tightening, the diameter is measured again over the outer edges of the
peripheral elements, to check whether it coincides with the assembly drawing. If it is too
large, the end-framing spacers must be shortened evenly. If too small, the length of the
other centreline must be established later.
3.20 Bolting the floats with legs

Finally, the floats (23872 8" AL / 23769 10" SS) are tightened, with M8x20 bolts, together
with the leg sleeves, ensuring here too that the legs are vertical.
The R-channel connections and – if present - all other framing spacers are tightened in
the same way.
3.21 Re-centering of levelled frame work

When bolting has been completed, the distance from the tank wall is checked once again
at the peripheral elements. Since no tank or cover is ever perfectly circular, the cover
must now be centred exactly, i.e. that the spacers described in 3.4- where necessary-
must be exchanged with others having the hole spacing now required. One spacer
should be fitted on each peripheral element. The re-centred cover must be rigidly
tensioned against the wall of the tank.
3.22 Fitting of sockets and bottom angles for antirotation cables

The R 3“ sockets for the anti-rotation cable (21403) see drawing 23712-00D, 23764-00D,
23964-00D or 53384-00D, are marked on the tank roof and welded in after cutting the
openings. The centre of the sockets is then transferred to the tank floor with a plumb-bob,
where the floor angle is then welded.
When marking, alignment is taken either from the assembly drawing or – if the points
have to be newly selected- according to the frame work channels, i.e. it must be ensured
9 Issue: 09/2012
that the plumb-bob passes as closely as possible through the centre of a panel and
therefore does not meet a channel or float.
3.23 Aligning the framing spacer

The framing spacer centreline is then accurately aligned. It may be necessary to remove
the connecting screws between R-channel, and peripheral element in order to move the
channel to the required position.
3.24 Fitting the assembly spacers

Spacers for installation are inserted in the centre panel with an distances from 1500mm.
The entire panel is fitted in the case of continuous sheets, half in the case of divided.

3.26 Positioning the first cover sheet

The sheet "1" is then placed at the centre on the screws in the centre framing spacer, see
Fig.11 and 12, and unrolled sufficiently for four or six of the screws of the channels A and
B to enter the slotted holes. A check is then made on angularity of the frame work. The
centres of the slotted holes should coincide as closely as possible with the centres of the
screws. If the layout is as shown in Fig.12, channel line a, the sheet can be unrolled
without difficulty. If the screws of channel line B are in the position shown in b or c,
however, the entire channel line must be moved so that the screws lie at the centre of the
hole.Like in channel line a.
Fig. 12 Centerline of framing spacer a b c
If the framing spacer, shown in drawing 53357-20-08M, is displaced to one side or the
other in the direction of the width, so that the screws do not fit the slotted holes, it must be
loosened again at the periphery and set to the correct position.
The sheet is then completely unrolled. If it lies satisfactorily, the channel lines A and B are
screwed tightly at the ends with the peripheral section, see Fig.13. The projecting end of
11 Issue: 09/2012
the sheet is cut off flush at the outside edge of the peripheral section.
With continuous sheets, a start is made in the same way at one end of the centre panel.

3.27 Drilling the butt straps

Peripheral elements and PE-butt straps, are drilled together parallel with the work
described in 3.24. A start is made at the end of panel 1, as illustrated in Fig. 14.

The pre-drilled and pre-bent PE-butt strap is clamped with screw clamps on the outer
flange of the peripheral element and acts as a drilling template. The start of the first PE-
butt strap is made on the flange of the peripheral element. The PE-butt straps are drilled
successively preferably in the clockwise direction.
Please note:
A distance of 250mm form the last hole of the PE-butt strap to the 1st hole of the next PE-
butt strap, must be maintained. The PE-butt strap make-up section has to be cut and to fit
on site.
12 Issue: 09/2012
3.28 Transfer of assembly spacers
When sheet 1 has been laid and the channels of lines A an B have been tightly screwed
to the peripheral element, the spacers of length 1498mm / 1998mm are placed in the next
panel preferably in the clockwise direction. It must be ensured that the spacers are always
in line with those in the panel already covered. The final spacer should be placed as far
as possible on the peripheral element, see Fig.15.

3.29 Positioning the first cover sheet

The second sheet is laid out in the same way as described in 3.28. When the sheet has
been unrolled and cut away at the periphery, PE-butt straps of the channel line B are
immediately positioned and tightened as securely as possible by hand, see Fig.16.
Fig. 16
3.30 Bolting the sheets to periphery and positioning the following sheets
If two sheets are laid in the 1500mm or 2000mm system, the first PE-butt strap is
immediately placed, the sheets drilled through at the edge-with the PE-butt strap again
serving as a drilling template- and screwed tight. The tank wall spacers must then
immediately be securely fitted again, see Fig. 17.
13 Issue: 09/2012

The spacers from panel 2 are moved to panel 4, see Fig.16, after all float brackets of
channel lines C and D had been secured. The fourth sheet is then laid, the corresponding
straight S-butt strap secured hand-tight and the PE-butt strap section positioned and
screwed tight.
3.31 Method of mounting sheet for different VACONODECK diameters

For sheet sections divided in the middle, see Fig.18, the first quarter is closed in this way.
A start is then made again at the centre on the other side and the first half closed. The
second half is covered in a corresponding way. If sufficient personnel are available, both
sides can be worked on at the same time.
Fig. 18
With through going sheets, a start is also made with panel 1, but from the edge and first
closing one half and then the other. If sufficient personnel are available, both sides can be
worked here simultaneously, see Fig.19.
14 Issue: 09/2012
Fig. 19
With large diameters, i.e. over 30m, all 15m long S-sheets are first laid and then
installation continued – as for a cover with sheet panels divided in the middle, see Fig 20.
Fig. 20
15 Issue: 09/2012
3.32 Tightening the butt straps on the channels
When all sheets have been laid, the edge is screwed tight, i.e. the PE-butt straps
compress the sheets to the peripheral elements. The straight S-butt straps inside the
cover on the overlap are only secured hand-tight. These are now tightened firmly. A start
can be made anywhere.
3.33 Combination air valve-manhole

The valve-manhole combination (23531) is assembled and set in position prior to placing
the final sheet. The position is either given in the assembly drawing or must be agreed
with the operator though in principle it should be fitted close to a tank shell manhole .
The manhole cover must fold in the direction of the tank wall, see drawing 23531-00D. so
that any cables and / or air hoses required for maintenance and inspection purposes
etc. are not obstructed when drawn through the manhole.
16 Issue: 09/2012
4 Fitting the negotiating devices
A check must be made before installing further fixtures whether the cover is still fixed
firmly at the tank centre. Re-tension tank spacers if necessary.
4.1 Plumbing the fitting positions in the VACONODECK

The centre-lines of all auxiliary fixtures as antirotation cable guides, gauging or sampling
funnel, calibrating datum plates, temperature measuring device, automatic gauge, etc. on
the tank roof are then plumbed-down and marked on the cover.
4.2 Antirotation system

The antirotation system, drawing 23712-00D / 23764-00D / 23964-00D / 53384-00D is
fitted as follows:
A hole is cut in the sheet where the cover has been marked – of diameter slightly larger
than the guide pipe approx. 21mm. The cable guide (23534) is inserted and the square
base plate aligned, with a hole-free side parallel to a straight butt strap. The sheet is then
drilled on the pre-perforated sides of the square. The holes are trimmed from underneath.
The two frame sections are centred under the holes and drilled and screwed up with the
channels. The six holes already present in the sheet are also drilled from above through
the frame sections. The cable guide is replaced on the lower side, provided with sufficient
sealing paste (24114) secured with six M8x20 (24005) screws and riveted along the
transverse sides.
The antirotation cable (21403) is secured to the eyebold – as illustrated – which in turn is
attached to the 3“ cap, secured and lowered through the 3“ socket. The 3“ cap is screwed
as tightly as possible by hand. The cable is drawn through the cable guide in the cover
and then secured on the floor together with the spring. The spring is tensioned to 2/3 its
unloaded length with loose lower cable clamp, the cable is then clamped, the second
cable clamp fitted and the remainder of the cable cut off or neatly coiled. See Fig. 22
Fig. 22
17 Issue: 09/2012
4.3 Funnels
When providing gauging funnels, the upper funnel is laid centrally with the mark on the
cover and the internal diameter marked. The circle is neatly cut out, so that no excess
remains inside. The upper funnel is placed on again and aligned with one side of the
square flange parallel to the nearest butt strap. All pre-drilled holes are transferred to the
cover sheet. After drilling, the channels are fitted as described in 4.2 and drilled in a
similar way. Assembly of upper and lower funnels is performed as shown on drawings
23717-00D, 23718-00D and 23719-00D. Where it is planned to include nylon membranes,
it must be ensured that the slots running at 60° do not overlap.
4.4 Pipe-, roof column- and ladder negotiating devices

The provision of negotiating devices for pipes, roof supports or ladders see drawing
23725-00D, 23727-00D, 23728-00D or 53117-00D, is carried out in basically the same
way as described in 4.2 and 4.3. It must be ensured when laying the sheet, however, that
it is damaged as little as possible.

The sheet is cut open on one side for negotiating devices near the wall of the tank and
sufficient material cut out around the pipe entering to permit the remaining sheet slot is
later sealed with waste sheet, sealing paste (24114) and pop rivets (24018). The sheet is
cut right through for roof supports inside the tank, see Fig. 22, in order to avoid
deformation when further unrolled, Fig.23.
The seal firmly inserted in the sealing plate must be inspected before the two halves of
the plate are riveted together, to check whether it provides an efficient seal. Modify if
necessary. Ensure when riveting together that the rivet heads are on the underside of the
plate.
18 Issue: 09/2012
4.5 Negotiating devices for automatic gauging
In the case of automatic gauges already fitted with guide cables attached to roof and floor,
the cables are removed before fitting the cover. The float is drawn up from the roof for
plumbing, without it slipping out of its strip guide. After fitting the shaft, the cover is
positioned with the measuring tape guide at a negotiating device with guide rods, see
drawing 23722-00D. The measuring tape is released from the float and- after the seal has
been slit at the centre of the cover- drawn through the slit. The float is then reattached.
The two guide rods are then fitted so that there is at least 50mm safety spacing left
between their lower end and the floor of the tank. Warning: This spacing must apply to the
lower service position in the case of adjustable legs.
For floats without eyelet guides, a guide cage, see drawing 23723-00D, riveted to the
shaft, is used and the safety spacing of 50mm must also be observed here.
In the case of automatic gauges suitable for calibration to drawing 23721-00D, the lower
edge of the pipe-shaped shaft must also have a safety spacing of at least 50mm from the
floor.
5 Fitting the seal

Installation procedures for VACONOSEAL are described in the separate project
documentation.
6 Fitting the Antistatic system

The antistatic cables, see drawing 23713-00D, are usually taken from a roofmanhole
hatch to the cover.
The cables are first firmly secured to the screws in the roofmanhole hatch. A metallic
connection must be provided, i.e. paint and rust must be removed, so that the spring
washer can grip the hatch material. Check with an ohmmeter if possible.
The attachment points on the cover must be selected so that the cables are not
obstructed by any other vertical tank fitting. The lower service position must be taken into
account during installation in the case of adjustable legs.
7 Fitting floats on periphery

The floats are finally fitted on the periphery according to assembly drawing and drawing
53357-20-05M.
19 Issue: 09/2012
8 Antistatic paint
The painting work to TRbF 120 if necessary, the areas to be coated are specified on
assembly drawing. The areas indicated are marked and cleaned and then painted with
the green primer,Type 94, (mixing ratio paint to hardener 7:1). The black top coat (mixing
ratio paint o hardener 4:1) is applied when the undercoat has dried.
9 Drain pipes
The drain pipes are mounted as per drawing 23536-00D, 23942-00D, 53363-00D or
53405-00D, 1 pc. per sheet - in the center of the sheets.

Calculation of Valve-Manhole-Combination Vacono Project 17440
Mechanical Calculation, Document Code: 4694 / 4695

Issued: 02.11.2016
The calculation situation of valve-manhole combination is considered open. Usually hatch is closed, except
when landing on bottom plate. (150mm open, when on ground)
Assessment of boundary conditions
Qty of vent units n= 2 pcs.
Gapping Area = n * ( 2 * 1/2*0.500 * 0.150 + 0.600*0.150) [see sketch above]
Max. discharge velocity 11,21 m/s equals 8 mmWC per API 2000
Gapping Area = 0,33 m²
Q = 4/5 * √( 1600 * p) * A 0,8 coefficent for orifice flow friction

in reference to EC1; BS EN 1991-4: 2005+A1:2010; based on DIN 1055
a. outstream rate
b. instream rate
add. a
Deck has a loading capacity of 0,25 kN/m² thus this pressure difference furnishes in-stream:
Discharge velocity 11,21 m/s (fluid emptying mode)
Q= 2,958 m³/sec = 10649,909 m³/hour

Utilisation ratio η = 0,117 or 11,737 %
add. b
Deck has a distributed dead weight of 0,040 kN/m² thus this pressure difference furnishes out-stream:
Discharge velocity 7,99 m/s (fluid filling mode)
Q= 2,108 m³/sec = 7589,792 m³/hour

Utilisation ratio η = 0,165 or 16,469 %
specified pumping out rate of 1000 m³/h complies to API 650 by 2 vents
specified pumping in rate of 1000 m³/h complies to API 650 by 2 vents
Note: This calculation is set up in compliance to API 650 H.5.2.1
