Subpart D—Test and Calculation Procedures for Determining Stripping Quantity, Clingage NLS Residue, and Total NLS Residue top Source: CGD 81–101, 52 FR 7788, Mar. 12, 1987, unless otherwise noted. § 153.1600 Equipment required for conducting the stripping quantity test. top The operator shall ensure the stripping quantity test is conducted with— (a) Equipment that maintains a backpressure of at least 100 kPa (1 atm) (gauge) at the connection of the discharge line of the tank to be tested to the cargo transfer hose, including, but not limited to, piping whose discharge is 10 m above the manifold or a constant pressure valve in the discharge line and set at 100 kPa; (b) A container for measuring the volume of water remaining in the tank to an accuracy of ±5%; (c) A squeegee or broom to collect standing water on the tank floor; (d) One or more containers for collecting and transferring water; and (e) One of the following for transferring the water remaining in the tank to the measuring container: (1) A wet vacuum. (2) A positive displacement pump. (3) An eductor with an air/water separator in line. § 153.1602 Test procedure for determining the strippinq quantity. top (a) The stripping quantity of a tank must be determined by testing the tank under the procedures in paragraph (b) of this section unless the Coast Guard agrees under the provisions of §153.10 to accept the stripping quantity, previously determined under paragraph (b) of this section, of a tank having similar geometry, internal structure, and piping system. (b) When testing a tank for stripping quantity, the owner or operator of the ship shall proceed as follows: (1) Make arrangements with the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, for a Coast Guard Marine Inspector to witness the stripping test. (2) Clean and gas free the tanks to be tested. (3) Determine the least favorable values of list and trim for drainage within the range allowed by the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual. (4) Maintain the ship's list and trim during the test to that determined under paragraph (b)(3) of this section. (5) Load the tank with enough water so that unloading the water simulates the final stages of unloading a full tank of cargo. (6) Pump out the water and strip the tank using the procedures specified in the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual. (7) After shutting the manifold valve, open any cargo pump foot valve to allow water trapped in the cargo pump to drain into the tank. (8) Open all valves in the piping system except the manifold valve and allow the water to drain into the tank. (9) Squeegee or sweep the water drained under paragraphs (b)(7) and (b)(8) of this section and any water that stands in puddles on the tank floor to the tank's low point or sump and collect in the container required by §153.1600(b) using the equipment required in §153.1600(e). (10) With the manifold valve still closed, drain any water remaining in the piping system on the ship's side of the cargo transfer manifold valve into containers, and add this water to that collected from the tank under paragraph (b)(9) of this section. Water collected from a cargo line serving a block of tanks may be prorated between all the tanks it serves if— (i) The ship owner requests, under the provisions of §153.10, that the water be prorated; and (ii) The ship's approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual specifies that no tank in the block be washed until all the tanks in the block have been discharged. (c) Include any water that is trapped in dead end pipe sections, either by— (1) Draining the pipe sections and adding the water to that collected in the container under paragraphs (b)(9) and (b)(10) of this section; or (2) Adding an estimate of the water's volume to the sum calculated in paragraph (d) of this section using the pipe's dimensions, the ship's list and trim, and the geometry of the piping system. (d) Measure the volume of water collected in the container under paragraphs (b)(9), (b)(10), and (c)(1) of this section and add to that volume the volume, if any, estimated under paragraph (c)(2) of this section. § 153.1604 Determining the stripping quantity from the test results. top (a) For a single test, the stripping quantity is the volume of water calculated under §153.1602(d). (b) If multiple tests are made on a tank without modifications to the tank, pumping system, or stripping procedure between the tests, the stripping quantity must be taken as the average of the stripping quantities for all of the tests. (c) If multiple tests are made on a tank with modifications to the tank, pumping system, or stripping procedure between the tests, the stripping quantity is the stripping quantity determined under paragraph (b) of this section using only those tests performed after the last modification. § 153.1608 Calculation of total NLS residue and clingage NLS residue. top (a) The total NLS residue for each tank is calculated by adding the stripping quantity and the clingage NLS residue. (b) The clingage NLS residue for each tank is calculated using the following formula: Qclingage=1.1×10-4 Ad+1.5×10-5 Aw+4.5×10-4 L1/2 Ab where: Ab=Area of the tank bottom added to the area in square meters of tank structural components projected on a horizontal surface Ad=Area of the tank underdecks added to the area in square meters of tank structural components projected on a horizontal surface Aw=Area of the tank walls added to the area in square meters of tank structural components projected on a vertical surface L=Length of tank in meters from fore to aft Qclingage=volume of clingage in cubic meters When using the formula in this paragraph, areas that are inclined more than 30° from the horizontal may be assumed to be vertical. Note: The Commandant (G-MSO) (tel# 202–267–1217) has information that may be useful in approximating surface areas of typical structural members for the projected area calculations under §153.1608(b).

The cargo name must be as it appears in this column (see 153.900, 153.907). Words in italics are not part of the cargo name but may be used in addition to the cargo name. When one entry references another entry by use of the word ``see'', and both names are in roman type, either name may be used as the cargo name (e.g., Diethyl ether, see Ethyl ether). However, the referenced entry is preferred. The provisions contained in 46 CFR part 197, subpart C, apply to liquid cargoes containing 0.5% or more benzene by volume. b. This column lists the IMO Annex II Pollution Category. A, B, C, D_NLS Category of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78. III_Appendix III of Annex II (non-NLS cargoes) of MARPOL 73/78. #_No determination of NLS status. For shipping on an oceangoing vessel, see 46 CFR 153.900(c). [ ]_A NLS category in brackets indicates that the product is provisionally categorized and that further data are necessary to complete the evaluation of its pollution hazards. Until the hazard evaluation is completed, the pollution category assigned is used. @_The NLS category has been assigned by the U.S. Coast Guard, in absence of one assigned by the IMO. The category is based upon a GESAMP Hazard Profile or by analogy to a closely related product having an NLS assigned. c. This column lists the hazard(s) of the commodity: S_The commodity is included because of its safety hazards. P_The commodity is included because of its pollution hazards. S/P_The commodity is included because of both its safety and pollution hazards. d. This column lists the type of containment system the cargo must have (see 153.230 through 153.232). e. This column lists the height of any vent riser required (see 153.350 and 153.351). f. This column lists any vent control valve required (see 153.355). g. This column lists the type of gauging system required (see 153.400 through 153.406). h. This column lists the type of fire protection system required. Where more than one system is listed, any listed system may be used. A dry chemical system may not be substituted for either type of foam system unless the dry chemical system is listed as an alternative or the substitution is approved by Commandant (G-MSO) (see 153.460). The types are as follows: A is a foam system for water soluble cargoes (polar solvent foam). B is a foam system for water insoluble cargoes (non-polar solvent foam). C is a water spray system. D is a dry chemical system. NSR means there is no special requirement applying to fire protection systems. i. This column lists sections that apply to the cargo in addition to the general requirements of this part. The 153 Part number is omitted. j. This column lists the electrical hazard class and group used for the cargo when determining requirements for electrical equipment under Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering) of this chapter. A number of electrical hazard class and group assignments are based upon that which appears in ``Classification of Gases, Liquids and Volatile Solids Relative to Explosion-Proof Electrical Equipment'', Publication NMAB 353-5, National Academy Press, 1982, when not appearing in NFPA 497M, ``Manual for Classification of Gases, Vapors and Dusts for Electrical Equipment in Hazardous (Classified) Locations.'' The I-B electrical hazard does not apply to weather deck locations (see 46 CFR Part 111) for inorganic acids: Chlorosulfonic acid; Hydrochloric acid; Nitrating acid; Nitric acid (70% or less); Oleum; Phosphoric acid; Sulfuric acid. Abbreviations used in the Table: NR_No requirement. NA_Not applicable. Abbreviations for Noxious Liquid cargoes: N.F._non-flammable (flash point greater than 60 deg C (140 deg F) closed cup (cc)). F._flammable (flash point less than or equal to 60 deg C (140 deg F) closed cup (cc)). n.o.s._not otherwise specified. ST_Ship type. Cat_Pollution category. Footnotes for Specific Cargoes: 1. Special applicability: 153.440 and .908(a) apply to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a viscosity of 25 mPa.s at 20 deg C (68 deg F). 153.440 and .908(b) apply to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a melting point of 0 deg C (32 deg F) and above. 153.488 applies to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a melting point of 15 deg C (59 deg F) and above. 2. Benzene containing cargoes. Applies to mixtures containing no other components with safety hazards and where the pollution category is C or less. 3. Diammonium salt of Zinc ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution; Tetraethylenepentamine. Aluminum is a questionable material of construction with this cargo since pitting and corrosion has been reported. The IMO Chemical Code prohibits aluminum as a material of construction for this cargo. 4. 2,4-Dichlorophenol. Some tank pitting has been reported when this cargo is contaminated with water, including moisture in the air. The IMO Chemical Code requires that the vapor space over this cargo be kept dry. 5. Reserved. 6. Diphenylmethane diisocyanate; Hexamethylene diisocyanate; Isophorone diisocyanate; Polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate; Toluene diisocyanate; Trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (2,2,4- and 2,4,4- isomers). Water is effective in extinguishing open air fires but will generate hazardous quantities of gas if put on the cargo in enclosed spaces. 7. Maleic anhydride; Nitroethane; Nitroethane, 1-Nitropropane mixtures; 1- or 2-Nitropropane; Nitropropane, Nitroethane mixtures. Dry chemical extinguishers should not be used on fires involving these cargoes since some dry chemicals may react with the cargo and cause an explosion. 8. Xylenes. Special requirement .908(b) only applies to the para- (p-) isomer, and mixtures containing the para-isomer having a melting point of 0 deg C (32 deg F) or more.
