Realistic flow and valve behaviour testing
Ventiq, with its advanced test facility, is able to perform flow, fire and valve behaviour testing on devices for venting of tanks. 
The facility is designed to execute relevant tests and to document the various characteristics of high velocity pressure vacuum valves, flame arresters, inline p/v valves and numerous types of vent valves. This means weak and faulty designs, from any producer, will be revealed to the benefit and to enlighten the owners/designers/shipyards and, last but not least, to secure the ship and its crew.
Pressure drop calculations
The capacity of the cargo vent pipe system is to be documented through pressure drop/flowrate curves. When calculating the pressure drop, the pipe lenght along with vapour growth rate, Density, Maximum cargo tank pressure to mention a few things – all needed to get the cargo pipe system to work properly and according to rules and regulations.
Ventiq can be of assistance when pressure drop calculations are in question. As part of the service for beeing on the spec or when valves are ordered, given project values will be compared to the caractheristic of the p/v valves and together with the present rules and regulations such as IMO MSC,1/Circ,1324 and IMO MSC/Circ.450 Rev.1, an advice will be given.
Feel free to contact Ventiq for any further discussions for new projects and upgrades of existing cargo vent systems
International rules and regulations
Shipping is an international business and IMO is setting the record straight and deals with the demands for unified rules and regulations. There is, therefore, a need for international standards to regulate shipping – which can be adopted and accepted by all. This also affect, among other things, the design and operation of ships carrying liquid cargo and the safe venting of its cargo. Designs from Ventiq complies with the latest rules and regulation related to beyond international rules.
