codes and standards. Tanks designed to ASME code are tested
to at least 230 psi (15.9 bar). CE marked tanks are tested to at
least 255 psi (17.6 bar). All CHEMGUARD bladder tanks are
constructed of steel complying with ASME specifications. Tank
heads are 2:1 elliptical unless otherwise specified.
All CHEMGUARD bladder tanks include a permanently affixed
stainless steel ASME data plate. At a minimum, the data
plate includes the following information: year of manufac-
ture, maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), nominal
volume, part number, National Board number, minimum mate-
rial thickness, minimum design metal temperature (MDMT), and
type of head used.

Approvals and Certifications

CHEMGUARD bladder tanks are UL Listed and FM Approved for
use with various CHEMGUARD foam concentrates and propor-
tioners. The UL mark and FM Approval diamond are applied at
the factory along with a label identifying the CHEMGUARD foam
concentrate for use in the tank.
Every tank bears a permanently affixed ASME data plate
showing the National Board number which identifies the tank
as compliant with ASME code Section VIII, Division 1 for unfired
pressure vessels.
CHEMGUARD bladder tanks 200 gal (757 L) and larger are CE
marked in conformance with the European Pressure Equipment
Directive, 2014/68/EU. Under European Pressure Equipment
Directive 2014/68/EU, tanks smaller than 200 gal (757 L) are
acceptable based on sound engineering practices of ASME code
and cannot be CE marked.
CHEMGUARD bladder tanks up to 800 gal (3,028 L) meet the
minimum requirements for Seismic Zone 4 Earthquake Resistant
Design as calculated according to the 1997 Uniform Building
Code.

Operation and Maintenance

Refer to the CHEMGUARD Horizontal and Vertical Bladder Tank
Operation and Maintenance Manual for detailed procedures on
installation, operation, inspection, and maintenance. A printed
copy of this manual is included with every tank.
