CS 29.1015 Oil tank tests

Q: What loads must an oil tank be designed and installed to withstand without failure?

Each oil tank must be designed and installed so that it can withstand, without failure, any vibration, inertia, and fluid loads to which it may be subjected in operation.

Q: What is the minimum test pressure for an oil tank that is not a pressurised tank used with a turbine engine?

For all other tanks (i.e., not pressurised tanks used with a turbine engine), the test pressure may not be less than 34 kPa (5 psi).

Q: Which CS 29.965 requirement does CS 29.1015 refer to, and what exception is allowed?

CS 29.1015 requires that each oil tank meets the requirements of CS 29.965, except that instead of the pressure specified in CS 29.965(b), the test pressure is as specified in CS 29.1015(b)(1) or (b)(2).

ED Decision 2003/16/RM

Each oil tank must be designed and installed so that –

(a) It can withstand, without failure, any vibration, inertia, and fluid loads to which it may be subjected in operation; and

(b) It meets the requirements of CS 29.965, except that instead of the pressure specified in CS 29.965(b) –

(1) For pressurised tanks used with a turbine engine, the test pressure may not be less than 34 kPa (5 psi) plus the maximum operating pressure of the tank; and

(2) For all other tanks, the test pressure may not be less than 34 kPa (5 psi).
