KEEL BLOCK PLACEMENT METHOD FOR THE TANK STRENGTH TESTING OF LPG SHIP

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for arranging keel blocks for a strength test of a tank for an LPG carrier, which is to arrange keel blocks in order to conduct a strength test of a tank for an LPG carrier inside a dock. The method for arranging keel blocks for a strength test of a tank for an LPG carrier comprises: a step of vertically installing first keel blocks on the floor of a dock in order to conduct a strength test of a tank for an LPG carrier; a step of sorting keel blocks into keel blocks to be reused and keel blocks to be demolished during a tank strength test of a second tank immediately before moving a first tank which has completed a tank strength test; a step of dropping the keel blocks to be demolished when the first tank moves; a step of vertically installing second keel blocks which are added for a tank strength test of the second tank besides the keel blocks to be reused; and a step of collecting the keel blocks to be demolished upon completion of the moving of the first tank mounting and the mounting of the second tank. Therefore, the method can shorten tank strength test processes and can prevent environment contamination caused by discharge water after the tank strength test, compared with the conventional LPG carrier tank strength test which is conducted on the inner wall.
