General description
Application
Outward opening manhole cover type HLSD-2 is used on top of
pressurized tanks and containers where closeable means of
access to the interior of the vessel is required. HLSD-2 is
approved and can be used on pressure vessels according to
PED 97/23/EC.
Working principle
HLSD-2 is secured in the closed position by swingbolts, which,
together with the seal in the cover, ensure complete tightness.
The cover is attached to the frame by a rigid hinge, giving exact
location of the cover in the closed position and designed to stop
the cover at an angle of 20-30° beyond the vertical position
when opening.

IM-TE91K041-EN1
Intended purpose
Alfa Laval covers are suitable for different applications (e.g.: filling, emptying, access for cleaning or
inspection, general access opening etc.).
Clients must specify the detailed version of each cover required. The client must determine the
Intended Purpose of the cover from the technical data of the whole container / vessel (Including details
such as Working / Design Pressures and Temps etc.).
Warranty – definition
Warning: The rules of Intended Purpose are absolute. Use of the cover is allowed only when in
compliance with the technical data supplied with the Intended Purpose.
Differing utilisation, other than agreed with Alfa Laval Tank Equipment A/S, exclude
any liability and warranty.
No modification or alteration of the cover is allowed, unless explicit permission is
granted by Alfa Laval Tank Equipment A/S.
Liability and warranty are excluded:
•If advice and instruction of operating instructions are ignored.
•For incorrect operation or for insufficient maintenance of the cover.
•For any kind of change of function of cover without prior written agreement by Alfa Laval Tank
Equipment A/S.
•If covers are modified by non-authorised persons.
•If using the covers without attention of appropriate safety regulations. (See respective section of
this operating instruction, page 8).
•If protection equipment is not used and vessel process / ancillary equipment is not brought to a
standstill.
•If the cover and ancillary parts are not properly maintained (to be executed in intervals and
including fitting of prescribed replacement parts).
When exchanging parts, only original replacement parts, released from the manufacturer, must be
used.

Page 8 Instruction Manual, HLSD-2 Circular Access Tank Cover
IM-TE91K041-EN1
Safety regulations
Warning All operators must be trained / certified to work in the area of the container operation
and must abide by the site safety regulations.
All work on the cover must be carried out by competent staff with knowledge of the
relevant rules of operation of container and pressure container.
When the removal of protection equipment is necessary for cleaning or maintenance
purpose, assembly and examination of protection equipment has to follow immediately!
Before opening the cover, check the pressure of the container. Only open the cover
when the container is not under pressure.
Conditions are not allowed to exceed pressure and temperature specified. The
Pressure (PS) and Temperature (TS) are written on each cover.
When filling and emptying the container, the regulations regarding contact of the liquid
or content (e.g. foodstuff) must be kept.
National rules regarding use and test frequency must be followed.
Components
Depending of the detailed version of the cover, specified by the customer, components are attached
accordingly.
Typical components according to drawing:
•Screws complete (number according to description)
•Hinge / swivelling feature
•Screwed sight glass / circular sight glass
•Spring assist
•Limit switch
•Locking bolt
•Safety grill
•Safety valve
•Etc for other special items agreed

Instruction Manual, HLSD-2 Circular Access Tank Cover Page 9
IM-TE91K041-EN1
Weld into position
To tack in, frame and vessel wall have to be adjusted carefully.
By applying the tack weld, the weld crack has to be small. Short distances between the tack welds
prevent deformation.
During the welding of the neck to the container, it is preferable to have the cover lid closed and the
operational seal removed (to be replaced by a temporary seal / spacer). This will give added rigidity to
the neck when welding in and avoid heat transfer damage to the seal.
After welding, gasket seating has to be checked against circular and plane. If there is a difference of
more than 1 mm, gasket seating has to be put in right form.
Assembly
When surface treatment is completed (ground, pickled, polished, shot-blasted etc), all components
have to be assembled carefully.
Screws / Swing-pins must be assembled completely (i.e. securing the bolts with the safety cir-clips,
clamp sleeve, washer and nut / handle to be correctly assembled to the screws / swing-pins).
Before starting a process or putting the container under pressure / temperature, all equipment must be
checked to ensure correct functionality; (hinge, gasket seating, screws/swing-pins including all safety
cir-clips assembled, locking bolt, nuts/handles etc.)
Material lifetime
As the customer selects the material by order, no warranty in relation to material lifetime is offered by
Alfa Laval Tank Equipment A/S. It is the responsibility of the operator to make sure, that product
coming in contact with the cover or seal, are suitable and the materials and seal are sufficiently
resistant to the product / conditions.

Page 10 Instruction Manual, HLSD-2 Circular Access Tank Cover
IM-TE91K041-EN1
Closure of cover
The operator is responsible for the safe closure of the cover. Ensure before closing that the container is
not occupied by persons, animals or inadmissible objects.
Ensure before closing the cover that the sealing surface is free from any obstructions (i.e. body parts or
equipment) as injury or damage can occur.
Al parts relevant to security and pressure has to be checked visually before closing the cover. (e.g.
gasket, gasket seating, screws).
Cover has to be closed carefully without force. Look after good centralisation. Ensure seal is positioned
correctly and that contact area is clean.
Lid and neck should have a little lateral clearance, so that the gasket seating does not have metal
contact.
Centre of lid flange has to enclose the gasket seating of the neck perfectly.
Screws/swing-pins are to be put in the correct position, so that the machined face of sleeves clings to
the outside groove of the lid flange.
The bolting arrangement must be tightened evenly and to a set torque when using a max allowable
torque procedure in several steps as follows:
a) 50% torque
b) 80% torque
c) Max. torque
Cross tightening of the bolting arrangement should be used when applying torque to the nut / handle
(e.g. North, South, East, West where appropriate).
The maximum torque for the screws is 40 Nm for M12 Screws and 60 Nm for M16 Screws.

Instruction Manual, HLSD-2 Circular Access Tank Cover Page 11
IM-TE91K041-EN1
Opening of cover
The operator is responsible for the safe opening of the cover. Before opening the cover, ensure the
container is checked to be free from pressure, heat and chemical vapours.
If necessary, protective clothing and protective eyewear have to be used especially for high
temperatures, for caustic or toxic liquid applications etc.
Like with closing, all nuts / handles should be opened symmetrically. Cross opening of the bolting
arrangement should be used when opening the cover (e.g. North, South, East, West where
appropriate).
Opened lid to be set down securely / carefully, to avoid damage to lid / seal (if possible use a spring
loaded locking pin) and to prevent lid falling downwards accidentally causing injury.
Cleaning
The complete cover has to be cleaned as per the recommendations of the manufacturer of the
container.
It is the responsible of the operator to ensure that all cleaning agents used do not have an adverse
affect on the cover materials and the seal. Cleaning agents should be thoroughly removed after use.
During C.I.P., it is imperative that the temperature does not rise above the recommended temperature
of the cover/seal causing damage.
Maintenance
Cover has to be checked regularly for damage (e.g. gasket, gasket seating, nut / screw and complete
swing assembly, hinge, spring, etc. - Only Alfa Laval recommended spare parts to be used).
We recommend inspection of each cover at least annually against mechanical damage, corrosion and
tightness.
Other
When ordering replacement parts, we require the order number and the Alfa Laval serial number stated
on the cover / lid.
