Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology,
Subcommittee SC 3, Piping and machinery.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5483:2003), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the normative references have been updated;
— Clause 3 has been added;
— in Clause 4, Type C and Type D for jack-up platform have been added;
— in Clause 5, the general arrangement and parts list for Type C and Type D have been added;
— in Clause 6, mounting and main dimensions for Type C and Type D assembly have been added;
— Figure 6 has been moved to 6.5;
— in Clause 7, designations for welding rings in Type C and Type D have been added;
— in Clause 8, details for Type C and Type D drain screws in water tanks and oil tanks have been
added;
— in Clause 9, marking has been updated and added for Type D;
— in Clause 10, opening methods for drain facilities have been added;
— Annex A has been added.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5483:2023(E)
Ships and marine technology — Drain facilities from oil
and water tanks
1 Scope
This document specifies the dimensions and materials for welding rings and drain screws of drain
facilities situated at the bottom of oil and water tanks.
Oil and water tanks occur as:
— built-in tanks, as an integrated part of the hull structure; and
— detachable tanks, located in appropriate rooms and compartments.
This document covers facilities for both instances.
2 Normative references

constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

4 Designation
For the purposes of this document, four types of drain facilities are covered:
— Type A, which is universally applicable, especially where flush mounting with the outer surface of
hull plating at plate thickness is less than 38 mm;

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO 5483:2023(E)
— Type B and Type C, which are usable in other instances where the Type A is not applicable;
— Type D, which is used in jackup platforms where flush mounting with the outer surface of hull
plating.
NOTE Type A, B, C and D arrangements are identified by the following two categories of drain screws:
— square wrench connection for water tanks, and
— hexagonal wrench connection for oil tanks.
5 General assembly arrangement
5.1 Assembly
For Type A, refer to Figure 1 and Table 1. For Type B, refer to Figure 2 and Table 2. For Type C, refer to
Figure 3 and Table 3.
For Type D, refer to Figure 4 and Table 4.
