Definition of flammable and explosive tank areas

2024-02-13View Original

Thread Content

Dear teachers: According to the \"Technical Requirements for the Acceptance of Safety Monitoring and Early Warning Systems for Flammable and Explosive Tank Areas\" (GB 17681-1999), section 5.5 stipulates that liquid storage tanks must be equipped with level detection instruments, and at least two different types of such instruments shall be installed in each tank. Storage tanks holding flammable and explosive materials should be equipped with high and low level alarm circuits; where necessary, they should also have an interlock system linking the liquid level to relevant process parameters. This standard does not provide a definition for flammable and explosive tank areas; what are the criteria for such areas?

Flammable and explosive tank areas generally refer to storage areas for flammable and explosive substances such as oils and chemicals. Such areas may contain multiple tanks used to store flammable and explosive liquids or gases such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, organic solvents, and liquefied gas. Due to the flammable and explosive nature of the items stored in this area, high safety standards are required, and special safety management measures and technical requirements are typically implemented to control risks. Regarding standards, definitions and requirements may be established with reference to relevant regulations such as the Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals. .
