Can galvanized pipes be used for the exhaust line of atmospheric-pressure storage tanks for flammable media?
Thread Content
Dear teachers: Can galvanized pipes be used for the exhaust lines of atmospheric-pressure storage tanks containing flammable media? Can it be connected with threads? Which specification requires it? Thank you
The use of galvanized pipes for exhaust lines carrying flammable media is not recommended, as the inner lining of such pipes gradually wears away over time, which can pose safety hazards. At the same time, threaded connections may not ensure good sealing in some cases, and there is also a risk of air leakage. For specific requirements, refer to the relevant provisions on pipeline materials and connection methods in the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petroleum and Chemical Enterprises\" GB50160. .
