Table 8.4.3 in GB50160
Thread Content
Could some expert please advise me? Table 8.4.3 in GB50160 provides fire protection water requirements only for medium and large-scale process unit areas. How should such requirements be determined for the process unit areas of small oil refining enterprises?
For this, one can refer to the explanatory provisions in Article 8.4.3 of GB50160. Firstly, **there are no clear regulations regarding the classification of large, medium, and small devices** ； Secondly, according to item 1 of clause 8.4.3 in GB50160, \"the fire-fighting water demand for process installations shall be determined through comprehensive consideration of factors such as their scale, fire hazard classification, and the installation of fire-fighting facilities.\" ”The principles for determining the fire-fighting water demand are provided; no specific numerical requirements are given. Values are to be selected according to Table 8.4.3 only when it is difficult to determine them. Generally speaking, it depends on the specific situation.
