Fire protection distance between the conveyor belt and surrounding buildings and structures
Thread Content
Question: Which standard should be referred to for determining the fire separation distance between conveyor belts (long-distance conveyors used for transporting ore, coal, bulk grains, etc.) and surrounding buildings and structures (such as offices, power distribution rooms, port roads, Class C warehouses, etc.)?
The fire separation distance between belt conveyors and surrounding buildings and structures shall be determined in accordance with the standards **\"Mine Belt Conveyors\" (GB/T 10595-2019)** and **\"Safety Specifications for Material Handling Machinery\" (GB/T 24496-2009)**. The specific fire separation distance should be determined by taking into account local fire safety regulations and actual conditions. It is recommended to consult professional design and installation firms during the design and installation process, and to follow relevant regulations and standards strictly. .
Refer to the Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises (2018 edition) GB 50160-2008； Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings GB 50016
The two standard specifications you mentioned are incorrect; the standard for \"Mine Belt Conveyors\" (GB/T 10595-2019) should be GB/T 10595-2017 Belt Conveyors； GB/T 24496-2009 is \"Keyway-type vertical joints with connecting bars between reinforced concrete slabs and filled with concrete – Laboratory mechanical testing – Effect of in-plane tangential loads.\"
This is the equipment standard. Where is the fire separation distance?
The fire separation distance between belt conveyors and surrounding buildings and structures can be determined with reference to the following standards: the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\" (GB 50016). This code specifies the requirements for fire separation distances between buildings, and it can be applied to the design of such distances between belt conveyors and adjacent buildings. The \"Hygienic Standards for the Design of Industrial Enterprises\" (GBZ 1) address the hygienic and safety requirements for industrial enterprises, including regulations on fire separation distances. The \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\" (GB 50160) is applicable to petrochemical enterprises and includes requirements for the fire separation distance between belt conveyors and buildings. The \"Code for Design of Mines in the Coal Industry\" (GB 50215) specifies the fire separation distances between belt conveyors and buildings for the coal industry. The \"Code for Design of Grain Warehouses\" (GB 50320) is applicable to grain warehouses and includes requirements for the fire separation distance between belt conveyors and the warehouses. The \"Code for Port Engineering Design\" (JTS 165) is applicable to port projects, and it specifies the fire separation distances for facilities such as conveyor belts and port roads. The \"Code for Construction and Acceptance of Conveying Equipment Installation Projects\" (GB 50270) covers the installation and acceptance of conveying equipment, including requirements regarding fire separation distances. Local regulations: Some areas may have more specific requirements regarding fire separation distances; it is necessary to refer to local regulations. These specifications must be considered comprehensively during the design process to ensure that the fire separation distance between the conveyor belt and surrounding buildings meets the requirements.
