Regarding the issue of fire separation distances
Thread Content
Seeking advice: In Table 4.3.1 of the \"GB50016-2014 Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\", regarding wet combustible gas storage tanks (total volume V, in m3), for example, what is the fire protection distance required between 2 wet combustible gas storage tanks with a volume of 5000 m3 each and a pile of combustible materials? Should the fire protection distance be calculated based on the volume of one tank or based on the total volume of both tanks? I’m a bit confused and would appreciate guidance from those with experience.
Both storage tanks must meet the requirements.
Table 4.3.1 of GB50016 specifies in the first row the wet-type flammable gas storage tanks (total volume V, in m3)
