Same question: With the same molecular weight of H2O, to which category do ice, water, and steam belong?
For GB50016-2008 (2018 edition), see terms 2.0.19 and 2.0.20； Liquid ethane should belong to liquefied hydrocarbons, while liquefied petroleum gas mainly refers to compressed and liquefied gases composed of carbon atoms 3 and 4. Thank you!
What standards are used by design institutes for classification during design?
This depends on the type of process flow you design, the scale of the facility, its geographical location, the way and quantity of raw materials are stored, etc. For typical small and medium-sized petrochemical enterprises, regulations related to building design and petrochemical operations are mainly applicable； Large oil depots are designed in accordance with oil depot standards, fire safety regulations, building codes, and other relevant regulations
