Oil tank floating disk
Thread Content
I have two questions for everyone: 1. In Article 6.2.2 of GB50160 (2018 edition), does “metal floating pontoon type floating roof or internal floating roof” include metal pontoon type floating decks? 2. Is the aluminum floating disk a readily soluble material?
1 should include 2 Aluminum is a readily soluble material
1 should include 2 Aluminum is a readily soluble material
The first one is definitely that; the second one is, how are readily soluble materials defined in the standards? Is it listed in the appendix? Please reply after reading it
GB50160 does not contain a definition of readily soluble materials. There is only Appendix A, which specifies the start and end points of the fire separation distance; no other appendices exist. According to the explanatory notes: 6.2.1 Metal floating tank types include steel floating tanks as well as those made of soluble materials (such as aluminum floating tanks and stainless steel modular floating tanks). Here, does “floating stainless steel modular floating pad” refer to a floating pad made of a soluble material?
Agree with the view from the 3rd floor; aluminum floating pads have not been used for a long time now. Especially for the raw materials and auxiliary materials used in certain petrochemical projects, which may contain organic acids or acidic/basic impurities, these can have a significant impact on the service life of aluminum floating pads. Aluminum certainly has its advantages as well, but it is still necessary to check the corrosion resistance details in the manual based on the specific medium used in the project.
Buoy types (whether made of aluminum or stainless steel) are considered fusible materials. The fully submerged aluminum floating disc is not considered a fusible material, as explained by the editorial board.
