Regarding petrochemical regulations
Thread Content
What are the main differences between GB50156-2008 Fire Protection Standards for Petrochemical Design and GB50160-2008 Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Plants?
The difference is that one is 50156 and the other is 50160; no difference can be seen in the others either. It’s strange – I’ve never seen this before. Welcome to visit and provide your guidance: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-5669064-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum)
1. Construction facilities with explosion hazards must comply with petrochemical regulations； 2. The scope of substances covered by the fire hazard classification for petrochemical industries is relatively narrow, being limited to those commonly found in petroleum and chemical enterprises ； 3. Building codes only specify the fire protection measures for buildings and structures, while petrochemical codes are comprehensive guidelines as well ； 4. The requirements for fire separation distances are not uniform; generally, the petrochemical regulations are more lenient ； 5. The building code contains no regulations regarding open-frame installations. Let’s start with these. The lack of uniform design standards is an old problem; not only these two standards but also those for oil storage facilities exist, and the acceptance requirements vary from place to place. Sometimes, designs are prepared in accordance with petrochemical industry regulations, while inspections are carried out based on building codes. It is necessary for higher-level authorities to step in to ensure uniformity.
GB 50156 Technical Standards for Automobile Fuel, Gas, and Hydrogen Refueling Stations
50156 is the standard for gas stations; the standard number does not correspond to the name
How did you get the standard number and name? They don’t match at all
There are many relevant design standards, with strict requirements for design, review, and acceptance
GB 50156-2021 Technical Standards for Automobile Fuel, Gas, and Hydrogen Refueling Stations
GB 50156-2021 is the technical standard for automobile fueling, gas filling, and hydrogen refueling stations, while GB 50160-2008 is the fire protection design standard for petrochemical enterprises (2018 edition); the two standards are different.
