What are the considerations for the installation and design of floor scales at oil unloading points? Or which design specification specifies it? This post was last edited by wcxhuwei on 2007-12-7 07:43]
However, the oil unloading point should be in an explosion-proof area, right? In that case, the installation and design of the floor scale must take explosion protection into account. Or move the floor scale to another location; try not to place it in an explosion-proof area to avoid trouble.
The installation and design of the floor scales at the oil unloading points take into account ease of vehicle access during use as well as convenient management
Which areas are considered to be explosion-proof zones? I just want to add a floor scale after entering the gate that leads to the oil unloading area. In this way, the vehicle can be weighed as it enters, and again when it exits.
Do you have any information on floor scales?
In accordance with the fire protection design codes for petrochemical industries, areas that are not within the safety zone of the loading and unloading platforms can be considered safe zones. Generally, the car dealership has a large area, so it is sufficient to be outside that area in order to ensure smooth vehicle operation.
The explosion-proof area is determined by the process engineering team. If you are, then it is up to you to decide; for details on how to define it, refer to Section 1.3 of Chapter 8 in the Chemical Process Handbook. (I’m not sure what kind of oil you’re removing, but I guess it’s more likely to be from an explosion-proof area.) ) But if possible, you can move the scale to another location; it’s not necessary for it to be very close to the oil unloading point – it’s sufficient as long as the vehicle passes by the scale when entering and leaving.
