Regarding the color of storage tanks
Thread Content
A new compressed air storage tank was installed recently; the topcoat used is sky blue, the same color as that of the nitrogen storage tanks in the company. Thinking about it, there are too many sky blue pipes and storage tanks (oxygen cylinders, compressed air pipes, nitrogen storage tanks, and other equipment). Is there any standard regarding this?
Yes, our compressed air storage tanks are also blue, but our liquid nitrogen storage tanks are white, mainly to absorb as little solar heat as possible. I’m not really aware of any specific regulations regarding the color of equipment; I only know that there is a standard for industrial pipelines, namely \"Basic Identification Colors, Identification Symbols, and Safety Markings for Industrial Pipelines\" (GB 7231–2003). I guess this falls under corporate behavior! This post was last edited by dongzhao on 2009-4-2 11:48]
White is used more these days; it’s decided by the manufacturer themselves. You can refer to discussions from previous versions: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=409061 http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=121908
