Issues regarding the fire protection piping for tanks

2009-08-25View Original

Thread Content

Regarding the safety requirements for such projects as tanks (such as the suction tank of the second stage of a compressor, etc.), in addition to having fire hoses for protection, it is also necessary to install fire rings around the tank body. But must these rings be closed? Since there is also a ladder on the tank, the closed loop pipe will definitely collide with the ladder; therefore, whether the pipe needs to remain open or not has an impact on the spraying process I earnestly ask for your guidance

2# zzna: In fact, the loop pipe can also be placed relatively close to the equipment wall; it can pass through the space between the ladder and the equipment wall without causing any major issues. There’s another problem as well: the project uses PDS, and when using PIPE BENDs to create the loop pipes, it’s difficult to form a closed shape that allows for proper connection (if it’s closed, an ISO diagram can only be generated if the ends are connected). If the shape isn’t closed, then it’s much easier to create the model and generate the diagrams. I would like to ask whether, in other projects, there have been cases where fire protection loop pipes didn’t need to be closed Thank you so much

We can achieve closure using Cadworx.

It doesn’t have to be closed; additionally, when the loop tube encounters a ladder, it can be wrapped around the tank to go past it.
