What is the capacity factor for storage tanks of non-Class A and B materials?
Thread Content
I need help figuring out what the appropriate maximum capacity factor is for non-Class A and B storage tanks Are there any relevant regulations? For petrochemical oil products, the specified value for Class A and B storage tanks is 0.85; it rises to 0.9 for tanks with a capacity of over 1,000 cubic meters.
The capacity factor of storage tanks for non-A and B class materials depends on factors such as the properties of the materials, as well as the design and operating conditions of the tanks. Generally, the capacity factor of storage tanks for materials not classified as Category A or B is higher than that of tanks for Category A and B materials, but the specific value needs to be determined based on actual conditions. At present, there are no specific regulations in China regarding the maximum capacity coefficient for storage tanks holding non-Class A and B materials. However, when designing such tanks, it is necessary to meet relevant safety technical requirements to ensure their safety and reliability. It is recommended that you refer to relevant standards and specifications when designing storage tanks, and take engineering practices into comprehensive consideration. .
