Which codes should be referred to for Class A warehouses within oil depots?
Thread Content
The main materials stored in the oil depot are fuel oil and light diesel, with a total storage capacity of 115,000 cubic meters. There are also various other items such as paint and oil-containing cotton yarns used for cleaning equipment. According to the inspections conducted by the safety supervision agency, it is necessary to set up a separate small warehouse for storing these items. Based on the classification of fire hazards, this warehouse should be classified as a Class A warehouse; a size of 4m×6m would be sufficient. What are the requirements regarding the fire separation distances between this Class A warehouse and offices, laboratories, vehicle loading/unloading facilities, power distribution rooms, etc.? Which standards should be referred to? Also, can laboratory reagents such as concentrated sulfuric acid be stored in this Class A warehouse?
The distance from other buildings should be determined in accordance with the requirements for Class A warehouses as specified in the building codes. The petroleum storage facility standards state clearly that \"wherever this standard specifies something, such provisions shall be followed.\" ； Where not specified in these specifications, the provisions of **current relevant standards shall apply**.
For Class A warehouses, the maximum allowable area is 750 square meters, with each fire compartment having an area of 250 square meters. Fire separation distances are also specified in the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings.
