Can Class A storage tanks be placed in a Class A warehouse?
Thread Content
There are two horizontal storage tanks for raw materials (Category A), each with a capacity of 20 cubic meters. The client requires it to be placed in a raw material warehouse (Class A). I have never encountered such a situation before, so I’m seeking advice from everyone to see if this approach is feasible Is there any basis to justify the standard?
Specific details can be discussed upon contact. Those with similar experience should be considered first; the design should be carried out based on the physical properties of the materials. In my opinion, storage tanks should not be located inside warehouses but rather outdoors, with shading structures and such in place
It seems inappropriate. In terms of quantity, it far exceeds the maximum allowable amount of 0.1 specified in 50016 ； It definitely confirms that it belongs to Category A. I think you should still be cautious; pull it out and enclose it with a fire dike. If the owner can’t handle safety supervision, they might end up asking you to do it bottle by bottle, dam by dam...
As far as I remember, only Class C storage tanks can be placed in warehouses, such as those for lubricants and the like. Class A storage tanks should not be placed in warehouses. The building codes only state that the volume of Class C storage tanks installed in the factory building must not exceed 5 cubic meters. How can a Class A tank with a capacity of 20 cubic meters be stored in a warehouse?
It cannot be placed in the raw material warehouse. It can also be stored in a warehouse; this warehouse should be semi-outdoor, equipped with fire dikes and partitions, and it should be independent
In the factory building, tanks with a capacity of less than 5 m3 are arranged separately. Do you think a Class A metering tank smaller than 5m3 is suitable for placement in a factory building?
Thank you all for your help. Now it’s planned to move it outside
