Regarding boiling liquids in fire protection codes

Thread Content

The provisions in the fire protection codes are interpreted as follows: when the temperature of the medium stored in the tank area rises. A viscous hydrocarbon mixture in which boiling over occurs due to heat transfer, causing the water layer at the bottom of the tank to vaporize rapidly. The explanation in the subsequent text states that it mainly refers to crude oil, residue oil, heavy oil, etc. There are a few things I don’t understand, so I’d like to discuss them with everyone. 1. Is there a difference between heavy oil and heavy petroleum products here? 2. Do paraffin oils and sludges belong to the category of boiling liquids?

The main characteristic of foaming liquids is that they tend to form bubbles easily and these bubbles do not dissipate readily.

Paraffin oil and slurry are definitely boiling liquids.

**Are there any relevant regulations that specify which substances are boiling liquids? Same question: does fuel oil belong to the category of boiling liquids? !
