Questions regarding the fire separation distances for Class A and B liquid storage tanks
Thread Content
According to building codes, the fire separation distance between liquid storage tanks of categories A, B, and C is as follows: for tanks storing liquids of categories A and B, when the volume is less than 1000 cubic meters, the fire separation distance is 0.75D; when the volume is greater than 1000 cubic meters, it is 0.6D. The volume of the storage tank has increased, so the fire separation distance should increase as well; why has it decreased here? Solve?
Its diameter has increased, so the calculated values will definitely be larger as well. For example, 1000 has a diameter of 12, and 2000 has a diameter of 16; calculate it. It’s just like calculating funds: the more money there is, the lower the percentage given.
The larger the storage tank, the greater its diameter; if the calculation always uses 0.75, it will lead to waste of land
That makes sense; the actual distance increases.
As the storage tank increases in size, the actual fire separation distance also increases. Because the diameter or height must have increased.
