Is a framed structure with an open top on all sides considered a factory building? ? What is the basis? ?
It does not qualify; only when it is enclosed on all sides can it be called a factory building. Please refer to the construction codes and petrochemical regulations.
The petrochemical regulations mention four-week open-type factories; please provide the relevant provisions.
Actually, this is a very interesting and tricky question. I thought you understood what I meant, but after reading your other posts, it seems like you’re still at a beginner level. So I have a question for you: since you know the definition of a factory building in the petrochemical regulations, what’s the point of asking this question?
I’d like to confirm under what circumstances something counts as a factory building and under what circumstances it doesn’t ? How to avoid it? ? The ceiling on a storage tank surely doesn’t count as a factory building, right? ?
Sir, what’s evil about this question? Please indicate.
The definition of a plant facility is provided in the petrochemical regulations; construction regulations do not mention it, stating instead that the more stringent set of rules should be followed. Therefore, if you use the definition of a plant facility as given in the petrochemical regulations, then the construction regulations become irrelevant. However, many chemical plants were originally designed in accordance with construction regulations, and if they are to comply with petrochemical regulations, their equipment and tank areas will likely need to be moved by dozens of meters. The question is, is this even possible? So unless you are a real petrochemical company, it’s best to stay away from petrochemical regulations.
