What are the regulations for pipelines carrying flammable liquids crossing railway sidelines?
Thread Content
I recently encountered a problem in pipeline installation: the loading pipelines for diesel and gasoline trains need to cross the company’s dedicated railway line. I looked up the relevant standards, but it seems there isn’t a specific term for it. Dear sea friends, are there any regulations regarding the underground installation of pipelines for flammable liquids? Or are there relevant regulations regarding structures spanning above the railway? I hope those who are familiar with this can give some advice; thank you! !
I was wondering if it would be possible to refer to GB50316
Just execute Chapter 8 of 50316
It is recommended that you follow the provisions of 7.1.2 in the \"GB 50160-2008 Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\". For your reference, 7.1.2 The clear height of pipelines and their trusses above the railway lines within the plant should not be less than 5.5 m ； The clear height above the roads within the factory should not be less than 5m. Valves and pipe fittings prone to leakage should not be installed on pipelines for combustible gases, liquefied hydrocarbons, and flammable liquids that cross railways or roads.
Thank you; I found the part I needed in the \"Code for Design of Industrial Metal Piping\" and have uploaded it for everyone’s reference
The final answer can be found in the \"Code for Design of Oil Depots\" (GB50074-2014); sections 9.2.9 and 9.2.10 specify various detailed requirements regarding the passage of pipelines outside the depot as well as projects that involve crossing over such pipelines. The relevant specifications are now uploaded for those who need them to download and use as a reference! @
