Dear All,

 

Regarding the sizing or calculation of fire water system requirement i have a following queries ?

 

Q1. For tanks of base oil and additive storage having min flash point 206-182 degree Celcuis do we need to consider tank on fire case and subsequent cooling for similar adjacent tank ? Please refer  to codes and standard for better understanding of safety concerns arose with this type of liquids

 

Q2. For the pressure calculation what pressure must be maintained at the farthest hydrant from pump ?

 

Q3. Will there be a foam requirement for the same storage tanks ?

 

Looking forward for your kind replies

Hi Ashan ,

 

Better to ask your fire brigade about the requirement , each country has its own .
