– Follow spacing and obstruction rules (Section 6). Use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for complex geometries as suggested in Annex B.
– Tank size must hold 60 minutes of flow unless a municipal hydrant system provides backup (Section 9). api rp 2030pdf
– Determine vessel diameter, product, pressure, and potential fire scenario (jet fire vs. pool fire). – Follow spacing and obstruction rules (Section 6)
– The standard refers to NFPA 15 for hydraulic calculations but mandates a minimum residual pressure of 50 psi (3.4 bar) at the farthest nozzle. api rp 2030pdf
