Air Foam Systems for Storage Tanks

This Standard defines the minimum mandatory requirements for the design and installation of fixed air foam fire protection systems for atmospheric storage tanks. Section 8 also includes requirements for fixed air foam systems that may be used in a variety of facilities such as offshore platforms and loading racks. Requirements for each type of atmospheric storage tank are summarized in Table 1 of SAES-B-019. The requirements for spacing and diking of onshore atmospheric tanks are covered in SAESB-
