Transcript of Apendice A

  • The following comments should be applied to the Tables contained in Appen-dix A.

    NA = Not applicable. No measurable distance is appropriate.

    NM = No minimum spacing requirement has been established for rea-sons of fire protection. Use engineering judgment for spacing andprovide access for fire fighting and maintenance.

    S = Spacing is based on security needs and not on fire, explosion, ortoxic concerns.

    CAUTION:1. Tables A through E include typical spacing values. Explanatory text

    is included in Chapters 5 and 6.

    2. The typical spacing distances cited in Tables A through E are basedon potential fire consequences (explosions and toxic concerns mayrequire greater spacing). Variations in spacing may be warrantedbased on site-specific hazards and risks. Distances may be reducedor increased based on risk analysis or when additional layers of pro-tection are implemented (such as: fire protection or emergency shut-down systems).

    3. These tables are not applicable to enclosed process units.

    Miscellaneous typical spacing values are included in Table E.

    NOTES:1. Distances are measured horizontally.

    2. Typical horizontal distances between buildings, process equipment,and property lines are shown and apply to the closest edge to closestedge dimensions.

    3. Where unusual conditions require closer spacing, appropriate riskreduction measures should be considered.
