Fire Resistant Tank [1]

A storage tank [2] designed and constructed to provide fire resistive protection, in accordance with criteria in a recognized fire code [3].

Generally, codes require that when exposed to fire, during a period of not less than 2 hours such a tank must prevent the release of liquid, failure of the tank itself, failure of the tank’s supporting structure, and impairment of the venting system.
