NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

(OP)
Does NFPA 22 allow for tanks constructed in stainless steel?

RE: NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

No. Section 4.3.1 limits the materials of construction to carbon steel, FRP,wood or concrete.

RE: NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

(OP)
Thanks, I suspected that to be the case.  But can anyone address the reason for this exclusion of stanless steel in  this application?

RE: NFPA 22 - Stainless Tanks?

Probably because NFPA 22 allows prescriptive designs and these designs never contemplated the use of stainless steel. If you wanted to design a tank using stainless steel, it could be accepted by the authority having jursidiction provided you demonstrate the design complies with NFPA 22.
