NFPA 69

NFPA 69

(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I am a new user to the forum. I am trying to find out if NFPA 69 requires Flame arresters in a tank farm with interconnected piping and manifolds,isolating each tank, we have flame arresters at the flare/VCU units and lots of tanks have been hard piped to transport the vapor to the Vapor combustion unit. Does anyone have experience with this

RE: NFPA 69

Under your condition flame arrestors are not required by NFPA 30.

(OP)
thank you but I am referring to NFPA 69 (Explosion prevention).

RE: NFPA 69

Your mixing two standards together. NFPA 30 takes precedence on storage tanks while NFPA 69 relates to deflagration protection.
