Gas Bottle Basket Offshore Lifting Standards

Gas Bottle Basket Offshore Lifting Standards

Gas Bottle Basket Offshore Lifting Standards

(OP)
I am looking for an API specification that deals with gas bottle rack baskets. Does anyone know of any particular specification?

I can use DNV / IMDG, but want to make sure there is no API spec that deals with these.

Thank you in advance.

RE: Gas Bottle Basket Offshore Lifting Standards

(OP)
I have found an OSHA / federal regulation 1926.305 (a) that states oxygen and fuel bottles shall be separated by a 5 foot tall barrier with a minimum fire protection of 1/2 hour.

Does anyone know of any guideline for determining this 1/2 hour fire barrier? Is this similar to a A30 fire wall?
