Figure 1: STORAGE OF COMPRESSED GASES OUTDOORS
These distances do not apply where protective structures
having fire resistance rating of two (2) hours interrupt the
line-of-sight between un-insulated portions of the bulk
oxygen storage installation and the exposure. The protective
structures protect un-insulated oxygen storage containers or
supports, control equipment, and system piping (or parts
thereof) from external fire exposure. Liquid oxygen storage
containers are insulated. Such containers may provide line-
of-sight protection for un-insulated system components.
Interruption of the line-of-sight means that an “eye” on any
part of the un-insulated portion of the bulk oxygen storage
installation cannot “see” any part of the exposure.
