A safer solvent wash tank would have an automatic closing lid actuated by a fusible link.
Would a Stoddard solvent with a flash point over 100*F be acceptable? Art Tiroly ATCO Fire Protection/Tiroly 24400 Highland Rd CLE 44143 216-621-8899 216-570-7030 cell From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:sprinklerforum-boun...@lists.firesprinkler.org] On Behalf Of James Crawford Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2017 3:23 PM To: sprinklerforum@lists.firesprinkler.org Subject: Dip tanks I have been looking through NFPA #34 (2007) to find out if there is a minimum or maximum size for a dip tank and the requirements for them We have a client with a small dip tank for cleaning parts prior to powder coating, the tank holds less than 2 gallons of flammable liquid and has a surface area of less than 2 ft². The tank is metal and has a lid when not in use. The tank is in a ventilated area, inside a paint booth. This is a small operation and the bake oven is also in the paint booth, the concern I see is the electrical associated with the bake ovens and the proximity to the dip tank. All the dipping is manual. The sequence is dipping, drying, power coating then baking, like I said small operation Is there anything I am missing. Thank you James Crawford Phaser Fire Protection Ltd.
