For storing hazardous chemicals in large storage tanks, the minimum safe distance between the two tanks should range between ______________________ times the tank diameter?
Correct answer: A. 1 to 1.5
- A. 1 to 1.5
- B. 2.5 to 3.5
- C. 4 to 5
- D. 6 to 8
Explanation
Tank spacing is commonly expressed relative to tank diameter, and a minimum separation of about one to one and a half diameters is used for large hazardous-chemical tanks. This provides access and limits escalation while avoiding unnecessarily large spacing.
