PE Problem #7

6/12/2019

A new Type II (000) construction facility without exposure protection is being designed to be built on an industrial campus. If Class II liquids are planned to be handled and dispensed regularly within the facility, what minimum distance from an adjacent, build-able property must the building allow?
a. 5 feet
b. 10 feet
c. 25 feet
d. 50 feet

Note: Sorry, I did it again with a daily question. NFPA 30 is no longer a required reference and this problem would not be eligible to be used for the 2019 exam.

d. 50ft

NFPA 30: 2015, Table 17.6.1 for Class II liquid handling & operations: 25ft
doubled per note/17.6.3 since there are not protections for exposures.

Same result if referencing outside storage separation.

If this question was asking about storage in an unsprinklered building, I believe the separation would be much greater.. NFPA 30:2015, Section 13.3.

d. 50 feet; NFPA 30 (2018) Table 17.6.1, 25', doubled per note under table for facility without exposure protection.

Is there another reference in FPH (not in Section 7 Ch 2) or HFPE since NFPA 30 is not a reference?
