This paper presents a study on protection of above ground fuel storage tanks against direct lightning strokes including the preliminary tests results on metallic sheets subjected to direct.
Lightning protection for above ground storage tanks.
According to a review of petroleum storage tank fires between 1951 and 2003 the number of tank fires reported in the worldwide media is in the range of 15 to 20 fires per year.
Above ground fuel storage tanks against direct lightning strokes including the preliminary tests results on metallic sheets subjected to direct current pulses simulating.
Protection against ignitions arising out of static.
In the past lightning protection systems lps involved sticking a metal rod into the ground.
Protection of the structure.
Nowadays storage tank lightning protection involves a three step process.
Lightning related petroleum storage tanks fires are more common than most people think.
Structural tank lightning protection employs the basic conventional system with modified air terminals which.
