15、ble or non-combustible liquids as indicated for each specialpurpose type, which are intends to address the specific designs, features, limitations, use factors andother unique characteristics of each type. The basic types of different special purpose vessels covered bythis Outline are:a) Liquid Chem

16、ical Containers and Tanks designed for stationary storage of combustible ornon-combustible liquids in non-residential applications, and are intended to be used inaccordance with NFPA 30, Chapter 9 (Storage of Liquids in Containers GeneralRequirements), Section 9.4 (Acceptable Containers and Tanks).

17、Liquid chemical tanks arelimited to the specific liquid(s) or family of similar liquids and application(s) to which they arerated under the evaluation;b) Cooking Oil Tanks designed for storage of cooking oils and fats typically found in restaurantor similar commercial food preparing applications hav

18、ing engineered transfer systems.
