label foam tank capacity on drawing. Exact tank
size (which may be larger) will be determined by
Contractor's hydraulic calculations.
**************************************************************************
Tank shall be designed for storage of AFFF concentrate at atmospheric
pressure, and shall be [horizontal] [or] [vertical] cylindrical, fiberglass
or polyethylene construction. Tank shall have the following: Drain valve
located at the lowest point in the tank, connections for concentrate supply
and return lines to the proportioners, top-mounted fill connections and
inspection hatch, and a pressure/vacuum relief vent. All openings and tank
connections shall be installed at the factory, no holes shall be made in
the tank shell in the field. Tank shall include all necessary supports for
free-standing installation. Provide a gage or unbreakable sight glass to
permit visual determination of level of tank contents, unless liquid level
is clearly visible through shell of tank. Size tank to provide sufficient
AFFF concentrate for the time specified when the system is discharging foam
solution at total maximum system flow. Also provide connected reserve
tank(s) of equal capacity. Permanently label each tank with its capacity,
type and percentage of concentrate, which system it serves, and whether it
is a main or reserve tank.
