A quick question on the use of steam heat coils in a #6 fuel oil tank...
600,000 gal tank, heated to 140 F by using 160# steam in a multi-tube coil at bottom of tank.
NFPA 31, section 1-15.3, limits steam pressure to 15 psig. Is this applicable to an outside storage tank system, or only to feeder tanks used to directly feed boilers or furnaces?
Thanks for any insight...
