CAUTION:
1. Tables A through include typical spacing values. Explanatory text
is included in Chapters 5 and 6.
2. The typical spacing distances cited in Tables A through are based
on potential fire consequences (explosions and toxic concerns may
require greater spacing). Variations in spacing may be warranted
based on site-specific hazards and risks. Distances may be reduced
or increased based on risk analysis or when additional layers of protection are implemented (such as: fire protection or emergency shutdown systems).
3. These tables are not applicable to enclosed process units.
Miscellaneous typical spacing values are included in Table E.
NOTES:
1. Distances are measured horizontally.
2. Typical horizontal distances between buildings, process equipment,
and property lines are shown and apply to the closest edge to closest
edge dimensions.
3. Where unusual conditions require closer spacing, appropriate risk
reduction measures should be considered.
