SuperVault MH - Construction
- Entire tank assembly is Tested and Listed
- The SuperVault MH has been specially engineered to provide an economical method of aboveground fuel storage while providing a high degree of safety against frte exposure and a high degree of environmental protection. The SuperVault MH consists of a fuel container (all steel construction) surrounded by insulation, protected and contained by another steel tank.
- Available in two styles:
SuperVault MH Cylindrical with sizes from 250 gallons to 20,000 gallons
SuperVault MH Rectangular with sizes from 250 gallons to 2,000 gallons - Insulation: 6" of lightweight insulating concrete
SuperVault MH - Approvals
- Southwest Research Institute Listed - Entire Tank Assembly Multi-Hazard Rated with a 4 HOUR FIRE
RATING
SwRI 95-01, SwRI 93-01, UL 2085 Protected, and UFC Standard A-II-F-l (formerly known as UFC Standard 79-7) including Interstitial Communication Test - C.A.RB Certified for Vapor Recovery Systems
- Fire Marshal approvals obtained per installation
SuperVault MH - Compliance
- Complies with requirements of 1994 Uniform Fire Code for aboveground storage tanks, Appendix II-F for fuel dispensing stations and Standard A-II-F-1 (formerly known as UFC Standard 79-7)
- Complies with the requirements of NFPA 30 for aboveground storage tanks
- Complies with U.S. EPA requirements for aboveground fuel storage tanks
SuperVault MH - Testing
Southwest Research Institute Listing is based on the following tests performed on the
SuperVault MH:
- Fire Test
4 hours at 2000°F
RESULT: The SuperVault MH withstands high intensity fire
exposure without damage to the tank.
Average temperature rise 165°F after 4 hours
- Hose Stream Resistance 5 minutes, 45 psi stream through a l-1/8" fire nozzle after
fire exposure
RESULT: The SuperVault MH withstands hose stream impingement
without damage to the tank - Bullet Resistance
5 rounds, 150-grain M-2 ball ammunition, 0.30 caliber, 2700 feet/sec
RESULT: The SuperVault MH withstands five rounds without
penetration of the primary tank - Impact Resistance
12,000 pounds applied over 1 square foot traveling at 10 mph
RESULT: The SuperVault MH withstands kinetic impact without
collapse or penetration of the tank - Leakage Test
After successfully completing all of the tests listed above, a leak test
was performed by pressurizing the tank to 5 psig.
RESULT: The SuperVault MH was leak tight. This proves
that the
SuperVault MH can safely withstand exposure to multiple
hazards.
- Additional Fire Test
After all the above tests were completed on a fully assembled test
tank, the same tank was exposed to a second two hour 2,000°
F fire
test.
RESULT: The SuperVault MH withstood the second high intensity
fire exposure without damage to the tank.
