During 1924 larger quantities of petroleum and petroleum products have been in sto rage in the United States than ever before. Considering the quantity of this oil in storage and its generally inflammable nature, the fire loss has been remarkably low.
Refined oils (which comprise by far the largest part of oil storage in or near cities and towns), when ignited, simply burn quietly until they are extinguished or burned dry; but crude petroleums, and occasionally refined fuel oils, are liable to boil over while burning. In order to make the storage of these latter products as safe as that of the refined oils, it is necessary to surround the container with so-called fire-walls.
The service to be rendered by these structures is a peculiar one from an hydraulic standpoint, as their primary functio;n is to withstand the single wave of oil thrown out by the “apos;boil-over”. In an effort to find the best possible design, the series of model tests here described was conducted, the outstanding result being a demonstration of the value of some form of flash-board or coping which will curl the advancing wave back on itself.
