Key Requirements of the AS1940-2017 Standard for Flammable Storage Cabinets
The AS1940-2017 standard outlines the key requirements for the design, construction, and use of flammable storage cabinets. Adherence to the AS1940-2017 standard is essential for ensuring the safe storage and handling of flammable liquids, reducing the risk of fires, explosions, and other hazardous incidents. These cabinets are designed to contain and isolate flammable substances, preventing them from igniting or spreading in case of a fire.
The standard specifies that cabinets must be constructed with double-walled steel, with a minimum air gap of 40mm between the walls. This design helps to insulate the contents and slow down heat transfer during a fire. The AS1940-2017 standard also mandates that flammable storage cabinets have self-closing, close-fitting doors. These features ensure that the cabinet remains sealed in case of an emergency, containing any potential spills or vapors. Additionally, the cabinets must be clearly labeled with appropriate warning signs and symbols to indicate the presence of flammable materials.
Choosing the Right Size Flammable Storage Cabinet
When it comes to storing flammable materials, safety should be the top priority. The Australian Standard AS1940-2017 provides guidelines on the proper storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. A key aspect of this standard is the requirement for using an appropriately sized flammable storage cabinet.
The size of the flammable storage cabinet you choose will depend on the volume and type of flammable materials you need to store. AS1940-2017 specifies maximum capacities for different cabinet sizes, so it's important to select a cabinet that can accommodate your storage needs without exceeding the limits.
Factors to consider when choosing the right size flammable storage cabinet include:
- Total volume of flammable liquids
- Container sizes (e.g. 1L, 4L, 20L)
- Segregation of incompatible materials
- Allowances for future growth in storage requirements
