ABSTRACT:
A fixed roof flammable liquid storage tank with a fire extinguishing device is disclosed. The tank has a hydraulically leakproof base, a conical slope ranging from 30.degree. to 60.degree. relative to the base, and a conical circular wall made of a plurality of metal plates joined together to form an upwardly tapered conical wall. The conical wall reaches up to a height where the top diameter reduces in the range of one-third to two-thirds of the base diameter of the tank to form a frustum. The tank is provided with a fire extinguishing device comprising one or more annular pipe rings connected by cross-member pipes with vertical discharge pipes attached at the junctions therebetween. The pipes extend above the highest level of the liquid in the tank and are configured to distribute either foam or dry chemical powder to extinguish a fire.
