Insist On SwRI 95-03 When Specifying A Fire-Rated Tank

Around the world, new codes of practice and legislation often require all fire tanks to be either SwRI 95-03 or UL2084 (2 hour) approved; the SuperVault is both. It is the only 4-hour fireproof petrol tank certified for above ground petrol tanks, according to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) (Texas, USA) 95-03 multi-hazard test. During this  test, despite being subjected to fore, hose steam, projectiles and heavy-vehicle impact; the integrity of the SuperVault’s primary tank remained intact. This tank is also a popular choice for solvents, which often has the same “flashpoint” as petrol.

*IMPORTANT NOTE* Insist on SwRI 95-03 as it is the only fire-rated tank in the world that can be repaired and re-used after the fire or event has occurred. The 95-03, 4-hour fire test involves an additional 2-hour fire exposure test using the same, fully assembled test tank for all tests.

In the event of a fire, the integrity of any tank certified to UL-2085 (2 hour) or SwRI 95-03 (4 hour) will be deemed to have been compromised and will not be compliant after the event.
