How does AS1940 apply to a 30L flammable liquid cabinet?
AS1940 sets out how flammable and combustible liquids are stored and handled in Australia, including compliant cabinets and limits on how much may be kept in a work area. A rated 30L cabinet such as the Pratt 5516AS keeps solvents and fuels contained and segregated rather than sitting in the open.
AS1940 sets out how flammable and combustible liquids should be stored and handled, including the use of compliant cabinets and limits on how much may be kept in a work area. Using a rated cabinet helps you meet your dangerous-goods obligations, reduces fire and spill risk, and keeps incompatible or hazardous liquids contained and segregated rather than sitting in the open.
The safety features on the 5516AS
- Double steel walls slow heat transfer in a fire, buying time for evacuation and response.
- Self-closing, self-latching door means the cabinet is never accidentally left open.
- 150mm liquid-tight sump contains leaks and spills inside the cabinet.
- Flash-arrester vents allow controlled ventilation while resisting flame entry.
- External earth point lets you bond the cabinet to control static during decanting.
