Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage tanks are often provided with water sprays to protect
them in the event of a fire. In 1996 a project (Contract No. 3383/R75.009) was undertaken to
study, at full-scale, the performance of a water spray system on an empty 13 tonne LPG vessel
under conditions of jet fire impingement from a nearby release of liquid propane. The results,
reported in HSE report CRR 137/1997, showed that a typical water deluge system found on an
LPG storage vessel cannot be relied upon to maintain a water film over the whole vessel
surface in an impinging propane jet fire scenario.
The objective of the work described in this report (Contract No. 3985/R75.041) was to extend
the understanding to include butane jet fires. These were known to have somewhat different
characteristics and may result in different conclusions to those drawn from the earlier work
with propane.
A total of twenty butane tests are reported and these provide a direct comparison with the
propane study. The results were in fact similar in that the water deluge did not always prevent
dry patches appearing along the top of the vessel, although these were generally smaller than
with the propane jet fires. The deluge also had a similar significant effect on the fire itself,
reducing the luminosity and smoke, and resulting in a lower rate of wall temperature rise at the
dry patches, when compared with the un-deluged case. One of the tests was repeated and run
for a longer duration, 10 minutes, at which time the maximum temperature of the small dry
patch had stabilised at 360oC. In the final test this was repeated again for more than twice this
time, but with one of the spray nozzles blocked to produce a larger dry patch. The maximum
temperature of this larger patch stabilised at 580oC. At this temperature the steel wall will be
severely weakened but may not necessarily fail.
The results of this study will be used by the HSE in assessing the risk of accidental fires on
LPG installations leading to BLEVE incidents.

1. INTRODUCTION

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage tanks are often provided with water sprays, referred to
as water deluge, to protect them in the event of a fire. This protection has been shown to be
effective in a pool fire(1) but uncertainties remained regarding the degree of protection afforded
in a jet fire resulting from a liquid or two-phase release of LPG. The essential difference
between a pool fire and a jet fire is that the latter can result in higher velocities and in the
extreme case of a high-pressure natural gas jet fire water deluge has been shown to be totally
ineffective(2).
In 1996 a project (Contract No. 3383/R75.009) was undertaken to study, at full-scale, the
performance of a water spray system on an empty 13 tonne LPG vessel under conditions of jet
fire impingement from a nearby release of liquid propane. The results, reported in HSE report
CRR 137/1997(3), showed that a typical water deluge system found on an LPG storage vessel
cannot be relied upon to maintain a water film over the whole vessel surface in an impinging
propane jet fire scenario. The results of this study have been used by the HSE in assessing the
risk of accidental fires on LPG installations leading to BLEVE incidents, but they are specific
to propane fires only.
The objective of the work described in this report was to extend the understanding to include
butane jet fires, using the same equipment and a similar experimental plan to provide a direct
comparison with the propane study. Butane jet fires were known to have somewhat different
characteristics and it was felt that this may result in different conclusions to those drawn from
the earlier work with propane.
Section 2. of this report describes the experimental plan, developed in consultation with the
HSE sponsor, and Section 3. describes the equipment used. Selected results are presented and
discussed in Section 4. The complete sets of results for each of the twenty valid tests are
contained in Appendices A-T. Section 5. presents the conclusions drawn from the work,
however it should be noted that the data gathered has only been analysed to the extent that it
could be accurately presented. A more detailed analysis may reveal additional features.

2. EXPERIMENTAL PLAN

The plan was to repeat the earlier propane study using butane to provide a direct comparison.
The same hole sizes and distances, based on credible accident scenarios considered in the HSE
model ALIBI (Assessment of LPG Installations leading to Bleve Incidents)(4), were used.
The butane jet fires, from 12.5, 25 and 50 mm holes, were to impinge on a target vessel (an
empty 13 tonne LPG tank) from distances of 1, 3 and 5 m. The parametric study was based
on this 3x3 test matrix and each set of conditions were to be carried out both with the water
deluge on before the fire, and with a 30 s delay in initiating the deluge. It was decided that the
short duration tests without any water deluge, carried out in the propane study, would not be
repeated as sufficient data on heat transfer without water could be obtained during the first 30 s
of the delayed deluged tests.

Our aim was to release butane under conditions closely similar to those that would occur if a
pipe were punctured or severed on an LPG installation. The 12.5 and 25 mm holes were to be
sharp-edged orifice plates on the end of a 50 mm pipe to achieve liquid releases of
approximately 1 and 4 kg/s, respectively. The 50 mm release would be full-bore from the pipe,
resulting in a liquid release of approximately 9 kg/s.
The tests were to be of longer duration than typically used in the earlier propane study, and if
time permitted one test would be repeated and run for at least 10 minutes.

3. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

The equipment used was the same as in the earlier propane tests, but with some modifications
to more precisely control the discharge conditions, and more thermocouples on the target vessel
to achieve better spatial resolution.
3.1 BUTANE SUPPLY AND DISCHARGE SYSTEM
A schematic diagram of the butane supply, control and measurement system is shown in
Figure 1. The LPG storage tank, containing commercial grade butane, was elevated to achieve
a positive liquid head at the discharge orifice. The objective was to maintain the liquid butane
at just above its vapour pressure at the point of discharge and to achieve this in a controlled
manner it was necessary to over-pressure the storage with nitrogen. During the tests, the
nitrogen pressure was maintained using an Alfa Laval ECA-40 controller and Valtek pressure
control valve. Using this arrangement some nitrogen becomes dissolved in the butane. Samples
were taken after two of the tests and analysed, the results are given in Section 4.
The butane was discharge from the tank through three independent valves into a common
50 mm i.d. pipe into an existing supply line. This line was constructed from 149 mm i.d.
stainless steel pipe and extended for about 25 metres between the storage tank and the
discharge platform. Several manual and remotely operated valves were located in the line,
together with thermal pressure relief valves. At the discharge platform the line reduced to
50 mm i.d. stainless steel and terminated in the final, remotely operated, valve used to initiate
the release. Spool pieces, also 50 mm internal diameter, were used beyond the final valve to
achieve the three discharge distances of 1, 3 and 5 metres. Details of the discharge distances
are shown in Figure 2. The 12.5, 25.0 mm releases were through sharp-edged orifice plates and
the 50 mm release was full-bore.
3.2 BUTANE FLOW MEASUREMENT
The mass flow rate of the butane was measured using a Coriolis-force mass flow meter,
mounted in the butane delivery line, approximately 8 m upstream of the final valve. This flow
meter comprised a Micro Motion flow sensor and a mass flow transmitter. The sensor was
calibrated by the manufacturer and is accurate to within 0.5% of the mass flow rate. The mass
flow transmitter relayed the output of the flow sensor to the data logging system, described in
Section 3.7. The butane mass flow rate achieved was not controlled but governed by the
diameter of the release orifice and the exit conditions.

3.3 BUTANE PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES


The static pressure and temperature of the butane was measured at a number of locations.
Pressure and temperature at the exit of the storage tank, together with pressure and temperature
close to the release point.
The storage tank liquid head pressure was measured using an Ellison Sensors Intl Ltd.
PR3100 pressure transmitter located in the liquid discharge from the tank. The range of this
instrument was 0-20 bar, with a typical accuracy of 1.0% full scale, and a calibration was
performed prior to installation. This instrument also served the Alfa Laval ECA-40 controller
to maintain the nitrogen pressure blanket on the storage tank.
A further Ellison Sensors Intl Ltd. PR3100 pressure transmitter, with a measuring range of 06 bar, with a typical accuracy of 1.0% full scale, was used to measure the pressure at the exit
measurement position, 0.2 m upstream of the release point. The transmitter was calibrated on
site, before and after the test series, using a Druck DPI 600 series digital pressure calibrator.
The butane temperature was measured in the supply line and at the exit measurement position,
using stainless steel sheathed mineral insulated type T thermocouples protruding inside the
pipe. The thermocouple has an accuracy of 0.5C, and was connected via suitable
compensating cable to the data logger.
Data from the pressure transducers and temperature transmitters were recorded on the logging
system described in Section 3.7 and converted to engineering units by applying the relevant
calibration coefficients for each instrument.
3.4 TARGET VESSEL AND TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
The target vessel was a redundant 13 tonne LPG storage bullet which had been modified for
these experiments. The cylindrical shell was 2.17 m dia. x 7.5 m long, and fitted with
torispherical end caps. The total surface area of the vessel was estimated to be 61.3 m2 (based
on the simplifying assumption of spherically dished end caps), 51.15 m2 over the developed
cylindrical surface. To measure the temperature of the 12 mm thick wall of the shell, 85
thermocouples were attached to the internal surface. These comprised the original locations, 1
to 56 for tests prior to this series plus an extra 29 thermocouples, 57 to 85. These were placed
in an area that could be subjected to hot spots and could therefore provide increased
resolution of the surface temperatures. The locations of these thermocouples are indicated and
defined in Figures 3 to 5.
At all locations the thermocouples were attached directly to the steel by capacitance discharge
welder. The welder, type TAU, was supplied by Cooperheat Ltd. Solid conductor, 0.7 mm
dia., type 'K' thermocouple wire supplied by Omega was used. Each leg of the thermocouple
was welded separately to the steel, approximately 5 mm apart. Thus the steel becomes part of
the thermocouple junction and the thermocouple accurately and unambiguously measures the
steel temperature. The thermocouple cable was extended out of and beyond the vessel into a
junction box. In this box type 'K' connector blocks were used to transfer the thermocouple
output signals into multicored type 'V' compensating cables and hence to the data collection
point.

within the limits of -40C to +1200C. Although suitable for lower temperatures, these
thermocouples may not meet the tolerance value below -40C.

3.5 DELUGE WATER SUPPLY AND DELIVERY SYSTEM


The deluge system was designed by Wormald Fire Systems to achieve a minimum application
rate of 10.2 litres/min./m2 over the whole exposed surface of the vessel, in accordance with
NFPA 15(5). This design was originally used in an investigation of the efficacy of water deluge
systems used on offshore facilities (2) but it is identical to that commonly used to protect LPG
storage bullets, the design application rate being just above the minimum of 9.8 litres/min./m2
specified in HSG 34(6).
Twenty four spray nozzles were used in sets of four around the vessel at an axial spacing of
1475 mm, Figure 6. This Wormald design called for a total water flow rate into the system of
1064 litres/min. delivered at 2.4 barg, and this was the nominal flow rate used in all of the
tests. The vessel is 2.17 m dia. thus each set of four nozzles is spraying on an area of 10.06 m2.
It is interesting to note that this results in an actual application rate of 17.6 litres/min./m2 on
the cylindrical shell of the vessel, some 73% excess over the design value. This large excess is
apparently an inevitable consequence of incremental spray nozzle sizes, the minimum spacing

required to ensure complete coverage and the hydraulic gradient required to achieve a minimum
pressure of 1.4 barg at the most hydraulically remote nozzle, in this particular case.

The spray nozzles were Wormald type MV21-110, manufactured from leaded-gunmetal with
brass diffuser plates.
Figure 7, shows a photograph of the deluge operating and it can be seen that a water film was
obtained over the whole surface of the vessel.

Figure 7
The target vessel with deluge nozzles operating
The layout of the water supply system is included in Figure 1. Water for the deluge was stored
in two large tanks in which the levels were balanced. A single outlet supplied water to a skid
mounted water pump driven by a diesel engine. The speed of the pump could be varied

manually. Water was discharged into a 150 mm nominal bore pipe leading to the deluge
system. Remotely operated valves enabled the water to be recirculated to the storage tanks.
This arrangement permitted the pump engine to be brought up to operating temperature under
working conditions and also enabled water at the required rate to flow into the deluge system at
the desired instant during delayed deluge experiments.
Deluge water pressure was measured with a Druck series PTX500 static pressure transducer.
This instrument operated within the range of 0 to 10 barg with a typical accuracy of +/-1.0% of
full scale and was calibrated on site using a Druck TPI 600 series digital pressure calibrator.
The water flow rate was measured using a Krohne IFM1080 flow meter uprated to operate
between 0 and 3000 litres/min. This instrument was supplied with a calibration produced by
the Dutch Office of Measures and Weights. An uncertainty of +/-1.0% is quoted by the
supplier.
3.6 AMBIENT WEATHER MONITORING
Equipment was deployed to monitor the ambient weather conditions in the vicinity of the test
facility. The wind speed was monitored using four Vector Instruments A100 cup type
anemometers, located at heights of 1.2, 2.9, 6.0 and 6.4 m above the discharge axis on weather
mast located to the west of the facility. The wind conditions were also measured using a Gill
Instruments, Solent logging ultrasonic anemometer, located at a height of 10.0 m above the
ground, equating to 8.2 m above the discharge axis. This instrument provided horizontal and
vertical wind speed components together with the wind direction.
The cup type anemometers can measure wind speed in the range 0 to 25 m/s and the accuracy
is quoted by the manufactures as 1%. The ultrasonic anemometer is capable of measuring
horizontal wind speeds in the range 0 to 60 m/s. The wind speed accuracy is 2.5% between 0
and 30 m/s. The accuracy of the vertical component is within 5% of the horizontal
component. Wind direction is measured in meteorological format i.e. as the direction the wind
is coming from, measured clockwise from north, with an accuracy of 2% for wind speeds
between 0 and 30 m/s.
The ambient temperature and relative humidity were measured using a Vaisala HMD 30YB
transmitter. This instrument was mounted on the control cabin roof. The atmospheric pressure
was also monitored using a Vaisala PTA427 transmitter. The accuracy of the measurements,
quoted by the manufacturers, are 0.2C for the temperature, 2% for the relative humidity
between 0 and 90% and 3% between 90 and 100%, and 0.2 mbar for the atmospheric
pressure.
Data from all the ambient weather monitoring equipment was recorded on the logging system
described in Section 3.7 and converted to engineering units applying the relevant calibration
coefficients for each instrument.
3.7 DATA LOGGING
Data from all instruments were recorded using a PC based computer logging system. This
system is based on multiplexing of signals at remote locations using equipment manufactured
by Computer Instrumentation Limited. The concept of using this approach is based on limiting
the amount of cabling running between the computer and the instrumentation. Individual cables
from the instruments are fed into a multiplexer system located close to a group of instruments
from which only one signal cable is returned to the computer. This system also has the added
advantage that signals can be amplified by the multiplexer close to their source, thus avoiding
the transmission of small signal levels over long distances.

Each instrument channel was sampled at once per second for the duration of each test.
3.8 PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO
A video and photographic record was made of each test.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Tests DEL0401 to DEL0423


To complete the 3x3x2 test matrix (12.5, 25 and 50 mm holes, from distances of 1, 3 and 5 m,
with deluge on before the fire, and with a 30 s delay) a total of 23 tests were carried out to
achieve 18 valid tests. Tests DEL0401, DEL0406, DEL0407, DEL04014 and DEL04015 were
deemed invalid, due to sudden changes in the wind or failure to reach steady flow conditions,
and are not reported. Table 1 shows hole sizes, stand-off distances, and series test numbers for
the 18 valid tests, together with the time averaging period used in deriving the subsequent data
tables. Each test was run for at least 3 minutes and stopped when the vessel temperatures
appeared to have stabilised, or in one case just under 7 minutes was reached.

Table 2 shows the time averaged wind speeds and directions for each test. The averaged wind
speeds of between 3 and 10 m/s were slightly higher than those encountered in the earlier
propane tests, 1.6-7.8 m/s. A south westerly co-flowing wind would have ensured that the jet
fire was central on the target vessel, however, a cross wind generally from the quadrant
between west and north was deemed acceptable.

Table 3 shows the butane discharge conditions for each test. The nitrogen used to over-pressure
the butane storage was just sufficient to achieve fully liquid releases. The exit temperature,
measured just upstream of the hole, remained close to ambient, confirming that no flashing had
occurred at that point and that fully liquid releases had been achieved.

Liquid butane samples were taken from the storage tank part way through use of the first and
second deliveries of commercial butane. The results are shown in Table 4. Both samples
contained some propane, which is not uncommon in commercial butane. As expected a small
amount of the nitrogen used to over-pressure the storage had dissolved in the butane

The full results from each of the 18 tests are contained in Appendices A to R. Each appendix
contains:
a summary of the test conditions
Figure x1 showing the fuel conditions during the test
Figure x2 showing the water deluge conditions during the test
Figures x3-x17, for each ring of thermocouples, showing the target vessel temperatures
during the test
Figures x18 and x19, development of the vessel surface with temperature contours, at 30 s
after ignition on the delayed deluge tests only, and for all at the end of the test .

Table 5 summarises the results, showing the different vessel wall temperature regimes found in
each test. The 120oC criterion, also used in the earlier propane study, was chosen based on the
work of Lev and Strachan(7) which showed that this temperature may be taken as "indicative of
having achieved critical conditions for failure of the water film".
Table 5 shows that when starting with the deluge on, only the larger releases result in dry
patches. The largest dry patch being in test DEL0422 (50 mm hole, 5 m distance) where 4
thermocouples exceeded 120oC, also see Appendix Q, Figure Q18.
With the deluge delayed by 30 seconds dry patches are more readily formed but for the smallest
hole size these do not persist. Again the largest dry patch occurred with the largest hole and the
greatest distance, test DEL0423, also see Appendix R, Figure R19.

Figure 8 shows an example of some target vessel wall temperatures during test DEL0409
(50 mm hole, 1 m distance, delayed deluge). The thermocouple responses plotted were chosen
to illustrate the different types of behaviour found in all of the tests. The last two digits of the
identifier give the thermocouple location, see Figure 5 in Section 3.4, thus TK-40925 is
thermocouple 25 located at the top of the vessel in the centre.

The water deluge was initiated 30 seconds after ignition and the flow fully established by
50 seconds. At some thermocouples locations, e.g. 63 and 64, a water film was quickly
established and the wall temperature never exceeded the 120oC criterion. At location 66 a water
film was established at 50 seconds even though the wall had initially exceeded 120oC. At
locations 69 and 25 it is clear that once the water flow is fully established the rate of
temperature rise is reduced. After 90 seconds a water film is established at location 69 and the
temperature drops 120oC. At location 25, the temperature continues to rise at the reduced rate.
This reduced rate of temperature rise of dry patches was also seen in the earlier propane study
and results from the combustion process being affected by the water sprays. Less soot is
formed in the flame resulting in less luminosity and a reduction in the heat transfer by radiation
to the vessel surface. This is most clearly illustrated by reference to Figures 9 and 10. These
photographs were taken during test DEL0413, before and after establishment of the deluge.

Figure 9
Test DEL0413 before deluge

Figure 10
Test DEL0413 with deluge

13

In all of the tests where this behaviour was observed (DEL0409, DEL0411, DEL0413 and
DEL0423) we have estimated the reduction in the rate of temperature rise at dry patches by
comparing the essentially linear temperature rise before the water comes on, with that
immediately after the deluge has become fully established. The results do not allow specific
reductions in rate of temperature rise or heat transfer to be associated with particular
conditions, but typically the reduction is a factor of between 2 and 5, similar to that found with
propane (between 1.5 and 5.8) (3).
Some releases from 1 m and 3 m resulted in liquid butane impinging on the target vessel with
local low temperatures on the vessel wall. Test DEL0409 is a good example, see Appendix F,
Figures F18 and F19. In some tests some liquid butane poured onto the ground after hitting the
vessel and produced a pool fire under the vessel.
4.2 TESTS DEL0424 AND DEL0425
Test DEL04024 was a repeat of test DEL0413 (25 mm hole, 3 m distance, delayed deluge) run
for 10 minutes to establish the equilibrium temperature reached by a small dry patch. Test
DEL04025 was a further repeat of this test, but with one nozzle blocked to induce a larger dry
patch, and run for more than 20 minutes to establish the equilibrium temperature reached by a
larger dry patch.
Table 6 shows hole sizes, stand-off distances, and series test numbers for these two tests,
together with the time averaging period used in deriving the subsequent data tables.

Figure 11
Dry spot wall temperatures during tests DEL0424 and DEL0425
The maximum temperature reached by the small dry spot (thermocouple location 17) in test
DEL0424 was 360oC after 10 minutes. See also Appendix S, Figure S19, for details of the dry
spot.
The maximum temperature reached by the large dry spot (thermocouple location 62) in test
DEL0425 was 580oC. It appears that thermocouple location 67 may be on the edge of the dry
patch as the temperature was falling during the second half of the test. The gap in the data
around 23 minutes was caused by the necessity to change disks in the data logging system. See
also Appendix T, Figure T19, for details of the dry spot. The blocked water spray nozzle was
the one above thermocouple location 24, see Figure 5 in Section 3.4.
At the maximum temperature of 580oC the steel wall will be severely weakened but may not
necessarily fail, resulting in a BLEVE if the vessel had contained LPG.

5. CONCLUSIONS

The following conclusions are based on an analysis of the data sufficient only to allow it to be
accurately reported. A more detailed analysis may reveal additional features.
1.

The results from the twenty tests reported show that a typical water deluge system
found on an LPG storage tank cannot be relied upon to maintain a water film over the
whole tank surface in an impinging butane jet fire scenario.

2.

The results are similar to those found in the earlier propane work, although any dry
patches were generally smaller with the butane jet fires. The deluge also had a similar
significant effect on the fire itself, reducing the luminosity and smoke, and resulting in
a lower rate of wall temperature rise at the dry patches, when compared with the undeluged case, typically by a factor between 2 and 5.

3.

The equilibrium temperature reached by a small dry patch was about 360oC after 10
minutes, in one repeated test, run until an equilibrium temperature had been reached.

4.

The equilibrium temperature reached by a larger dry patch, induced by blocking one of
the spray nozzles, was 580oC after about 20 minutes.

5.

Some releases resulted in liquid butane impinging on the target vessel with local low
temperatures on the vessel wall. In some tests some liquid butane poured onto the
ground after hitting the vessel and produced a pool fire under the vessel.
