1.0.1 The code is developed to implement related national guidelines and policies,impose general technical requirements,save energy and resources and protect the environment during the engineering design of underground water-sealed oil storages in rock caverns,with the aim of allowing them to be safe,functional,technically advanced,and economically feasible.
1.0.2 The code is applicable to engineering designs of underground water-sealed cavern storages in rock caverns used to store crude oil,gasoline,or diesel for future use.
The code is not applicable to engineering designs of intra-man-made cavern wall-away(or-contacting)steel tanks,natural cavern oil depots,and salt cavern oil depots.
1.0.3 In addition to this Code,engineering designs of underground water-sealed oil storages in rock caverns shall also comply with codes and standards.
