Firstly, compressed air foam system (CAFS) was briefly introduced. The difference of foams produced from low expansion extinguishing and CAFS were compared according to macro parameters micro parameters. Secondly, thickness tank shell, bottom, intensity water supply solution determined codes. Then oil for model test designed with the help Auto Computer Aided Design (Auto CAD) completed using Q345R steel plates. Finally, small-scale tests carried out examine effect onto fire. Three conclusions as follows. codes could endure flame radiation. be applied in torch-like when fuel level high ball-like lower explained theory middle layer effect.
