See Section 8.2. <br /> 1 ASME container approximate dimensions. <br /> The total water requirement for the facility is indicated in item 4, column G <br /> (water flow rate) and column H (total water volume or quantity) of Form 8.3. If <br /> multiple groups of containers are present in the facility, repeat the calculations <br /> in Form 8.3 for each group of containers. The total water requirement for the <br /> facility is the largest value for any single group of containers. <br /> A - 22 <br />
