1. (a) Each pipe-type and bottle-type holder must be designed so as to prevent the accumulation of liquids in the holder, in connecting pipe, or in auxiliary equipment, that might cause corrosion or interfere with the safe operation of the holder.

2. (b) Each pipe-type or bottle-type holder must have minimum clearance from other holders in accordance with the following formula:

   C = (3D*P*F)/1000) in inches; (C = (3D*P*F*)/6,895) in millimeters

   in which:

   C = Minimum clearance between pipe containers or bottles in inches (millimeters). D = Outside diameter of pipe containers or bottles in inches (millimeters). P = Maximum allowable operating pressure, psi (kPa) gauge. F = Design factor as set forth in § 192.111 of this part.
