With storage tanks or processing equipment exposed to fire or radiant heat, the cooling of any metal above tire liquid level inside the vessel is critical. Metal surfaces that have a constant film of water flowing over them will not reach a surface temperature above the boiling point of water. This temperature is well below that which would subject the metal to loss of integrity because of softening.
