National Fire Protection Association NFPA

The Fire Tests for Flame Resistant Textiles and Films, issued by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ia 1989, is the method most used by iadustrial fire-retardant finishers (ca 1993) (50). It has been approved by the American National Standards Institute. [Pg.487]

Methanol does not pose an undue toxicity hazard if handled in weU-ventilated areas, and is rated as a slight health hazard by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The TLV is 200 ppm with a STEL of 250 ppm, and the limit which is immediately dangerous to Hfe and health is 25,000 ppm. Accidental ingestion is immediately treated by inducing vomiting, followed by adrninistration of sodium bicarbonate. Rinsing with water is effective in treating external exposure. [Pg.280]

Combustible Eiquid A term used to classify certain liquids that will burn on the basis of flash points. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) defines a combustible liquid as having a flash point of 100°F (37.8°C) or higher. See also, Flammable Liquid. Class II liquids have flash points at or above 100°F, but below 140°F. Class III liquids are subdivided into two subclasses. [Pg.159]

Firewater Systems. These systems are best laid out by contractors or other specialists. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) rules will spell out required coverage, typical pump size, and other standard items. A small jockey pump will maintain system pressure at all times. [Pg.228]

Let s take the example of benzene, which at 12,000 ppm, is 100% LEL. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states that equipment can operate, without LEL monitors or controls, if the LEL is less than 25% LEL. For benzene then, 25% LEL is equal to 3,000 ppm. This upper boundary becomes a dictating factor in the selection and design of the oxidation equipment. If the concentration is higher than 25% LEL, the NFPA requirements state that an LEL monitor is required. Using an LEL monitor, NFPA guidelines allow operation up to 50% LEL (a 2 1 safety factor). Thus, 100% LEL is explosive if the stream is at 25%, a factor safety of four exists. [Pg.478]

Review dikes, impoundments and spacing for tanks storing flammable materials. A sump inside a dike facilitates the collection of small spills. Sump drains or pumps can direct material to a safe and environmentally acceptable place. See the latest issue of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30. [Pg.73]

The fact that the main direct cause of death in fires has always been the toxicity of combustion products was already discussed in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Quarterly in 1933 [34]. Smoke contains mainly two types of toxic gases asphyxiants and irritants, but the individual toxic gas associated with the largest fire hazard is carbon monoxide (CO). [Pg.470]

In 1967, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) issued NFPA 493-1967 which defined specific tests and construction techniques to be employed. Today, the current standard is NFPA 493-1978. [Pg.256]
