Product Details :

Regarded as law throughout the U.S. and enforceable under OSHA, NFPA 30 is the industry's most comprehensive source for safety rules on flammable and combustible liquids. It provides:

• Information on proper siting of bulk storage tanks, including separations from property lines and tank-to-tank spacing.
• Design requirements for spill control, and normal and emergency relief vents.
• Fire protection requirements for container storage in storage cabinets, and inside rooms and warehouses--including spill containment and drainage and design criteria for fire protection systems.
• Fire safety requirements for proper handling and use of liquids.

• Requirements for protected tanks and tanks in vaults.
• Expanded fire protection design criteria for flammable liquids warehouses, including new criteria for rigid non-metallic intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
• A new section on fire protection for recirculating fluid heat transfer systems.
• Consolidated requirements dealing with electrical systems and electrical equipment.

It's invaluable for design engineers, enforcing officials, fire inspectors, insurers, and everyone who deals with flammable and combustible liquids! 116 pp.
