Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code Handbook, 2004 Edition
|
The only Code for propane adopted
in all 50 states and widely referenced around the globe, NFPA
58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code is the most trusted
source for safety requirements concerning highway
transportation of LP-Gas and the design, construction,
installation, and operation of all LP-Gas systems.
Improved safeguards in
the 2004 edition reduce the risk of accidents and fires:
- Security measures required
for bulk sites and industrial plants minimize unauthorized
entry and tampering
- Added criteria for hose
inspection helps identify signs of damage that would
probably lead to leaks.
- Revised OPD valve
requirements clarify the exemption concerning industrial
truck and industrial welding and cutting cylinders
- A safety provision for
vehicle propane fuel tanks requires an automatic valve
that's open only when the vehicle key is in the
"on" position
User-friendly format
and organization save time and streamline information access:
- Added rules for propane
cylinder re-qualification for cylinders refilled at
buildings are now included in the Code, so there's no need
to reference DOT specifications.
- New table of allowable
quantities of LP-Gas in cylinders located in building
occupancies.
- Clarified requirements for
container appurtenance safety valves
- Text dealing with multiple
topics is arranged in sections so you can find facts fast
Major changes in the new 2004 NFPA 58 raise the
standard for LP-Gas safety to a whole new level!
