This course will explore the available protection criteria provided in NFPA 30 and NFPA 30B for flammable/combustible liquids and aerosols as well as the Factory Mutual Data Sheets 7-29 and 7-31. Participants will learn about the full range of variables that must be considered for fire suppression. For flammable/combustible liquids, this includes liquid flash and boiling point, miscibility with water, container type, container size, storage method, storage and roof deck height, use of foam, etc. For aerosols, this includes aerosol level (heat of combustion of contents), container type, container size, packaging, storage method, storage and deck height, etc.
Learning Objectives:
•Understand the specific definitions of Class IA, IB, II, IIIA, and IIIB liquids
•Recognize the hazards associated with container types and packaging for flammable/combustible liquids and for aerosols related to fire sprinkler design
•Select appropriate design criteria for flammable/combustible liquids and for aerosols based on specific storage conditions
•Understand the specific definitions for Level 1, 2 and 3 Aerosols
