NFPA
58 Liquefied Petroleum
Gas Code - 2011
Edition
NFPA 58 is
a must for anyone whose work involves LP-Gas--including installers,
equipment manufacturers, engineers, inspectors, AHJs, facility
owners, and insurers
Added protections in the 2011 NFPA
58 will prevent failures, leaks, tampering, fires, and
explosions.
Updated to reflect the latest safety
practices, field experience, and industry advances, the 2011
NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code provides today's
criteria for all aspects of the safe design, construction,
installation and operation of the full range of LP-Gas piping,
equipment, and venting, along with highway transportation of LP-Gas.
New rule for cathodic protection for
underground tanks guards against corrosion to preserve structural
integrity.
In most areas of the country, soil
characteristics are detrimental to the integrity of steel containers
buried underground. Corrosion creates pits or holes that left alone
or ignored can lead to leaks, releasing propane into the ground.
The 2011 NFPA 58 requires ASME
containers to have a cathodic protection system installed and
periodically monitored to be sure it continues to meet expected
performance standards. A new Supplement in the companion 2011
NFPA 58: LP-Gas Code Handbook further discusses this
important topic.
Other 2011 Code changes that make
installations more secure include:
- Prohibition against using former rail car
tanks as they do not meet standards of the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Code
- New and revised requirements to ensure
adequate training of people who install or handle propane tanks
and piping materials
- Revised definitions clarify terminology
for better understanding, application, and enforcement of rules.
Base your decisions on the latest
hazard knowledge and mitigation strategies and achieve a higher
level of propane safety.
Referenced in countries around the globe,
adopted in all 50 states, and part of the Department of
Transportation's U.S. Pipeline Safety Regulations, NFPA 58
is a must for anyone whose work involves LP-Gas--including
installers, equipment manufacturers, engineers, inspectors, AHJs,
facility owners, and insurers.
