Important
updates and expanded coverage in the 2008 edition LP-Gas Code reduce
the risk of propane fires and explosions.
Document Scope: 1.1* Scope. This code
applies to the storage, handling, transportation, and use of LP-Gas.
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:
LP-Gas Code is the definitive source for LP-Gas safety
requirements. Work with the 2008 edition to make sure you have the
latest criteria for the safe design, construction, installation and
operation of all LP-Gas systems, as well as highway transportation
of LP-Gas.
The 2008 NFPA 58 includes a new section that
addresses small LP-Gas system operators and aids compliance with DOT
regs.
Currently covered by U.S. Department of
Transportation, regulations for pipeline systems of 10-100 users
served from one propane tank, such as a mobile home park, are now
part of the 2008 LP-Gas Code. Including these requirements will
assist propane marketers in complying with what is already federal
law, and the simplified Code language makes requirements easier to
understand and apply.
Other important
changes that advance safety include:
- New location requirements for patio heaters
- Revised table of small container
appurtenances
- New rule to require notification of
trackside transfer from rail cars
- New coverage of elevated pressure propane
systems (20 – 50 psi) used in cogeneration systems, microturbines,
metal cutting and similar industrial operations
- Clarified requirements for flexible
connectors used as part of piping systems
For engineers, inspectors, AHJs, facility
owners, and maintainers who want to pass inspections and make the
safety grade, the 2008 NFPA 58 is the clear choice!
