This presentation will assess the design approaches covered in NFPA 30 and the challenges associated with protecting flammable liquids. It will also explore how these designs compare to the extra hazard design scheme in NFPA 13. At the conclusion, attendees should be familiar with the NFPA 30 design schemes and how these designs help overcome the challenges posed by flammable liquids.
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Determine the different classifications of flammable liquids
- Summarize the various challenges of protecting flammable liquids
- Employ the design approaches outlined in NFPA 30 appropriately
