1、 Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA 68 Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting 2007 Edition Reference: Various Sections TIA 07-1 (SC 08-10-2/TIA Log #928) Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects, the National Fire Protection Association has issued th
2、e following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 68, Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting, 2007 edition. The TIA was processed by the Technical Committee on Explosion Protection Systems, and was issued by the Standards Council on October 28, 2008, with an effective date of Novembe
3、r 17, 2008. A Tentative Interim Amendment is tentative because it has not been processed through the entire standards- making procedures. It is interim because it is effective only between editions of the standard. A TIA automatically becomes a proposal of the proponent for the next edition of the s
4、tandard; as such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the standards-making process. 1. In equations 7.2.2.6, 7.3.3.7, and 8.2.8 the terms V and Pred are in the numerator and need to be moved to the denominator as shown in the revised equations below: = 2 . 03 . 0 5 . 06 . 0 )0075. 0( red

In 8.2.7.2, revise the conditions for Equation 8.2.7.2 by deleting the condition for KSt: where: MT = threshold mass (kg/m2) Pred = bar n = number of panels V = volume (m3) KSt 250 bar-m/sec 5. In A.8.2.7 revise the text as follows: A.8.2.7 Wher

Add a new 8.2.7.3 as follows: 8.2.7.3 Where M is greater than 40 kg/m2, it shall be permitted to use the procedure provided in Annex G. 7. In 7.3.3.6.1, revise the text to read as shown: 7.3.3.6.1 When the mass of the ve

Revise the entries in Table 8.5.10 as shown in the text and table below: For the “Vent ducts” model, the application statement on panel density shall read “Panel Density 40 kg/

15、 a cross sectional area at least as great as that of the vent itself but shall be limited to no more than 150% of the vent itself at any point in the vent duct. Hey 12. Revise 8.7.1(3) as follows: (3) Locate the vents such that the bottom of the vent(s) is at or above below the bottom of the bags, a

Revise 8.7.1(2) as follows: (2) Locate the vents as shown in Figure 8.7.1(c) and Figure 8.7.1(d), and bags are either completely removed or shortened so that they do not
19、extend below the top of the vent for a distance of one vent diameter from the vent. In addition, the bags immediately adjacent to the vent shall be removed and the remaining bags the bags which extend below the top of the vent shall be verified by test to be rigid enough to remain in place during ve

For this case, the vent area shall be permitted to be calculated on the basis of the dirty side only; that is, calculate the volume below the tube sheet, and subtract out the volume occupied by the bags.
