NFPA290 Standard for Fire Testing of Passive Protection Materials for Use on LP-Gas Containers 2009 Edition This edition of NFPA 290, Standard for Fire Test
25、ing of Passive Protection Materials for Use on LP-Gas Containers, was prepared by theTechnical Committee on FireTests. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 30, 2008, with an effective date of July 18, 2008, and supersedes all previous editions. ThiseditionofNFPA290wasapprovedasanAmericanNat
26、ionalStandardonJuly18,2008. Origin and Development of NFPA 290 Although the 2003 edition was the first edition of NFPA290, Fire Testing of Passive Protection Materials forUse on LP-Gas Containers, a test procedure for torch fire and hose stream testing of thermal insulating systems for LP-Gas contai
27、ners has been included as an annex to NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, since the 1986 edition of that code. That test method was devel- oped by theTechnical Committee on FireTests at the request of theTechnical Committee on Liquefied Petroleum Gases as a result of numerous BLEVE incidents that
28、 had occurred in previous years. In the mid-1990s, the test procedure saw greater use, particularly outside the United States, and the two technical committees agreed that it should be developed and maintained as a fire test standard under the scope of the Fire Test Committee rather than as an annex
29、 to NFPA 58. The 2003 edition of NFPA 290 represented a refinement of the test procedure that previ- ously appeared as an appendix to NFPA58, and it reorganized the procedure as a stand-alone fire test standard using mandatory language in accordance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Commit
30、tee Documents. The 2009 edition contains revisions to clarify its scope and purpose, and a revised defini- tion of the term “passive fire protection material.” 2901 NFPA and National Fire Protection Association are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy, Massachuse
