NFPA 430 Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers
NFPA 430 液態和固態氧化物的貯存規范
1.1.1 This code shall apply to the storage and handling of oxidizers that are liquid or solid at ambient conditions.
1.1.1.1 This code shall not apply to the storage of solid and liquid oxidizers for normal use on the premises of one- and two-family dwellings.
1.1.1.2 Separate chapters shall specify requirements for storage of oxidizers by class where the quantities stored are greater than the stated minimums.
1.1.1.3* For quantities of a class of oxidizer that are less than the minimum covered by the separate chapter for that class, those parts of that chapter pertaining to fire prevention and compatibility as well as all of Chapter 4 of this code shall be used as requirements.
1.1.2 This code shall not apply to explosives or blasting agents, which are covered by NFPA 495, Explosive Materials Code; to ammonium nitrate, which is covered in NFPA 490, Code for the Storage of Ammonium Nitrate; or to organic peroxides, which are covered in NFPA 432, Code for the Storage of Organic Peroxide Formulations.
1.1.3 The quantity and arrangement limits in this code shall not apply to the storage of oxidizers in process areas at plants where oxidizers are manufactured.
1.1.3.1 This code shall not apply to the storage of solid and liquid oxidizers in existing buildings used for the storage of oxidizers at manufacturing plants.
1.1.4 The quantity and arrangement limits in this code shall not apply to facilities that use ammonium perchlorate in the commercial manufacture of large-scale rocket motors.
Get the facts to avoid dangers when storing oxidizers!
NFPA 430 provides requirements for the safe storage of liquid and solid oxidizers including, commercially available strengths of oxidizers used for water treatment. Proper storage and handling will decrease the risks of explosion, spontaneous ignition of combustible materials, rapid decomposition, and other hazardous situations.
The 2004 edition of NFPA 430 is a complete revision of the document and contains many significant changes, including
· Requirements to restrict storage exposure from excessive temperatures
· A major revision of the sprinkler requirements for Class 3 oxidizers stored in sprinklered buildings
· A revision of the allowable storage amounts for Class 1-3 oxidizers that generally reduces the amount of material that can be stored without using sprinkler protection.
· A revision of the requirements for storage in mercantile occupancies.
· Annex material to assist emergency responders so they have a better understanding of the hazards and behavior of oxidizers.
· Annex material on the physical properties of oxidizers.
