14 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 14-NFPA [ Section No ] Compressed Gas. A material, or mixture of materials, that (1) is a gas at 68 F (20 C) or less at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.3 kpa) and (2) has a boiling point of 68 F (20 C) or less at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psi (101.3 kpa) and that is liquefied, nonliquefied, adsorbed onto a solid porous material, or in solution, except those gases that have no other health or physical hazard properties are not considered to be compressed gases until the pressure in the packaging exceeds an absolute pressure of 40.6 psi (280 kpa) at 68 F (20 C). [55, 2013] Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input In 3.3.4, adsorbed onto a solid porous material, was added to clarify that the gas in a Type 1 SAGS is classified as a compressed gas. NFPA 318 has extracted the compressed gas definition from NFPA 55. NFPA 55, and other standards, list toxic and highly toxic gases under compressed gases. In 318, states All (both Type 1 and Type 2) SAGS shall meet the requirements for gases found in this standard, except as provided in through The use of gases and compressed gases are used in different NFPA standards. When addressing the requirements for toxic and highly toxic gases the requirements listed for both gases and compressed gases should be followed. e that Praxair will also propose a TIA in NFPA 55 for the same change in the definition. This will allow the extract process from NFPA 55 to continue in NFPA 318 maintaining the same compressed gas definition found in NFPA 55. If the same proposed change is not adopted until NFPA 55:2019 edition, then 318 can extract the definition in its next cycle. e to NFPA Staff. I submitted 3 proposed changes. None of them showed my name, which is "Ronald Fuhrhop". It just has "not specified" and I could not change it. It only had my address (ronald_fuhrhop@praxair.com). I verified thet my profile had both my name, , address and company. I want to make sure that these three proposals are accepted and submitted to the Technical Committee for review. If there is anything that I need to do, please let me know. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: RONALD FUHRHOP Organization: Praxair Inc.

15 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 8-NFPA [ Section No ] * Exempt Amount per Control Area. The amount of hazardous material allowed to be stored, used, or handled in a control area as. A The exempt amount is set forth in NFPA 1, Fire Code, and NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code. The exempt amount per control area is based on the material state (solid, liquid, or gas) and the material storage or use conditions. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input This simply moves the reference to NFPA 1 and 5000 to the Annex in compliance with the Manual of Style. The second sentence is not really part of the definition but additional information.

17 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 12-NFPA [ Section No [Excluding any Sub-Sections] ] A material that has a fluidity greater than that of 300 penetration asphalt when tested in accordance with ASTM D 5, Standard Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous Materials. Unless otherwise specified, the term liquid includes melting point that is equal to or less than 68 F (20 C) and a boiling point that is greater than 68 F (20 C) and 14.7 psia (101.3 kpa). When not otherwise identified, the term liquid shall mean both flammable and combustible liquids. [NFPA 1] Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input There is no need for the definition to deal with requirements based on bitumen penetration when it is easiest to simply extract a normal definition of liquid from NFPA 1, which does not contain references to other standards.

18 0 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 7-NFPA [ Section No ] Noncombustible. In semiconductor fabrication facilities, a material that, in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subjected to fire or heat. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 C, shall be considered noncombustible materials material. (see 4.3). Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input This is being proposed for consistency with many other documents (including NFPA 1, 101, 5000, 90A, 220, etc) and for compliance with the Manual of Style, which prohibits requirements and references to codes and standards in definitions. The requirements are proposed to be moved to a new section 4.3 and extracted from NFPA 101.

35 7 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 15-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A A subatmospheric gas source (SAGS) reduces the risk and magnitude of gas releases. In a SAGS, a vacuum (subatmospheric) condition is required to induce gas flow from the cylinder. An accidental opening of the valve under atmospheric conditions will result in little or no gas release. In a Type 1 SAGS, gas is adsorbed on a medium (with internal pressure of less than kpa at 20 C and less than 300 kpa at 50 C as defined in the UN Model Regulations, i.e. positive pressure above 20 C) and is released under a vacuum condition. In a Type 2 SAGS, the pressure driver is mitigated via a normally closed internal valve that requires a vacuum condition to release the gas. Because of its improved built-in safety features, a SAGS should be used instead of standard high-pressure cylinder gas wherever process compatibility allows. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input In A , the sentence An accidental opening of the valve under atmospheric conditions will result in little or no gas release. was deleted because we should not include accident scenarios in a standard. The first sentence states (SAGS) reduces the risk an magnitude of gas releases. which implies improved safety without going into the many specific benefits and the many different accident scenarios. In A , the parenthetical text (with internal pressure of less than kpa at 20 C and less than 300 kpa at 50 C as defined in the UN Model Regulations, i.e. positive pressure above 20 C) was added in order to provide important information about Type 1 SAGS. Users should be aware that Type 1 SAGS can be above atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures, typically above 25 C. It is common for Type 1 to be above atmospheric pressure under normal storage, handling and use conditions. An accidental opening of the valve under atmospheric conditions and temperatures above 25 C, Type 1 will result in a puff of gas release followed by gas desorbing from the media. The definition in the UN Model regulations was referenced because it includes pressure and temperature values accepted by DOT and internationally. The statement i.e. positive pressure above 20 C makes the reader aware that Type 1 can be positive pressure at higher temperatures.

36 8 of 32 7/8/ :32 PM Public Input No. 16-NFPA [ Section No. A ] A A Type 1 SAGS has an inherent flow restriction because the cylinder s internal gas pressure is subatmospheric at 20 C. At temperatures typically above 25 C, the pressure will be above atmospheric. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Input In A , the added language that makes the reader aware that Type 1 SAGS can be positive pressure at temperatures typically above 25 C. Users should be aware that positive pressure can exist and it should be addressed when evaluating release scenarios. It is common for Type 1 to be above atmospheric pressure under normal storage, handling and use conditions. An accidental opening of the valve under atmospheric conditions and temperatures above 25 C, Type 1 will result in a puff of gas release followed by gas desorbing from the media.
