Also Known As:
The NFPA 51-2018 standard aims to reduce the risk of fire and explosions in oxygen-fuel gas systems. It provides the latest fire safety requirements for gas-fueled systems, working alongside other NFPA codes such as NFPA 1: Fire Code, NFPA 400: Hazardous Materials Code, and NFPA 5000: Building Construction and Safety Code.
This standard is essential for industry professionals, design engineers, and code enforcement officials, as it offers guidance on various aspects, including cylinder storage, system manifolding and piping, and protective equipment like regulators. It also covers the use of acetylene generators, calcium carbide storage, and mobile acetylene trailer systems.
The 2018 edition of NFPA 51 includes changes that aim to improve consistency with the latest edition of NFPA 55: Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code. These updates ensure that the standard aligns with the most comprehensive set of industrial gas requirements in the industry.
