$204.15
Help Minimize Fire and Electrical Risks in Pressurized, Oxygen-Rich Systems.
Hypobaric facilities are increasing in popularity, but due to their oxygen-rich atmospheres, these systems also carry an increased fire risk. NFPA 99B, Standard for Hypobaric Facilities, addresses the specific hazards inherent to the highly pressurized environments created by hypobaric systems.
The standard offers the latest provisions and best practices for facility design, construction, operation, and maintenance to help prevent fire, explosive, implosive, and electrical hazards.
Some of the topics and features in the 2024 edition include:
- Requirements for electrical equipment with flexible cords
- Automatic operation of safety features
- Types of hazards specific to pressurized hyperbolic systems
- Explanatory information including emergency response procedures and a practical pressure table
