Has anyone seen the International Fire Code Chapters 53 and 58 applied to natural gas installations in addition to the Fuel Gas Code?
IFC Chapter 53 is Compressed Gasses and Chapter 58 is Flammable Gasses. It's technically a gas at standard temperature and pressure with a boiling point below 68 deg F at 14.7 psi and flammable range of 5% to 17% by volume in air. Natural gas appears to be subject to these requirements, but I've never seen it this way in practice. Submitted anonymously and posted for discussion. Discuss This | Submit Your Question | Subscribe

IFC 2018 chp. 53 and 58 would apply as a safety concern. Local AHJ's utilize the IFC and NFP's to address yearly safety issues. Also, these 2 chapters address requirement regarding compressed gases. It give you reference on other codes that need to be follow during and after installation such as NFPA 52, NFPA 55, NFPA 59A.

Thanks Felipe. I see Ch 6 also clears up some of the code overlap. Leave a Reply. |
