With the steady rise in the use of cost-effective natural gas vehicles, it's critical to have access to the complete range of requirements for designing, installing, operating, and maintaining compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) engine fuel systems and dispensing systems. The newest edition of NFPA 52, Vehicular Natural Gas Fuel Systems Code, offers in-depth instruction for helping to safeguard people and installations in a user-friendly format that’s easy to navigate and comprehend.

An essential for designers, engineers, maintenance professionals, facilities managers, contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction, NFPA 52 covers CNG and LNG systems on all types of vehicles and applies to facilities with LNG storage in containers of 100,000 gallons or less.

2021 International Fuel Gas Code addresses the design and installation of fuel gas systems and gas-fired appliances through requirements that emphasize performance.

Establishes minimum regulations for mechanical systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. The IMC was developed with broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials, methods and design.

Important changes in the edition include:

Clothes dryer exhaust terminals required to be at least 3 feet from any opening into a building.
Polyurethane spray-applied foam on the exterior of ducts in attics and crawl spaces required to meet specific smoke and flame index limits.
Fire and smoke dampers must be provided with approved access for inspection and maintenance.
Refrigerant tables updated to include new refrigerants.
Addition of condensate termination identification markings and discharge restrictions.
Approved factory-built combination intake/exhaust terminations permitted, relaxing separation requirement.
30% reduction in minimum mechanical ventilation for whole-house balanced ventilation systems.
Continuous operation requirement for manicure and pedicure station exhaust systems.
Grease duct horizontal cleanout required within 3 feet of a horizontal discharge fan.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code provides minimum safety requirements for all liquefied petroleum gas (propane) installations, from small cylinders installed at residences to large bulk storage facilities that can exceed 100,000 gallons. The code includes minimum requirements for safe handling during LP gas transfer, including operator qualifications, maximum filling quantity in containers, and pre-transfer inspections to ensure containers are fit for continued service.

Fully updated and featuring new full-color photos, NFPA®'s 2012 National Fuel Gas Code Handbook explains technical NFPA 54 rules and fuel gas safety concepts -- so you're prepared to answer questions from employees and owners; and verify fuel gas piping, appliance, and venting jobs are in compliance.The only complete guide to the 2012 NFPA 54 Code, the Handbook is written by industry authorities including Franklin Switzer, Jr., President of S-afe, Inc., NFPA Senior Engineer Denise Beach, Paul Cabot of the American Gas Association, and John Roberts from Rimkus Consulting Group.

Without proper safety protocols in place, charging or evacuating flammable gas piping systems can be a dangerous endeavor. NFPA 56: Standard for Fire and Explosion Prevention During Cleaning and Purging of Flammable Gas Piping Systemsprovides a valuable foundation for making safety-related decisions while developing procedures for these activities.
