NFPA 58: 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.

This edition of NFPA 58 features some important changes, including:

• Bulk plant and industrial plant definitions have been updated to clearly identify storage threshold at greater than 4,000 gallons water capacity.
• Container appurtenance requirements have been harmonized at 4,000 and less/greater than 4,000 gallons water capacity to better reflect container usage in the field.
• Container and valves often must be protected from vehicular impact. A new definition has been added along with extensive annex material to describe vehicular barrier protection.
• New requirements specify which personnel must be trained and in what topics.
• Requirements have been added for tank heaters and updated for vaporizers.
• Requirements have been added regarding corrosion protection for some underground piping systems.

NFPA 58 also covers a number of safety requirements related to:

• Container construction
• Piping design
• Separation of containers from homes, stores, schools and other important buildings
• Safe handling of liquefied petroleum gas during transfer between containers

Important updates and expanded coverage in the 2008 edition LP-Gas Code reduce the risk of propane fires and explosions.

Referenced in countries around the globe, adopted in all 50 states, and part of the Department of Transportation’s U.S. Pipeline Safety Regulations, NFPA 58: LP-Gas Code is the definitive source for LP-Gas safety requirements. Work with the 2008 edition to make sure you have the latest criteria for the safe design, construction, installation and operation of all LP-Gas systems, as well as highway transportation of LP-Gas.

The 2008 NFPA 58 includes a new section that addresses small LP-Gas system operators and aids compliance with DOT regs.

Currently covered by U.S. Department of Transportation, regulations for pipeline systems of 10-100 users served from one propane tank, such as a mobile home park, are now part of the 2008 LP-Gas Code. Including these requirements will assist propane marketers in complying with what is already federal law, and the simplified Code language makes requirements easier to understand and apply.

Other important changes that advance safety include:

• New location requirements for patio heaters
• Revised table of small container appurtenances
• New rule to require notification of trackside transfer from rail cars
• New coverage of elevated pressure propane systems (20 – 50 psi) used in cogeneration systems, microturbines, metal cutting and similar industrial operations
• Clarified requirements for flexible connectors used as part of piping systems

For engineers, inspectors, AHJs, facility owners, and maintainers who want to pass inspections and make the safety grade, the 2008 NFPA 58 is the clear choice!
