NFPA 58 : Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, 2008 Edition
Safety Requirements for LP-Gas With the 2008 NFPA 58 Code

LP-Gas will always be dangerous, but with the 2008 NFPA 58, you'll enhance safety, with:

• New security measures for bulk sites and industrial plants
• Added propane cylinder requalification requirements. No more flipping to DOT specifications
• Added tables for faster, easier referencing of vital quantities and other rules, such as the new table of allowable quantities of LP-Gas in cylinders located in building occupancies
• Clarified requirements for container appurtenance safety valves. New tables make referencing faster and easier.

Text dealing with multiple topics is arranged in sections to streamline research efforts. For example, Chapters 5 and 6, LP-Gas equipment and installation requirements, are renumbered with parallel section numbers.

And, in keeping with the needs of today's professionals throughout the field, operations and maintenance requirements are extended to cover marine, pipeline, and refrigerated storage facilities.
