Nfpa 30 Ppt [repack] Guide

The first step in any NFPA 30 safety plan is identifying what you are storing. NFPA 30 classifies liquids based on their (the lowest temperature at which they give off enough vapor to ignite) and boiling point . Liquid Class Flash Point Boiling Point Class IA < 73°F (22.8°C) < 100°F (37.8°C) Diethyl Ether, Ethylene Oxide Class IB < 73°F (22.8°C) ≥ 100°F (37.8°C) Gasoline, Acetone, Lacquer Thinner Class IC 73°F – 100°F Mineral Spirits, Turpentine Class II 100°F – 140°F Diesel Fuel, Kerosene Class IIIA 140°F – 200°F Motor Oil, Hydraulic Oil Class IIIB ≥ 200°F (93°C) Ethylene Glycol (Antifreeze) Safe Storage Requirements
