Control hazards to protect lives and property with the 2011 NFPA 53: Recommended Practice on Materials, Equipment, and Systems Used in Oxygen-Enriched Atmospheres.
The 2011 NFPA 53 is your single-source for the latest criteria for the safe use of oxygen (liquid/gaseous) and the design of systems for use in oxygen and oxygen-enriched atmospheres (OEAs). Information is provided for the selection of materials, components, and design criteria that can be used safely in oxygen and OEAs.
Applications of NFPA 53 include:
- Gas and compressed air supplies
- Spaceflight operations
- Industrial processes
- Welding applications
- Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
- Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA)
- Underwater tunneling and caisson work
- Commercial and military aviation
This document also provides actual reports of fire experience in OEAs
