The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) establishes fire
safety standards, including standards for the safe
operation of processes. NFPA 86, the Standard for
Ovens and Furnaces, addresses the safe operation of
Class A and B ovens or furnaces. A new edition of
NFPA 86 was approved as an American National
Standard on August 7, 2003. While the standard’s
basic philosophy has not changed, the new standard
contains revisions and clarifications regarding the
requirement for continuous solvent vapor analyzers.
The revisions have been
incorporated into Control Instruments application
notes:
Understanding NFPA 86-2003: Safety Ventilation &
Continuous LFL Monitoring and
How to Select a Continuous Solvent Vapor Monitor to
Meet NFPA 86-2003 requirements.
