Description

Enhance life safety and property protection. Work with the latest methods for determining flashover risks with the 2009 NFPA 555.

With the growing application of equivalency concepts and performance-based designs, ensuring fire safety by evaluating the potential for room flashover, or full involvement during a fire, becomes an increasingly important task for the engineer and authority having jurisdiction.

The 2009 edition of NFPA 555: Guide on Methods for Evaluating Potential for Room Flashover updates references throughout the document and provides the latest methods for evaluating the potential for room flashover from fire involving the contents, furnishings, and interior finish of a room.

The methods addressed include:

Prevention of ignition
Installation of automatic fire suppression systems
Control of ventilation factors
Limitation of the heat release rate of individual and grouped room contents, furnishings, and interior finish

Order today for improved fire prevention and fire protection.
