RE: FM 200 design concentration
for my curiosity to learn more I would like to know the design concentration for Class C fire?
any help is appreciated..
RE: FM 200 design concentration
Is this specified in NFPA 2001 (Clean Agent Fire Extinghishing System)?
RE: FM 200 design concentration
The design concentration is established in its listing. Therefore you need to contact the manufacturer and determine what is required for a Class A fire hazard. See NFPA 2001, section 3-4.2.2. Additionally, NFPA 2001 requires that you provide a safety factor of 1.2.
RE: FM 200 design concentration
you are right Class A can be used also for electric applications but this is only if the electrical supply is isolated (shutdown) during suppression.
So, if you have an application where the electrical supply is live you have to consider class C hazard.
thanks for your help
