Hi everybody,
I should be grateful if somebody guide me to FF of Natural Gas Pressure Booster Stations. Is there any NFPA code covering these stations?

RE: NFPA Code Covering Natural Gas Pressure Booster Stations

Its outside the scope of NFPA 54 and NFPA 59A. You sir, are regulated by the US DOT, Office of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety.

Thank you for your reply. Is there any document from DOT related to this issue?

RE: NFPA Code Covering Natural Gas Pressure Booster Stations

The National Electrical Code NFPA 70 applies per 49 CFR 192.163.  Is the compressor station remotely located away from any fire water supply?  If so then perhaps firewater pump standards could apply.    NFPA 69 explosion prevention, NFPA 496 for purged equipment or control rooms, ...

API 618 and 619 apply to the compressors.

Many DOD standards apply. These also list industry standards such as ASTM A 381 per 49 CFR 192.113, 49 CFR 192.619, ... ASME B31.8 per 49 CFR 192.9xx series, MSS SP-75 per 49 CFR 195, MSS SP-44 per CFR 192.147, ...
