Pooled Fire - Flammability
Pooled Fire - Flammability
(OP)
For a pooled fire, is there a flammability rating that can be applied to determine if a fire case should be considered?
Here is a specific case. A new pump using synthetic lube oil with a flash point > 200°F (NFPA Class IIIB) will be installed near some Section VIII equipment. The surroundings will be close to ambient; I would expect the oil to see a maximum of 120°F. It would appear that a fire case would not be considered.
Thoughts?
