NFPA 85 PDF

Access clear information for boiler and combustion systems fire safety compliance — from design and installation to inspection.

Boiler hazards not only impact operational performance, but they can also cause explosions and jeopardize the lives of facility occupants and maintenance personnel. NFPA 85, Boiler and Combustion Systems Hazards Code, gives everyone involved with large boiler installations and pulverized fuel systems the information they need for fire safety compliance — from design and installation to inspection.

NFPA 85 presents up-to-date requirements for the full range of equipment:

• Large boilers, including atmospheric fluidized bed boilers with a minimum fuel input rating of 12.5 million Btu/hr (3.6 MW)
• Stoker operations
• Pulverized fuel systems
• Fired or unfired steam generators used to recover heat from combustion turbines
