Established in 1896, NFPA's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.
The difference between the gross heat of combustion per unit mass of a representative specimen of the material and the heat of combustion per unit mass of any residue remaining after exposure of a representative specimen of the material to a defined heat source using combustion calorimetric techniques.
Industry:Fire safety
The device used to transfer energy between the output circuit and the object or mass to be heated.
Industry:Fire safety
The device on the electric vehicle into which the electric vehicle connector is inserted for charging and information exchange. This device is part of the electric vehicle coupler. For the purposes of this Code,the electric vehicle inlet is considered to be part of the electric vehicle and not part of the electric vehicle supply equipment.
Industry:Fire safety
The dew point value of the gas at the maximum anticipated container pressure of the CNG or GH2 vehicular fuel system usually measured in the container prior to pressure reduction.
Industry:Fire safety
The device in a burner that breaks down liquid fuel into a finely divided state without using an atomizing medium.
Industry:Fire safety
The device in a burner that breaks down liquid fuel into a finely divided state.
Industry:Fire safety
The detection of heat energy radiated by objects to produce a “thermal image. ” This thermal image is converted by electronics and signal processing into a visual image that can be viewed by the operator.
Industry:Fire safety
The detailed study of how chemistry, fire science, and the engineering disciplines of fluid mechanics and heat transfer interact to influence fire behavior.
Industry:Fire safety
The desired pressure difference between the protected space and an adjacent space measured at the boundary of the protected space under a specified set of conditions with the smoke-control system operating.
