Company Profile:
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 rate at which heat energy is generated by burning expressed as Btu/sec or megawatts (MW).
Industry:Fire safety
The service conductors between the terminals of the service equipment and the point of connection to the service lateral.
Industry:Fire safety
The shield of power cables can be connected to the equipment-grounding conductor at either one end of the cable (single end) or at both ends (double ended). Shielding will ensure uniform dielectric stress along the length of the cable. When grounded at both ends, cable derating might be necessary because of heat due to ground loop current.
Industry:Fire safety
The process of contacting wastewater or air with ozone for the purpose of disinfection, oxidation, or odor control.
Industry:Fire safety
The oxygen concentration (volume percent) at sea level for which the partial pressure of oxygen matches the ambient partial pressure of oxygen at a given altitude.
Industry:Fire safety
The shield of data communication cables can be connected to the equipment-grounding conductor at either one end of the cable (single end) or at both ends (double ended). When both ends of a shield are grounded, another shield should be provided inside the outer shield and that one single end grounded.
Industry:Fire safety
The result, effects, or consequences of an emergency system encounter on the health status of the patient.
Industry:Fire safety
The replacement, addition, modification, or removal of any components of the required ground support or anchoring systems.
Industry:Fire safety
The ratio of chemical heat of combustion to theoretical heat of combustion.
Industry:Fire safety
The qualifications or functions of a specific job(s) associated with chemicals and/or containers used within an organization.
