Section G101 — California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9)

G101.1 Scope. This appendix is used to convert from liquid¶

to gas for cryogenic fluids.

G101.2 Conversion.¶

Table G101.2 shall be used to determine the equivalent amounts of cryogenic fluids in either the liquid or gas phase.

G101.2.1 Use of the table. To use Table G101.2, read horizontally across the line of interest. For example, to determine the number of cubic feet of gas contained in 1.0 gallon (3.785 L) of liquid argon, find 1.000 in the column entitled “Volume of Liquid at Normal Boiling Point . ” Reading across the line under the column entitled “Volume of Gas at NTP” (70°F and 1 atmosphere/14.7 psia), the value of 112.45 cubic feet (3.184 m ³ ) is found.

G101.2.2 Other quantities. If other quantities are of interest, the numbers can be multiplied or divided to obtain the quantity of interest. For example, to determine the number of cubic feet of argon gas contained in a volume of 1,000 gallons (3785 L) of liquid argon at its normal boiling point, multiply 112.45 by 1,000 to obtain 112,450 cubic feet (3184 m ³ ).

For SI: 1 pound = 0.454 kg, 1 gallon = 3.785 L, 1 cubic foot = 0.02832 m ³, °C = [(°F) - 32]/1.8, 1 pound per square inch atmosphere = 6.895 kPa. a. The values listed for liquefied natural gas (LNG) are “typical” values. LNG is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, and no two LNG streams have exactly the

same composition.

APPENDIX H

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN (HMMP) AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INVENTORY STATEMENT (HMIS)

INSTRUCTIONS (See Sections 5001.5.1 and 5001.5.2)

The provisions contained in this appendix are not mandatory unless specifically referenced in

the adopting ordinance or legislation of the jurisdiction.

User note:

About this appendix: Appendix H is intended to assist businesses in establishing a Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP) and Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) based on the classification and quantities of materials that would be found on-site in storage or use. The sample forms and available Safety Data Sheets (SDS) provide the basis for the evaluations. It is also a companion to Sections 407.5 and 407.6, which provide the requirement that the HMIS and HMMP be submitted where required by the fire code official.
