Full Description

NFPA 290 is a new fire test Standard to evaluate the fire performance characteristics of passive protection materials utilized as a component of a liquefied petroleum (LP) gas container.

This test method was derived from one that previously appeared in an annex of NFPA 58: Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. The intent of this procedure is to identify thermal protection insulating systems that retard or prevent the release of the container's contents in a fire environment.
