Only such a protection can minimize the costs and downti- mes caused by the fire. Economical protection for paint booths and industrial process equipment Thus the incipient fire in spray booth is very quickly and efficiently extinguished by the RSBP protection system, and line production can be restored in a very short time. ... "Fire protection." Each spray booth shall be separated from other operations by not less than 3 feet, or by a greater distance, or by such partition or wall as to reduce the danger from juxtaposition of hazardous operations. "Separation of operations." When an approved spray booth constructed in accordance with the Fire Code is installed, such booth need not be separated from Group B, F, H, M or S Occupancies. Spray Booth Inspection for Compliance • 1910.107(b)(5)(i): The spraying operations except electrostatic spraying operations shall be so designed, installed and maintained that the average air velocity over the open face of the booth (or booth cross section during spraying operations) shall be not less than 100 linear feet per minute. The following occupancies need not be separated from the uses to which they are accessory: 2.1. 2. 2.2. Whilst our sales engineers are able to guide end-users on the National Building Regulations related to spray booth and flammable store ventilation, we urge the industry to consult with their local fire department for a proper assessment and directives. A series of recommendations regarding separation distances in NFPA 400, including possible approaches to improve on those distances, was STRUCTURAL FIRE PRECAUTIONS 3.1 GENERAL 3.1.1 The purpose of this chapter is to stipulate requirements to minimise the risk of spread of fire between adjoining buildings by separation, prevent the untimely collapse of buildings in the event of fire by the provision of a stable and durable form of Each spray booth shall be separated from other operations by not less than 3 feet (0.912 m), or by a greater distance, or by such partition or wall as to reduce the danger from juxtaposition of hazardous operations. Separation of operations. See also paragraph (c)(1) of this section. Since fire is always a risk when running a spray booth, operators are subject to many of the regulations set forth by the NFPA, especially NFPA-33 National Fire Protection Association's Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials. Assembly rooms having a floor area of not over 750 square feet (69 m²). The fans used for exhausting flammable fumes are fitted with appropriate flameproof motors and non-sparking impeller tracks. adequacy of the separation distance for safe storage of Ammonium Nitrate and safe separation distance for personnel in a process building in the event of an explosion.
