11/18/2015 MARTIN BROWN FIRE REVIEW Reqs Change 1. Please see copy (below) of CO2 policy. Please read and apply to this project and provide comments and corrections to plans on resubmittal.-KenB

1.0 Objectives
This guideline addresses compressed gas system installations including Carbon Dioxide. The fire code official is authorized to adopt polices to clarify the application of the International Fire Code per section 104.1. This policy will go before the Fire Code Review Committee for formal adoption into the City Fire Code.

2.0 Policy
These requirements shall be followed for all new installations and modifications to existing systems:

Gas detection:

Compressed gases such as carbon dioxide, helium, argon, nitrogen and other
compressed gases that are classified as an asphyxiant shall be provided with gas
detection and alarm systems. The gas detection and alarm systems shall be installed, inspected, tested, calibrated and maintained per the manufacturer's instructions or at a mini-
mum annually. Records of inspectors and maintenance shall be available for review upon request by the Tucson Fire Department.

Exception:
A system containing fewer than two 50-pound (22 kg) DOT-approved cylinders shall not be required to provide gas detection and alarm systems.


Asphyxiant gas detection systems shall be installed according to the manufacturer's manual and shall be supervised or indicate functioning power supply. The power to the gas monitoring system shall be circuit locked and labeled. The detection system shall be capable of two-tier detection; approximately 34 percent of the immediately dangerous to
life and health (IDLH) concentration and approximately 75 percent of the immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) concentration. At approximately 34 percent of the
IDLH a local warning/supervisory signal with visible and audible indication shall occur and shall be transmitted off-site as a supervisory signal when the facility has a system capable
of monitoring signals off-site. At approximately 75 percent of the IDLH an evacuation alarm shall sound for the occupancy and shall transmit off-site as a gas specific alarm when the
facility has a system capable of monitoring signals off site or established protocols are in place to call 911 and notify the Tucson Fire Department.






Connection to fire alarm panel or monitoring panel shall be completed. A separate fire alarm permit is required. If the building does not have a monitoring panel to send a signal to an approved central, proprietary, or remote station, an established protocol shall be submitted for review for notification of the fire department upon alarm. Local warning/supervisory signal alarm and evacuation notification devices are required whether off-site monitoring is provided or not.

A minimum of two evacuation notification devices with audible and visible notification shall be provided near the primary point of use and the area or room where the asphyxiant gas cylinders are located, as well as the common area where the public gathers. The notification device shall be rated a minimum of 100 CD for a visible effect and 75 dB for an audible effect. The notification devices shall be identified and labeled for the gas being used. Use of the building fire alarm notification devices for evacuation is acceptable, provided the asphyxiant gas detection has visible and audible clear indicators in the hazard area upon both the warning level and alarm level of the gas. It shall be clear to the responders upon approach to the hazard that asphyxiant gas is present.

Definition: Point of use-is defined as the location where an asphyxiant gas is being used to operate a piece of equipment or machinery including, but not limited to, ketchup dispensers, carbonation machines, cup machines and drive-up windows.

Specific requirements for CO2 gas systems:

Where the compressed gas is carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas detection systems shall not be an oxygen sensor type.

Gas detection shall be provided at each point of use whether the cylinder, vessel,
or container is located inside or outside the structure. Basements or subterranean spaces, or both, that could be physically entered and that have CO2 process lines shall have gas detection. When a CO2 gas detection device reaches 15,000 ppm, a local warning or supervisory alarm shall sound at a normally occupied location, and the device shall transmit a supervisory signal when the facility has a system capable of monitoring signals off-site or established protocols are in place to notify the facility's responsible party.


When a CO2 gas detection device reaches 30,000 ppm, a general evacuation signal shall sound for the occupancy, and sound for the occupancy, and the device shall transmit off-site as a gas specific alarm when the facility has a system capable of monitoring signals off-site or established protocols are in place to call 911 and notify the Tucson Fire Department.







CO2 tank and piping requirements:

Piping systems shall be designed, constructed and tested in accordance with ASME/ANSI B31.3, Process Piping Code,2004 edition. Piping and tubing shall be identified to indicate the
material conveyed and the direction of flow. Pipe labels shall be provided at a maximum spacing of 20 feet (6096mm), at each change of direction, and on both sides of
walls or floor and ceiling penetrations.

The termination point of relief vent discharge piping shall be outdoors and a minimum of 10 feet (3048 mm) from operable openings into the building.

Carbon dioxide piping systems shall be designed to a bursting pressure of at least four times the system design pressure. All fittings used in the piping system shall be designed for a working pressure not to exceed 125 percent of the designed pressure of the hose.
All piping systems shall be leak tested in accordance with the following:

1. Piping systems shall be tested by a pneumatic pattern at a pressure equal to the working pressure for 15 minutes or as long as it takes to check each joint. The test medium shall be carbon dioxide.
2. Soap testing of all fittings shall be witnessed at time of inspection. Acceptable piping for CO2 shall be the following:

2.1. Stainless steel A269 grade, which is either seamless or welded drawn over mandrel, the following connection types: flare, welded, brazed or bite type compression.
2.2. Copper K grade, hard-drawn seamless, with the following connection types: flared, welded, brazed, bite type compression.
2.3. Copper ACR grade (1/2 inch or less) annealed seamless with the following types of connections some appraised, flared or bite that can pressure compression.
2.4. Additional approved piping and fittings can be found in CGA G6.1, Standard for Insulated Liquid Carbon Dioxide System for Consumer Site.
2.5. Rigid plastic piping shall not be allowed.

A special report on the piping material shall be submitted to the Tucson Fire Department for the installation of material that is not listed in the CGA G6.1 standard, including plastic tubing. A special report on the piping material shall not be required if the piping material has been listed by a third-party testing group such as UL or FM for the intended use.










CO2 gas ventilation requirements:

When any ASME vessels containing CO2 or more than two 50-pound DOT CO2 cylinders per system are connected to a piping system and located within the structure, a mechanical exhaust ventilation system shall be provided. A separate plan submittal for the installation of this mechanical exhaust ventilation system is required by the Building Department.

The mechanical exhaust ventilation system shall be designed at a rate not less than 1 cubic foot per minute (28316 mm3), per square foot of floor area, within the area inside the structure where
the ASME vessel or DOT cylinders are located.

The exhaust intake shall be taken from a point within 12 inches (305 mm) of the floor for cylinders, vessels or containers holding CO2. The exhaust system intake shall be located a minimum of 2 feet (609 mm) away from any gas detector or located on the opposite wall of any gas detector.

The termination point of exhaust outlets and ducts discharging to the outdoors shall be located a minimum of 10 feet (3048 mm) from property lines, a minimum of 3 feet above the roof line, and a minimum of 10 feet from operable openings into the building and a minimum of 10 feet
(3048 mm) above adjoining grade.

The exhaust system shall automatically activate when the concentration of CO2 reaches 3 percent (30,000 ppm).

A manual activation switch shall be provided at the entrance of the area where the ASME vessel or DOT cylinders are located. This manual activation switch shall be clearly marked with its function.

Emergency relief vents, burst disks and pump vents shall be terminated outside the building and at least 10 feet from openings into the building or property lines.
