Notes:
1. NFPA Figures above use Division nomenclature. The use of NFPA Figures with Zone nomenclature is
discouraged.
2. See Section 5.10 for Highly Volatile Liquid (HVL), Flammable Liquid, and Combustible Liquid definitions.
3. Specific radius dimensions for use with the Figures above should be obtained from Gas/Vapor Dispersion
modeling results.
4. If modeling results cannot be obtained (e.g. composition of material is unknown), use the recommended
radius per the specific figure.
