1、 Tentative Interim Amendment NFPA51 Standard for the Design and Installation of Oxygen-Fuel Gas Systems for Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes 2013 Edition Reference: 10.10 and A.10.10 TIA 13-1 (SC 12-10-3/TIA Log #1070) Pursuant to Section 5 of the NFPA Regulations Governing Committee Projects,

2、 the National Fire Protection Association has issued the following Tentative Interim Amendment to NFPA 51, Standard for the Design and Installation of Oxygen-Fuel Gas Systems for Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes, 2013 edition. The TIA was processed by the Technical Committee on Industrial and

3、Medical Gases, and was issued by the Standards Council on October 30, 2012, with an effective date of November 19, 2012.
