NFPA 58 committee to vote on cathodic protection proposal
December 1, 2009The NFPA 58 Committee on the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, at its October meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, introduced a requirement that all cathodic protection systems on underground propane containers must be checked annually. This adds to a proposal approved in the spring requiring cathodic protection on all underground propane containers. The decision for annual system checks is subject to a confirming letter ballot. In addition, a proposal change removing the requirement for a 7-foot vent stack on all pressure relief valves on tanks over 2,000 gallons was not challenged. As a result, the change removing the requirement most likely will be reflected in the 2011 edition of NFPA 58.
