A detached building or a separate portion of a building used for the storage, shipping, and receiving of aerosol products.
Industry:Fire safety
A detached building or a separate portion of a building used only for the storage, shipping, and receiving of mixed commodities.
Industry:Fire safety
A detailed engineering review of a plant’s construction features and operating process conducted to ensure that applicable fire prevention and fire protection requirements for safeguarding life and physical property are met.
Industry:Fire safety
A detector comprising an assembly that incorporates a sensor, control components, and an alarm notification appliance in one unit operated from a power source either located in the unit or obtained at the point of installation.
Industry:Fire safety
A detector comprising an assembly that incorporates a sensor, control components, and an alarm notification appliance in one unit operated from a power source either located in the unit or obtained at the point of installation.
Industry:Fire safety
A detector that consists of a piping or tubing distribution network that runs from the detector to the area(s) to be protected. An aspiration fan in the detector housing draws air from the protected area back to the detector through air sampling ports, piping, or tubing. At the detector, the air is analyzed for fire products.
Industry:Fire safety
A detector that employs an electrically insulated rod of temperature-resistant material that extends into the flame being supervised, with a voltage impressed between the rod and a ground connected to the nozzle or burner.
Industry:Fire safety
A detention chamber or an enlargement of a sewer designed to reduce the velocity of flow of the liquid to permit the separation of mineral from organic solids by differential sedimentation.
Industry:Fire safety
A deterministic approach establishes requirements for engineering margin and quality assurance in design, manufacture, and construction. It involves implied, but unquantified, elements of probability in the selection of the specific accidents to be analyzed as design basis events. It does not integrate results in a comprehensive manner to assess the overall impact of postulated initiating events.
Industry:Fire safety
A detonator that utilizes stored electrical energy as a means of powering an electronic timing delay element/module and that provides initiation energy for firing the base charge.
