FDNY CoF - Non‑Flammable Compressed Gases (G‑46) Practice Test

The recommended storage limit of flammable gas per conveyor in buildings is established to ensure safety and minimize the risk of fire hazards. The 15,000 SCF limit has been determined based on various safety standards and regulations that take into account the physical properties of the gases, potential for leaks, and the overall safety of storage environments in relation to the design and use of conveyors.

Setting the storage limit at 15,000 SCF allows for adequate operational flexibility while maintaining a focus on safety. This threshold is seen as a balance between operational needs and the inherent risks involved with handling flammable gases. Exceeding this limit could increase the risk of incidents, thus regulations strongly recommend not surpassing this established figure to prevent potential emergencies and ensure safe handling practices within buildings.
