Fire classification of dilute nitric acid
Thread Content
The building code classifies nitric acid fires as Category B, but does not specify the concentration. For dilute nitric acid with a concentration of 10% or less, how should the fire category be determined?
Does dilute nitric acid catch fire? It is indeed corrosive.
Do you still think that only situations where fire can occur constitute fire hazard categories?
The fire hazard category, as the name implies, – if there’s no fire, where does the fire hazard come from? If you’re talking about the risk of explosion, it’s possible that there is no fire but still an explosion occurs.
With unique perspectives and insights, I suggest writing to the standard-setting committees for \"Building Codes\" and \"Petroleum Industry Standards\" and asking them to revise the definitions of fire hazard categories:lol:lol:lol
