pipe, it is advisable to gently heat the primer coated pipe by a run of LPG torch. Remove
the bottom polyethylene from the tape & then heat bottom surface of the tape by LPG
torch or any heat source & start wrapping the tape to the pipe by heating the primer coated
pipe & by removing the bottom polyethylene from the tape before wrapping better
adhesion between the tape & pipe is obtained. Overlaps are maintained with a minimum
of 12.5 mm.
Tape coating of weld joints - The tape is applied over the weld joints after the necessary
welding & testing methods of the joints is completed. The procedure for application of
tape shall be the same as bare pipe procedure. Overlaps on each side of the weld joints
shall be 50 mm.

3.0SPECIFICATIONS FOR NOVEC-1230 GAS BASED FIRE SUPPRESSION

SYSTEM
3.1GENERAL INFORMATION
Novec-1230 is a Clean Agent efficient on Class A, B and C fires. It is a clean, electrically

non-conductive media used for the protection of variety of potential fire hazards
including electrical and electronic equipment.
For most common applications involving Class A & C fires, the recommended
volumetric design concentration is 4.7% for protection of normally occupied areas. As
per NFPA, the minimum extinguishing concentration for Class 'B' fuels is determined by
the cup burner value. The minimum extinguishing concentration for the specific fuel,
plus a safety factor of 20% gives the Design Concentration.
Novec-1230 is stored in high pressure containers and super pressurized by dry nitrogen to
provide additional pressure to ensure rapid discharge. Once the system is activated, the
container valves are opened and the nitrogen propels the liquid under pressure through
the pipe work to the nozzles where it vaporizes. High rate of discharge through the
nozzles ensures that homogenous mixture with the air.
The composition of Novec-1230 is
Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one - CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2, FK-5-1-12
The NOAEL and LOAEL of Novec-1230 are
NOAEL LOAEL 10 >10

the relevant standards, the contractor has to ensure that the design meets this requirement.
A pre discharge alarm along with illumination of warning signs to be installed inside the
protected area to notify the personal present inside to evacuate the protected area. Once
the discharge takes place there should be warning signs restricting personal from entering
the protected area until the gas has been cleared from the area.

as per IS 7285 complete with neck ring. Welded and Non-PESO approved cylinders will
not be accepted.
As per the regulations of the Petroleum & Explosive Safety Organization (PESO)
Nagpur, any system which has a working pressure above 19 bar (280 psi) will require the
use of seamless cylinders that have been duly approved by the PESO, Nagpur.
The maximum and minimum fill density of Novec-1230 in a cylinder shall not be less
than 0.5 kg/lit. and not exceed 0.87 Kg/Lit. of internal volume. Appropriate fill density
shall be chosen based on the cylinder location and piping. The hydraulic calculations
should prove that the fill density is appropriate and total discharge will take place within

3.6.5 FIRE DETECTION AND GAS RELEASE PANEL
Fire detection shall achieve using Conventional smoke/heat/multi criterion detectors. The
protected area shall have 2-zone fire control panel and one set of detectors. Each zone
shall have a set of detectors which are sensitive to fast flaming fire and slow smoldering
fires. In case of either type of fire, the detectors shall detect the condition at an early stage
(the moment products of combustion enter the detector) and shall cause the alarm panel
to activate.
The moment the first zone gets activated the specific zone number shall be displayed and
the panel buzzer shall start operating. At the end of timer one, stage 1 bells and relays
shall be switched on. There shall be two sounders, both of which get switched on

the panel and stage 2 bells shall be activated which is identified by a continuous tone. The
stage 2 bells indicate that area is to be evacuated. The output from the panel to the gas
release module (actuator output) shall activate at the end of timer two, which is initiated
from the moment the panel enters stage 2. It is important to note that the actuator output
on the panel shall be enabled only if the automatic gas release mode is selected.
In the manual mode, even if the panel enters the stage 2, the actuator output shall not be
enabled. In this case, actuator output shall be enabled if and only if the manual release
switch is pressed, which shall cause the panel to enter stage 2 directly and at the end timer
2 enables the actuator output.
In case of alarm during presence of staff, the mute key shall be pressed to silence the
alarm. Reset switch shall be pressed to reset the system. In case any zone is faulty, the
zone isolate switch shall be pressed. This shall cause the zone isolation lamp to light on
the panel.
