This edition of NFPA 33 was approved as an American National Standard on September 7, 2015. Origin and Development of NFPA 33 NFPA 33, Standard for Spray Applicatio
33、n Using Flammable or Combustible Materials, originally titled Standard on Paint Spraying and Spray Booths, was initiated in 1921.

34、ble Liquids).

36、er 1. (2) Chapter 6 (formerly Chapter 4), Electrical and Other Sources of Ignition, was extensively revised to recognize the Zone concept of area classication. Changes included the addition of appropriate denitions and revisions of the gures illustrating the area classications in and around spray ar
37、eas, spray booths, spray rooms, and equipment. (3) Chapter 9 (formerly Chapter 7), Protection, was extensively revised to more effectively and more clearly present the requirements for re protection in spray areas. In addition, the requirements for interlocking were claried and requirements for auto
38、mated electrostatic spray systems were modied to reect current operational practices, including extending these concepts to powder application systems. (4) A new chapter was added that included several changes: Section 10.5 (formerly Section 8.5), Waste Containers, was to provide more specic guidanc
39、e on the handling of waste materials. Section 10.7 (formerly Section 8.7), Cleaning Operations, was revised to allow the use of any suitable solvent for cleaning of spray equipment, provided it is used safely. The requirements were also applied to spray apparatus cleaning systems. Finally, a new Sec
40、tion 10.8 was added to address the hazards of solvent distillation units. (5) The re protection requirements formerly located in Section 9.5, Exception No. 2, of the 2000 edition, were incorporated into Section 9.7 and Section 9.8. (6) Subsection 14.3.5 (formerly 12.3.5) was revised to incorporate t
41、he Zone concept of area classication for use with limited nishing workstations.SPRAY APPLICATION USING FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS 33-2 2016 Edition The following major changes were adopted in the 2007 edition: (1) In Chapter 3, the denition of spray area was revised to more clearly dene the
42、extent of the spray area and to identify those parts of the process that are not considered part of the spray area. (2) In Section 5.5, the allowable materials for vision and observation panels were expanded to include laminated glass and other listed assemblies. Also, vision and observation panels
43、for powder spray booths are now allowed to be of re retardant combustible materials. (3) Chapter 6 was amended with text extracted from NFPA 70 , National Electrical Code , to reect changes in NFPA 70 to hazardous locations. (4) Denitions were extracted from NFPA 70 , National Electrical Code , and
44、added to Chapter 6 to recognize Class II, Zones 20, 21, and 22 hazardous (classied) locations. (5) Section 7.7 was revised to allow re retardant combustible materials for ducts connected to powder coating booths. (6) In Chapter 8, the maximum quantities of ammable and combustible liquids were change
45、d to correlate with changes to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. (7) In Chapter 9, the requirements for protection of spray area exhaust ducts were revised, expanded, and claried. (8) In Chapters 11, 12, and 15, 11.3.6, 12.5.4, and 15.13.4 were added to designate certain highly resist
46、ive workpieces as grounded, if they meet certain criteria of surface conductivity. (9) In Chapter 13, more restrictive requirements for high temperature limit switches and interlocks were added for spray booths and spray rooms that are also used for drying and curing operations. (10) In Chapter 14,
47、more denitive requirements were added for drying, curing, and fusion apparatus used in limited nishing workstations. The following major changes were adopted in the 2011 edition: (1) In Section 1.1, the scope was amended to exempt certain small quantity operations, and a decision tree was added to A
48、nnex A (A.1.1.1) to assist the user in determining whether NFPA 33 is applicable to a particular spray application process. (2) The denition of spray area in 3.3.1.3 was amended to more clearly identify which parts of the spray system are not considered to be part of the spray area. (3) Chapter 6 wa
49、s revised to recognize the Zone 21 and Zone 22 hazardous (classied) area classications for combustible dusts. This correlated with NFPA 70 , National Electrical Code , with respect to the latters recognition of Zones 21 and 22 for electrical systems. (4) Section 7.7 was amended to allow concrete as a material of construction for spray area exhaust plenums and ducts, thus allowing a formed concrete exhaust plenum in the oor beneath a spray booth or room. (5) Section 8.2 was completely revised to recognize the concept of m
