Volumetric Design Concentration & Safety Factor

Fire Hazard Classes Design Concentration Safety Factor

Class A 6.70 % 1.2

Class B 8.97% 1.3
Class C 7.20% 1.2

Amount of FM – 200 required

W = V/S * (C /100 - C)

W = Weight (FM200) in lbs.

V = Protected space volume (L * W * H)
C = FM200 Volumetric Design Concentration
S = Specific vapor volume in ft³/lbs;
S = 1.885 + (0.0046 * T) – English System
S = 0.1269 + (0.005*T) – SI unit
Where T = minimum Temperature

Final Design Concentration

C = Design Concentration * Safety Factor
