To: NFPA Technical Committee on Foam

From: Kelly Carey, Administrator, Technical Projects

Date: August 6, 2013

Subject: NFPA 2001 First Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (F2014)

According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot.

27 Members Eligible to Vote 6 Not Returned (S. Fox, E. Hugill, J. Leedy, R. Mahlman , D. Owen, N. Ramsden) 9 Affirmative on All 3 Affirmative with Comment on one or more first revisions: (R. Coppola, B. Shugarman, D. Sornsin) 2 Negatives on one or more first revisions: (J. Borowski, R. Kasiski) 1 Abstentions on one or more first revisions: (J. Scheffey) The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each first revision.

There are two criteria necessary for each first revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2/3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined.

(1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote ÷ 2 = 10 + 1 = 11)

(2) Example for Affirmative 2/3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not

return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote – 1 not returned – 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 )

As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

'within'.

Richard A. Coppola 4.7.2.2 is not needed in solution piping section. it is listed in 4.7.1.3 under

concentrate piping.David M. Sornsin Regarding 4.7.2.7 Schedule 10 should be allowed for pipe serving high expansion

Jerald A. Borowski Item #4 in section 4.7.2.1,4.7.3.2.1 should read Carbon Steel Pipe. Carbon Steel

pipe and Galvanize pipe produce corrison in closed or open systems to

atmosphere when water or foam solution is being used or stored. The committes

substantiation confirms this in parthensis( The foam solution piping on these

systems is exposed to thermal changes, air movement, and other environmental

conditions that can cause condensation and resulting corrosion leading to

formation of debris and pipe scale.) Section 4.7.3.1.1 item #4 has a contradiction

with section 4.7.3.1.2 as carbon steel pipe has been tested for compatibility with

foam concentrates.
