The ISO 14520 standard series is split into multiple parts. While covers general engineering requirements, Part 5 acts as the dedicated manual for the chemical compound Dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one (
ISO 14520 is a multi-part international standard titled “Gaseous fire-extinguishing systems — Physical properties and system design.” Each part of the series deals with a specific extinguishing agent.
: One of the primary reasons for the adoption of ISO 14520-5 systems is the environmental profile of FK-5-1-12, which boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1 and an atmospheric lifetime of only about five days. Design and Implementation
ISO 14520-5:2019 is the international standard that details the physical properties and system design requirements for CO2 used in total flooding applications. It serves as a vital component of the broader ISO 14520 series, which covers various gaseous media.
