We are here to help you identify, analyze, and resolve your internal explosion hazards. Our contribution to the standards developed by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Explosion Protection Committee, go well beyond participation on the committee by contributing test data that have been leveraged by the Explosion Protection Committee over the past two decades to improve and validate the correlations within the relevant NFPA standards.  As a result of active involvement in this committee, our professionals have developed an intimate understanding of the tools and techniques available for analyzing internal explosion hazards.
