The previous editions (2006, with errata in 2008) were based on fire test data and material technology from the early 2000s. Since then:

The recommended practice emphasizes the connection between design and operational safety. It aligns with API RP 2FB to ensure that firewater systems and passive fire protection (PFP) are inspectable and maintainable.

: Provides critical guidance on how mechanical properties of steel (like yield strength) degrade at elevated temperatures.
