Sawhorse
Given:
An existing F-1 wood working occupancy.
Fully sprinkled building.
Dust collection unit is located outside the building.
Dust collection tubes extend to each piece of equipment inside the building.
Building will have this dust collection unit replaced with a new unit.
No other work is being completed inside the building.
2018 IBC and 2018 IMC
I am the AHJ.
Question:
The mechanical engineer is asking if explosion relief vents need to be installed per 2018 IMC 511.1.5.
That section of the mechanical code includes "... installed per IBC requirements". But I find nothing in the IBC related to explosion relief vents.
This is the first time I have had this question.
As always, thanks in advance.
