Table 1 Maximum flame heights and minimum horizontal safety distances for bursts
Minimum horizontal safety distances presented in table 1 above serve solely as a general
guideline for the usual use case. It is the
operator’s responsibility
to assess the location, show
scene, potential air movement and all other relevant factors to determine appropriate safety
distances for their own use case. Same considerations apply to vertical safety distances.
Note: Show scene (script / firing plan) can influence the safety distance requirement since it
determines how much heat there is and how long it has to dissipate. Long bursts or fires in quick
succession are able to heat up the area around the machine much more than short bursts used
in long separation. Thus, safety distance should be adjusted accordingly.
