The 2024 International Fuel Gas Code: A Guide to Critical Changes, Systems Thinking, and Applied Practice

By Manfred Bauer

The 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) introduces one of the most substantial technical updates of the last decade. This professional guide distills the new requirements, reorganized logic, and practical implications of the code so that engineers, inspectors, technicians, architects, and contractors can apply the changes with confidence and precision.

Designed as a technical companion, not as a replacement for the official standard, this book provides a structured and accessible pathway to understand the 2024 cycle-highlighting why the updates matter and how they affect real-world design, installation, and compliance.
