FIRE PROTECTIVE COATING

PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. 2002

WHAT IS FIREPROOFING?
Any barrier which blocks the rate of temperature rise of a given substrate during a fire. Typical forms of fireproofing are: Concrete & Gunite Low Density Cements Insulation Materials Dry Fix Sprayed Fibers Intumescent Coatings

TYPICAL FIRE RATINGS OFFSHORE

Structural Steel Certified Hp/A programs to tailor the amount of fireproofing to the size of steel and limiting steel temperature required. Bulkheads & Underdecks A Type Fire environment is cellulosic. Structure requires no passage of smoke, gas or flame for 1 hour. In addition the number shown after the A indicates the number of minutes the backside temperature can not rise above 139C plus ambient or a max of 180C. H Type Fire environment is hydrocarbon. Structure requires no passage of smoke, gas or flame for 2 hours. In addition the number shown after the H indicates the number of minutes the backside temperature can not rise above 139C plus ambient or a max of 180C. For Stress Skin type bulkheads structural limit should be 400C after 2 hours.

TYPICAL FIRE RATINGS ONSHORE

UL-1709 - Underwriters Laboratory column test designed to simulate a hydrocarbon type fire. Also has a mandatory weathering program to simulate exposure to an industrial environment. UL-263 - Underwriters Laboratory fire test for materials used in building construction. Test can be run on columns, beams, walls, floors and roofs. Simulates burning of standard cellulosic type building materials. Sometimes referred to as ASTM E-119.

EXPLOSION TESTING
PITT-CHAR XP has been subjected to 1.8 bar in actual explosion testing with no cracking or disbonding. Because of its flexible nature PITT-CHAR XP can move with the steel allowing it to take overpressures well into the plastic region of the steel. PITT-CHAR XP is also less likely to be damaged by flying rubble.

EXPLOSION TEST DESCRIPTION Steel panel PFP coated on blast side 60 Kg. charge of ammonium nitrate & fuel oil mixture Overpressure up to 1.8 bar Duration 7.5 milliseconds

PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. 2002

EXPLOSION TEST RESULTS

PITT-CHAR XP has been subjected to actual not just simulated explosion testing In actual overpressures out to 1.8 bar PITT-CHAR XP showed no cracking, disbonding or loss of fire protection With its 19.4% elongation PITT-CHAR XP will remain intact long after the steel has been permanently deformed
