Fireproofing - Applications

Applications

  • Structural steel to keep below critical temperature ca. 540 °C
  • Electrical circuits to keep critical electrical circuits below 140 °C so they stay operational
  • Liquified petroleum gas containers to prevent a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion)
  • Vessel skirts and pipe bridges in an oil refinery or chemical plant to keep the structural steel below critical temperature ca. 540°
  • Concrete linings of traffic tunnels
