Comparison of the Effects of Different Fire Test Regimes on Passive Fire Protection Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the past, HSE’s Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) has studied the performance of a variety of passive fire protection (PFP) materials in protecting a part-filled LPG tank subjected to hydrocarbon pool fire engulfment. However, this is only one potential fire incident scenario that can threaten a process vessel; another is a jet fire, perhaps resulting from an ignited release from a leaking flange or failed pipework. Flashing liquid propane jet-fire tests on PFP protected propane tanks are described together with sonic propane vapour jet-fire tests on PFP protected steel boxes. Comparisons between the two types of jet fire and with the hydrocarbon pool fire engulfment test are made.
