Passive fire protection of wood using some bio-derived fire retardants
Fire Safety Journal, 2021Abstract In the present paper, we report on some preliminary findings relating to the passive fire protection efficiencies of some bio-inspired substrates, which included: starch, chitosan, rice bran and fish gelatin. With a view to enhancing the passive fire protection attributes of the substrates, we prepared formulations of them with both ...

Performance Assessment of Passive Fire Protection Materials
Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2011The performance of fireproofing materials in providing effective protection from fire strongly depends on the thermophysical properties and on the behavior of the material during fire exposure. Not only active insulators but also nonactive coatings may undergo significant changes in their structure and properties when exposed to high temperatures.

Passive fire protection for major transformers
3D Africon Conference. Africon '92 Proceedings (Cat. No.92CH3215), 2003Eskom's passive fire protection philosophy for major transformers is described. The term "major" refers to the size of the transformer in terms of its oil capacity. The passive fire protection philosophy used for transformers can also be applied to other major oil-filled equipment located in high-voltage yards, e.g., shunt reactors and neutral earth ...

Sodium‐based fire resistant geopolymer for passive fire protection
Fire and Materials, 2014SummaryThis paper primarily deals with the examination of the performance under thermal loading of a fire resistant sodium‐based geopolymer from Ferronickel slag. In addition, the mechanical, physical and thermal properties of material and their respective variation with time were measured.

Passive Fire Protection Success
Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1991TESTS recently conducted by the Fire Research Station on behalf of the CAA to assess the effectiveness of onboard water sprinklers involved the construction of a test rig based on the fuselage of a Boeing 707 passenger aircraft. Major fire conditions were created outside and the flames were also drawn into the fuselage in a series of tests.

Upgrading Passive Fire Protection for Offshore Facilities
SPE International Conference on Health, Safety, and Environment in Oil and Gas Exploration and Production, 2008Abstract Passive Fire Protection (PFP) materials applied to offshore facilities form one of the major risk reduction measures which are used to directly protect platform personnel and the asset from the major hazard of fire. Many commonly used PFP materials on which current performance standards are based have been in service for a ...
