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 ...

Risk-Based Passive Fire-Protection Optimization
Oil and Gas Facilities, 2014Summary Passive fire protection (PFP) has been used in the oil and gas industry for many years as a method to avoid/delay global collapse of offshore installations. However, location of PFP has normally been based on simplistic assumptions, standards, guidance, and methods that do not always consider the real response of the structure to

Specifics of Passive Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants
Occupational Safety in Industry, 2023Passive fire protection systems (elements) are the most preferred for use to ensure nuclear and radiation safety of the nuclear power plants in case of internal and external fires. The main passive fire protection systems (elements) of the nuclear power plants include: fire-resistant structures (walls, ceilings, columns, screens, etc.); fire-resistant ...

Passive fire protection of concrete structures
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2008Passive fire protection of concrete structures is chiefly aimed at combating explosive thermal spalling, which relies on two underlying mechanisms: (a) the build-up of pore pressures and (b) the development of thermal stresses. The former could be alleviated, or eliminated, by the use of polypropylene (PP) fibres in the mix.

Fire resistance of passive fire protection coatings after long-term weathering
Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2010Passive fire protection (PFP) systems are widely used by the oil, gas and chemical industries to protect offshore and onshore facilities against the effects of fire. However, there are concerns that the performance of PFP systems in a fire may have deteriorated because of weathering and/or that corrosion of the protected item may be taking place ...

Passive Fire Protection Considerations for Oil Sands Applications
CORROSION 2020, 2020Abstract Oil sands projects have unique features due to process conditions and environmental factors. Process safety risks such as fire hazards are typically mitigated through application of Passive Fire Protection (PFP). Cementitious and intumescent PFP types are commonly used to protect plant structures.

Fires, statistics, ignition sources, and passive fire protection measures
Journal of Fire Sciences, 2016Although the number of fires continuously decreases, there are still too many fatalities. A comprehensive review of fire statistics shows upholstered furniture to cause most fire deaths, followed by electrical distribution fires. In transportation, car and bus fires are a major problem.
