Block Fire insulation – fire protection insurance
Insulation that provides protection to the houses and it has greater ability towards the blockage of the fire. This block fire insulation has come up with a new shield that provides a 1-inch thick insulation on one side of steel bulkheads and on both sides of the non-steel bulkheads and this is extended to 12-inches beyond the area that is intended to be protected by the insulation. If this is installed in steel surfaces then steel studs are to be replaced by bimetallic studs.
Aluminum structure
With the addition of strong aluminum structure, this fire insulation is to be provided on both sides of all-primary structural boundaries with the inclusion of internal surfaces aluminum deckhouse sides and ends. This has both sides of internal aluminum structural transverse and longitudinal bulkheads. The function of these bulkheads is to act as stanchions under web frames. The stiffener and both sides of bulkhead plating with each side of the stiffener is to be insulated vertically. Now in addition to this the longitudinal bulk head, which is to be insulated horizontally for a distance of 12-inches down from the overhead. These stanchions are to be insulated and it is to be applied to flat plate surfaces and covers beams, stiffeners, webs and girders. The insulation on the vertical surfaces are to be applied 6-inches above the deck and is to be extended to the overhead, except block fire insulation installed on boundaries of magazines are to be applied from deck to overhead.
Fire block test
The block fire insulation test was undertaken to compare the fire stalking abilities of dry applied and moist spray applied cellulose insulation and spruce-pine-fir wood blocking. The block fire insulation materials required for this evaluation included two layers of lumber, dry and moist spray applied cellulose insulation. The recorded temperatures for the wall section using cellulose insulation like a block fire insulation material remains below. The entire test, the temperatures recorded for he wall section using the wire lumber fire blocking materials.
Fire resistant structural are classified on the basis of the block fire insulation
1. Load bearing
2. Integrity
3. Insulation
Due to the spread of fire and smoke this has to be restricted in the building areas. The building must be able to escape or to be rescued in the event of fire. Mainly the fire safety is to be met in accordance to the fire ratings and its values.
