Fire protection of LPG tanks with thin sublimation and intumescent coatings

The results of two full scale fire engulfment tests on a 3.6 m super(3)- LPG tank protected with a sublimation coating (THERMOLAG440) and on a 4.85 m super(3)-LPG tank protected with an intumescent coating (CHARTEK III) are presented. The tests have demonstrated a sufficient vessel safety during 90...

Zusammenfassung:The results of two full scale fire engulfment tests on a 3.6 m super(3)- LPG tank protected with a sublimation coating (THERMOLAG440) and on a 4.85 m super(3)-LPG tank protected with an intumescent coating (CHARTEK III) are presented. The tests have demonstrated a sufficient vessel safety during 90 minutes of full fire engulfment. Additional furnace tests on CHARTEK III-coated steel plates have been carried out to optimize the necessary coating thickness.
