Abstract: The rapidly growing acceptance of fire resistant coatings for thermal protection of structural steels, flammable product storage tanks, pressure vessel support structures, and other applications has placed this unique fireproofing concept in an approved position for extensive usage in the area of exposure control for structures that could be exposed to direct flames impingement, free burning plus pressure torching conditions, and/or prolonged periods of high intensity radiant heat fluxes. The inherent reliability and low maintenance costs for this passive concept of exposure protection, together with the low performance level of conventional water cooling systems under flame engulfment and/or high pressure impinging or torching-type fire conditions, have also given these fireproofing coatings a very high cost-effective, or cost-benefit, characteristic for high heat intensity applications. These type coalings are also finding applications where simultaneous low temperature (cryogenic liquid impinging conditions) and high temperature (flames contact conditions) protection is required for the structural steels in l.PG. LNG. and SNG facilities.
