H0 fire barriers
H0 fire barriers
(OP)
Does anyone know whether is is possible to claim credit for a solid deck as an H0 fire barrier between two process areas on an offshore gas production platform. Supporting steelwork has been PFP'd. I don't want to protect the plate if possible. Any references or justifications would be helpful.
Apologies if this is not the appropriate forum.

RE: H0 fire barriers
They may have reference to other Codes where definition of the various H-type firewalls are specified. Look particularly in the "technical safety" standard S-001 or some of the structural standards. I think you don't have to protect it further, as a H0 wall must only protect during immediate evacuation, whereas a H60 and H120 wall have to maintain protection in 60 and 120 minutes, however you have to check this in the codes. (I'm not an expert on this)
