Fire Endurance Rating for insulated piping
Fire Endurance Rating for insulated piping
(OP)
Hi folks,
I am trying to figure out how to determine the fire endurance rating of an insulated pipe. Anybody have any advice on how to go about doing this? A quick methodology, or a good reference to the topic would be appreciated.
Will this be specific to each insulation manufacturer, or will it be the same for any insulation produced to a particular ASTM standard?
Really don't know too much on the topic, so any assistance is appreciated.

RE: Fire Endurance Rating for insulated piping
The conclusion of all the test work was that expanded Calcium Silicate Clam Shell pipe covering without SS tie wire and SS covering had essentially no fire rating.
Pabco manufacturer of Super Fire Temp block insulation used for fireproofing structural steel in place of Asbestos has a lot of information on the subject.
