This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides practical recommendations for creation of fire retardant materials with an increased service life. The enhanced fire resistance seen in these materials is based on the regularities of the chemical and physicochemical interaction of the components of intumescent composition in the process of thermolytic synthesis of heat-insulating char-foamed layers. The aim of fire protection of various objects with intumescent materials is to create a heat-insulating charred layer on the surface of structural elements; this layer can withstand high temperatures and mechanical damage which are typical during fires. The authors describe the contribution of basic components (melamine, pentaerythritol, ammonium polyphosphate), additional components (chlorinated paraffin, urea, cellulose, carbon nano additives, etc.) and polymer binders of intumescent compositions on the process of charring. The technological aspects of manufacturing, application and operation of fire retardant intumescent compositions, which can be useful for organizations that produce and use fire retardant materials, are also described.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intumescent Coating and Fire Protection of Steel Structures establishes the thermo insulation characteristics of intumescent coating under various fire and hydrothermal aging circumstances and shows how to predict the temperature elevation of steel structures protected with intumescent coatings in fires for avoiding structural damage. Introduced are the features and applications of intumescent coatings for protecting steel structures against fire. The constant effective thermal conductivity is defined and employed to simplify the quantification for the thermo-resistance of intumescent coatings. An experimental investigation into the hydrothermal aging effects on insulative properties of intumescent coatings is presented, as well as the influence of topcoat on insulation and aging of intumescent coatings. Also described is a practical method for calculating the temperature of the protected steel structures with intumescent coatings in order to evaluate the fire safety of a structure. The book is aimed at fire and structural engineers, as well as researchers and students concerned with the protection of steel structures.

Download or read book A Laboratory Scale Study of Intumescent Coatings for Protection of Building Structure Members from Fires written by Zachary S Fry and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intumescent coatings have long been used as effective methods for long-term passive fire protection for buildings. However, much is still unknown about these coatings making it that large scale testing of fully coated steel beams necessary for coating certification. If a coating fails the certification test this comes at a large monetary cost with nothing gained. Thus, a laboratory-scale test that can help predict if a coating will pass the large scale test was studied. There were two main goals: to design and build an apparatus to collect many different types of data all at once from a single test and to perform tests on different samples to gain a better understanding of intumescent coatings. To perform the study, an apparatus was built that was able to maintain a constant heat flux to a samples surface even as the surface location changed. Three different coatings were tested while varying different parameters such as applied heat flux, coating thickness, and plate thickness, while measuring mass loss, expansion, temperature, and heat flux through the samples. By using the tests a better understanding of how the intumescents react to varying heat fluxes was able to be seen along with different trends and behavior patterns of different coatings.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intumescent coating is becoming popular in building constructions as a passive fire protection product. It expands and forms a porous thermal protective char layer when exposed to a fire and can effectively protect building steel structures from high temperature. A large number of studies about intumescent coatings have been conducted, particularly in the following fields: (1) chemical formulation, which focuses on the choices of ingredients; i.e., a carbon source, an acid source and a blowing agent, to form a proper combination; and (2) numerical models, which aim to simulate the chemical-reaction and heat-transfer processes during the fire protection period. To develop a new formulation and additives or to validate the numerical models, the characterization of the char formation is of essential importance. However, a universal characterization method has not yet been fully developed for diagnosing the internal char-forming processes, the morphological structure of the char formed, and the real-time interior thermal properties during the fire protection period. This deficiency stems mainly from technical difficulties in obtaining structure character from the expanded char without damage and measuring a precise heat transfer history from a high temperature (up to 600 °C ) shape changing porous media.In this study, a laboratory-scale mass-loss cone heating device is used to impose three incident radiant heat fluxes (25, 50, and 75 kW/m2) on different types of intumescent coatings (water-based and epoxy-based). The morphological characteristics of the expanded and charred intumescent coatings have been studied using a computer tomography (CT)-based analysis method. Image processing techniques are applied to the CT-scanned data to generate 3D reconstructed images and to measure structure properties using ImageJ software. Thermal insulating performance (apparent thermal conductivity and heat blocking efficiency) of the expanding char layer is determined in situ based on real-time measurements of the temperature distribution in the char layer and the heat flux transmitted through the char layer. The Dynamic Plane Source (DPS) method is also employed to measure the thermal conductivity of the post-exposure char as a verification method of the in-situ measurements.The present structure and thermal characterization method is useful to assist in new formulation developments and to advance numerical modeling.

Download or read book New Technologies in Protective Coatings written by Carlos Giudice and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials are at the center of all technological advances; it is evident in considering the spectacular progress that has been made in fields as diverse as engineering, medicine, biology, etc. Materials science and technology must develop researches allowing the generation of new methods of protection to reduce fundamentally the losses of human life as well as the economic ones. The former are impossible of quantifying, while the latter are highly significant; thus, only those derived from corrosive processes in their different forms reach, in technologically developed countries, about 4% of the Gross National Product (GNP), while those derived from fire action range from 0.5 to 1.0% of the mentioned GNP. The book, in the different chapters, displays original systems of superficial protection and of low environmental impact to minimize the losses by corrosion and the fire action.

Download or read book Fire Hazard and Fire Resistance of Wooden Structures written by Sivenkov Andrey Borisovich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses fire hazard and fire resistance in wooden structures with a long duration of operation. Aside from its increasing importance for modern architecture, wood has been the most important building material in the past. It has a distinct aesthetic, high mechanical strength, and resistance against many environmental changes. These properties are evident in structures like the still standing Grinstead Chuch, which has been built in 1045. Readers will however learn about the decreasing fire resistance in wooden buildings with a long service live. Considering the cultural value of medieval wood buildings, this topic becomes increasingly relevant. The chapters discuss the mechanical, physico-chemical and thermophysical properties of wooden structures over different lifespans. Many factors contributing to the changing fire resistance in the ageing process of wooden structures, are explained. This book is a valuable resource for students, teachers and scientists in the areas of wood science, fire research and forestry.
