A-30 Refractory Deck
Materials: A-30 refractory decks typically consist of steel or other structural materials combined with layers of fire-resistant insulation. The insulation may include mineral wool, ceramics, or other refractory materials.
Installation: These decks are installed in areas requiring higher fire resistance, such as engine rooms, machinery spaces, and areas where fire hazards are present.
Overview
Details:
A-30 refractory deck is part of a marine vessel's fire protection system, designed to resist fire and prevent its spread.
Fire Resistance: The "A-30" classification indicates that the deck can withstand fire for 30 minutes without allowing flames, smoke, or excessive heat to pass through.
Compliance: The A-30 rating is defined by standards from organizations like SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) and class societies, ensuring that it meets international marine safety requirements.
Purpose: The A-30 deck is designed to protect critical compartments in the event of a fire, allowing time for evacuation or firefighting measures.
