A-60 Refractory Deck
The A-60 refractory deck is designed for fire protection in marine applications. It is classified under the "A" class fire protection system, meaning it can prevent the passage of smoke and flames for a specified period. The "60" indicates that the deck can withstand fire for at least 60 minutes.
Overview
Technical Details:
Fire Resistance: Provides a minimum of 60 minutes fire resistance according to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations.
Material Composition: Constructed using steel with fireproof insulation materials, including mineral wool or other non-combustible substances.
Thermal Insulation: Maintains an average temperature rise on the non-fire-exposed side to under 140°C, and not more than 180°C at any point.
Thickness: Typically includes several layers of insulation and structural materials, contributing to overall thickness (varies depending on design and specifications).
Applications: Commonly used in ship decks, especially in areas requiring higher fire safety, such as engine rooms, cargo holds, or crew accommodation areas.
