Structural fireproofing of ships means, taking into account different types of ships and foreseeable fires, the use of steel or equivalent materials for the hull structure, and the use of non-combustible materials to separate the hull into separate spaces, preventing the propagation of smoke, flames and heat for a certain period of time, thus preventing the spread of the fire to other compartments at the initial stages of the fire, and also minimizing the damage caused by the fire in case of a fire that is difficult to be controlled.
Overview
Reason:
Cargo ships in the construction process, the hull, deck, surrounding bulkheads, ceilings and other ancillary equipment, are made of steel with high heat conduction coefficient, the initial fire is mainly spread by heat convection, the development of the fire is particularly large when the temperature rises very quickly, the heat is spread by heat radiation, and the rate of propagation is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature and does not require any contact or medium, if there is an opening or the bulkhead is not well insulated, the fire will quickly spread to other compartments. If there are openings or if the bulkheads are not well insulated, the fire will quickly spread to other compartments. The resultant damage to the ship, cargo and casualties are incalculable.
Ship structure fire prevention is to take these factors into consideration, in the design and construction of the ship, in the structure of the bulkhead laying heat-resistant materials, decks covered with heat-resistant dressings, and at the same time, the doors, windows and penetrations of various areas of heat insulation treatment, once a fire occurs, the fire can be controlled in the area of the fire, so as not to let the fire quickly spread to other places, to the personnel to escape and extinguish the fire to fight for valuable time. This will ensure the safety of the ship's crew fundamentally.
