materials

A60 fireproof side scuttle are constructed of refractory materials and usually include the following main parts:

• Fire-resistant Glass: Windows on side scuttle are usually made of specially designed fire-resistant glass to ensure structural integrity and stop the spread of flames in the event of a fire.

• Metal Frames: The frames of portholes are usually made of refractory metals, such as steel or aluminum, to ensure that the overall porthole is fire-resistant.

• Sealing Materials: The installation of side scuttle should use refractory sealing materials to prevent fire heat and smoke from spreading through the gaps in the side scuttle.

Fire resistance

The fire resistance of A60 fireproof side scuttle is one of its most important features. According to IMO regulations, Class A60 side scuttle must be able to withstand more than 60 minutes of flame exposure during standard fire tests to resist the spread of flame and heat. This fire resistance can effectively prevent the spread of fire and provide a window of time for crew and passengers to escape.

Watertightness

In addition to fire resistance and safety properties, side scuttle must also be well watertight to prevent seawater from entering the interior of the ship. This is especially important because the side scuttle are located on the side walls of the ship, directly facing the water. To ensure watertightness, side scuttle are usually designed with the following measures:

• Water-resistant Design: The structural design of side scuttle usually takes into account the pressure of the Water to ensure that they remain watertight in harsh sea conditions.

• Testing and Certification: side scuttle need to pass relevant watertightness tests and be certified according to international standards to ensure that they effectively prevent water infiltration in actual use.

Installation methods

The way in which side scuttle are installed usually depends on the design of the ship and the type of side scuttle. In general, side scuttle can be installed in the following ways:

• Welding: The metal frame of the porthole can be welded to the hull, and this installation is usually suitable for larger portholes and ships.

• Bolted Fixing: The frame of the porthole can be bolted or bolted to the hull, and this installation is suitable for smaller portholes and portholes that require frequent maintenance or replacement.

• Adhesive Fixing: The mounting edges of portholes can be fixed to the hull using special sealants. This installation provides better water tightness, but the durability and adhesion of the glue must be ensured.

The installation of portholes usually needs to be carried out by professional ship construction engineers or technicians, and must be carried out in strict accordance with the relevant codes and standards to ensure the quality of the installation and the performance of the portholes.

To sum up, in addition to fire resistance and safety properties, portholes must also be well watertight and need to be properly installed to ensure their stability and durability in the operation of the ship.

Applications

A60 fireproof side scuttle are typically installed in cabins, living areas, corridors and other areas of the ship where natural light and ventilation are required. They play an important role in the design and construction of ships, not only providing a comfortable working and living environment for the crew, but also providing the necessary safety guarantee for the ship.

To sum up, A60 fireproof side scuttle play an important role in the ship, and their fire-resistant performance and safety performance ensure the safe operation of the ship and the safety of passengers in the case of fire or other emergencies.
