Passive Fireproofing System for Pipelines

Abstract

A lining and a related method for extending the period during which a line leg, such as a pipeline in a fireproofing installation, remains below a critical temperature are described. The lining includes, for example, a binding agent, endothermically degradable fillers and/or other fillers, if applicable. The method includes a wrapped line leg with the lining on both sides for wall feedthroughs and/or above the feedthrough opening for ceiling feedthroughs directly after the bulkheading of a feedthrough opening in a fireproofing installation. The heat removal from or the cooling of a line leg can be supported easily and applied on-site in such a way that even line legs with good thermal conductivity can achieve a high T-rating value in the fire test.
