Abstract
According to some embodiments, a fireproofing system for protecting an elongate member, comprising at least one inner layer configured to at least partially wrap around itself to form an inner passage, the at least one inner layer configured to generally resist heat, and an outer shell or member defining an interior opening, wherein the first layer is configured to be positioned within the interior opening of the outer shell or outer member, wherein an elongate member is configured to pass through the inner passage.
Claims36
A fireproofing system for protecting an elongate member, comprising:
- at least one inner layer configured to at least partially wrap around itself to form an inner passage, the at least one inner layer configured to generally resist heat;
- an outer shell or member defining an interior opening, wherein the first layer is configured to be positioned within the interior opening of the outer shell or outer member;
- wherein an elongate member is configured to pass through the inner passage;
- wherein the at least one inner layer comprises at least one of a ceramic material and another material configured to be relatively heat resistant, wherein the inner layer comprises at least one of a ceramic wool, a ceramic foam and a ceramic fabric;
- wherein the another material comprises a silica or silicon-based material;
- and
- wherein the outer shell or member is configured to resist heat up to 2000 degrees F.;
- and
- at least one layer of felt, wherein the layer of felt is positioned along an interior of the at least one inner layer;
- wherein a R-value of the at least one inner layer is greater than 50.

A fireproofing system for protecting an member or a surface, comprising:
- at least one inner layer configured to at least partially cover a member or a surface, the at least one inner layer configured to generally resist heat;
- and
- an outer shell or member defining an interior region, wherein the first layer is configured to be positioned within the interior region of the outer shell or outer member;
- wherein system is configured to protect a member or a surface of a structure.
A method of fireproofing a member or a surface, comprising:
- providing at least one inner layer along or around a member or a surface, the at least one inner layer configured to generally resist heat;
- and
- providing an outer shell or member around the outside of the at least one inner layer;
- wherein system is configured to protect a member or a surface of a structure against heat and/or fire.
