PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION FOR ALUMINUM STRUCTURES

This paper describes a small scale fire endurance test program to screen candidate thermal insulation systems for passive fire protection of aluminum structures. An incombustible thermal insulation system tested 1-3/4 inch thickness provided the same degree of fire protection as three inches of a more conventional insulation, mineral wool, at a savings in insulation weight of over sixty percent.
