Performance of rigid cellular plastics in fire tests for industrial insulation
Large scale gasoline fire tests, simulating ASTM E 119, provided conditions which duplicate accidental fire exposure of foam insulated piping and vessels; results indicate deficiency in small scale tests, such as ASTM D 1692, attributed to insufficiently severe fire exposure and unrealistic emphasis on surface flame spread; of those tested, only systems employing vegetable cork and cellular polystyrene presented significant fire hazard, but most satisfactory fire protection was provided by calcium silicate, magnesia, diatomaceous earth, asbestos fiber/perlite compositions installed in two layers with staggered joint construction.
