The fire resistance of aluminum and steel hatch covers was compared in full-scale fire tests. The tests were conducted on the deck of T/V A.E. WATTS at the U.S. Coast Guard Fire and Safety Test Detachment, Mobile, Alabama. Five hatch covers were placed in a 1000 square foot (90 sq m) fire which burned for 30 minutes. Two of these were steel and the other three were aluminum. Flame temperatures reached 1922 F (1050C) during the test. The aluminum hatch covers had melted within 17 minutes of igniting the fire while the steel covers remained intact throughout. (Author)
