  • Publication number: 20130092251
    Abstract: A procedure is described for extending the period of time during which a line leg (e.g., a pipeline) made of a material with a coefficient of thermal conductivity ?R, in a fireproofing installation remains below a critical temperature and hence for increasing the T-rating value according to ASTM E814 (UL1479). A line leg is wrapped with a mesh, that includes a non-flammable material with a coefficient of thermal conductivity ?G, directly adjacent to the bulkheading of a feedthrough opening in a component on both sides for wall feedthroughs and/or above the feedthrough opening for ceiling feedthroughs, subject to the condition that the coefficient of thermal conductivity ?G is greater than the coefficient of thermal conductivity ?G. The heat removal from a line leg can be supported easily and, in particular, applied on-site such that even line legs with good thermal conductivity can achieve a high T-rating value in the fire test.

  • Publication number: 20130095275
    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.

  • Publication number: 20130071586
    Abstract: A device is described for the application of foaming materials in an opening of a building part. The device includes a body that accepts a foaming material. The body can be made from a deformable material and perhaps has an insert opening for the foaming material. The deformable material is deformable such that the deformable material does not hinder a foaming of the foaming material, but limits a foaming volume and a direction of foaming. This way a gap can easily be closed between an opening of a building part and a fire-prevention compartment in a fire and smoke-gas tight fashion.

  • Publication number: 20120304979
    Abstract: In order to produce a line element lead-through that is resistant to fire and flue gas for simple installation into one or more paneled drywalls, whereby the line element lead-through can be used in a matching component opening and is also sealed against fire and flue gas when empty, a line element lead-through is suggested with a molded element closed on at least one side of an elastically deformable intumescent material as a sleeve, especially formed as a truncated cone or a cylinder, with the criterion that the opening cross section of the sleeve corresponds to maximum 60% of the cross section of the component pass-through. Embedded within the molded element is a support structure.

  • Publication number: 20060170126
    Abstract: The method of producing an organically bound, flexible fire-protection panel with a low density, inorganic filler (12) includes introducing a predetermined amount of a foamable organic binder matrix (5) into a mold (1), which is formed as a panel mold, and distributing the organic binder matrix (5) uniformly over the bottom (2) of the mold (1). Subsequently, the mold (1) is filled completely with an adequate amount of the inorganic filler (12), and as the mold (1) is being closed with a lid (16), the volume of the interior of the mold (1) is reduced and the inorganic filler (12) is pressed into the organic binder matrix (5), and then the organic binder matrix (5) is foamed.
