EFFECTIVE FIRE SEALING FOR PLASTIC PIPES

By Anonymous

The benefits of low weight and cost means the marine industry is increasing the use of plastic pipes for water, compressed air and hydraulic services. The downside of plastic is a threat of fire spread where services pass through bulkheads and decks. Roxtec, the acknowledged leader in the supply of cable and pipe transit systems, have developed a new system for the safe sealing of plastic pipes. Their plastic pipe seal (PPS) is suitable for plastic and PVC pipes from 16 mm to 110 mm diameter.
    The new PPS benefits from the multidiameter technology that is used throughout Roxtec's cable and pipe transit family. The multi-layer transit seal, with peel off layers, is easily customised to be an ideal fitting for the pipe diameter. The round seals are fitted to a sleeve which is welded into the fire barrier. The pipe passes through the sleeve, secured by round seals at either end. In the centre of the sleeve an intumescent material is inserted around the pipe. In the event of a fire, a pipe failure will cause hot gas to enter the inner chamber and activate the intumescent material. This swells to fill the cavity, seal the pipe and preserve the integrity of the fire barrier.
    The PPS system will appeal to boat builders and repairers because it is based on a familiar and proven technology that is simple to install and totally maintenance free. The PPS has been tested and approved to withstand four bar pressure for water and gas. It has also been subjected to a 60 minute fire integrity test in bulkheads and decks made from aluminium and steel.
    Roxtec produce a complete range of entry seals for cable and pipe penetrations. The unique multidiameter technology and adaptability allows for present and future needs. The entry seals protect against dust, water, fire, gas, pressure, vibration and electromagnetic interference. Roxtec has expertise in marine and offshore, telecom and industrial applications. A complete technical service is provided to designers, engineers and installers to enable the correct product to be specified.
