Circuit integrity

Circuit integrity is achieved via passive fire protection means, which are subject to listing and approval use and compliance.

For Petrochemical Industries, Offshore/ Onshore, API 2218 standards are referred as the fireproofing guidelines to address hydrocarbon fires which are more severe than the cellulosic fire profiles used in DIN 4102 and BS 476 part 20 test standards for buildings.

The added weight of the wrap systems must be included in static and seismic calculations.

Regular maintenance must be considered, as cladding and wraps are not load-bearing and can be damaged during normal building or facility operations.

The entire circuit must be completely protected including termination points and junction boxes.
