ABSTRACT:
Steel pipe, fittings, joints and valves, lined with PTFE resin are rendered fire-safe for in excess of one hour exposure to open flames by jacketing the components with an enclosure formed from fibrous refractory material. The enclosures are configured and dimensioned to contain a substantially fixed air volume within a predetermined air gap space between the exterior of the component and the interior of the jacket. As an example, high-alumina ceramic fiber mixed with a suitable binder is vacuum formed and then surface coated with an epoxy enamel to produce segments which can be joined around the components to produce satisfactory enclosures. The described segments are reinforced with a metallic skeletal structure which is located so as to permit sizing of openings in the field to accommodate alternative modes of installation.
