Methods for determining the fire resistance of cable penetrations in transit cable lines and electrical wiring in ship compartments

Author: A.A. Varlamkin

Abstract

The article provides the analysis of normative technical documentation on the methodology determining the fire resistance of cable penetrations in ship structures, which has been conducted with correspondence given between the methods of determining the fire resistance limits for cable penetrations in buildings and structures in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law "Technical regulations for fire safety requirements" and those of International code for application of fire test procedures, 2010 (2010 FTP code). The possibility of determining the fire resistance limits of the cable penetrations in ship structures using the numerical simulation of fire test procedures in ship structures taking into account the brands of cables and their location in the stopping, in accordance with the design documentation, has been discussed, together with the concept of mandatory changes in the developed mathematical model for the confirmation of the fire safety compliance of cable penetrations used in buildings and structures as to the thermal conditions when carrying out the tests in accordance with 2010 FTP Code. The necessity of conducting comparative tests aiming at the approbation of the proposed numerical simulation has been also considered.

Keywords: structure, ship, cable, compartment, fire, fire hazard factors.
