Modern fire loads part 3: Viable alternatives to obsolete cellulosic test standards
If a built environment full of hotter-burning synthetics means that legacy cellulosic fire test standards are obsolete, then what should replace them? In the third and final part of this series, we explore potential complications that could arise from relying on outdated tests, and suggest a handful of alternative tests better-suited for modern fire loads.
Multi-hazard fire protection at Canada’s largest LNG export terminal
A massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) processing facility under construction in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada, will be that nation's largest LNG export station once complete in 2025. Read how versatile Pyrocrete 341 provides multi-hazard fire, explosion, and cryogenic spill protection for the facility's 3,000+ structural steel support stools.
Bridge corrosion protection: One mainstay system, two vastly different scenarios
Two recent infrastructure projects—one in Newark, New Jersey and the other in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—illustrate the benefits of specifying a reliable and familiar bridge corrosion protection system.
Modern fire loads part 2: These 4 disasters prove cellulosic standards are obsolete
Catastrophic fire incidents in the UK, Norway, and South Korea demonstrate that legacy thermal response testing methods, such as cellulosic fire curves, are insufficient against today’s modern fire loads.
Protecting NASA's new ML-2 launcher is key to future Artemis moon missions
To protect its new ML-2 launcher from Florida's humid coastal environment, NASA turned to corrosion protection technology it knows very well. Read how the Carbozinc/Armorlast system fits into ambitious Artemis moon missions.
