Case Study of Fire-Resistant Cable Trays
Based on the engineering practice of an oil storage company, this study proposes a modification scheme that entails spraying fire-retardant coatings on the outer surface of a cable tray to delay the failure times of the cables in the tray. What Happened: On 6 January 2013, a fire erupted in the Huidong Constellation Building (Jinan, China). Through these tests the aim was to learn more about thermal conductivity properties in fire conditions and what effects it would have on the tray itself and how long the installed cable could maintain circuit integrity. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or pri-vate research centers.
