A question regarding the skirt base
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: Hello everyone! Recently, while checking some equipment ordered, I noticed that there are many small nuts welded to the inner and outer walls of the skirt of certain towers. I’m not sure what purpose they serve; I would appreciate your guidance on this matter. Thank you!
The skirt of the tower, which is used to secure the fireproof layer, is covered with a fireproof layer on the outside; nuts are used to fix this fireproof layer in place
Is that also used for a fixed fireproof layer?
Generally, it is fixed for heat insulation and fire protection. Some have them on both the inside and outside, as they need to cover the lower end cap.
It is used for the insulation or fireproofing layer of the fixed skirt and lower head, generally on the inner and outer sides of the skirt; the specific height is determined based on the thickness of the insulation layer and the geometric dimensions of the head.
Second floor, right. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Used to fix the fireproof layer, available on both the inside and outside. However, some equipment can also achieve fire protection by having fire-retardant coatings applied directly to their pedestals.
Our factory has done this before; square nuts are used for applying the insulation layer!
For fixed fire protection, some use nuts while others require insulation screws; they’re not exactly the same
What we’re looking at is all for insulation layers.
