How to use the PV software to calculate the fire protection layer in a vertical vessel?
When designing fire protection coatings and carrying out spraying operations, the thickness of the coating required to achieve a certain fire resistance rating, as determined through standard tests, is used to determine the requirements for steel components of different specifications so that they can attain the same level of fire resistance
1. Your question isn’t clear enough. 2. PV is a software for calculating the strength of pressure vessels; if your goal is to determine the thickness of the fire-resistant layer, then this is not within its scope of functionality, and PV does not calculate the thickness of such layers either. 3. If the thickness of the fire insulation layer of the equipment is given, it’s somewhat difficult to determine its impact on the equipment. It can be considered. It’s just a matter of weight; just add it. But. 4. Generally, the fireproofing layer is installed only after the equipment has been lifted into place, in which case it makes no sense. The insulation layer is applied before the equipment is lifted into place, so its weight must be taken into account.
