Comprehensive assessment of durability of fireproof materials under gas-pumping equipment operation conditions

In view of the fact that for many fire-resistant (fireproof) substances and materials there is no reliable information on how to preserve the fire-resisting properties of coats in the process of use of the object until appearance of fire, performance of express climate tests is recommended for prior assessment of the properties of the coats. The results of comprehensive tests of fire-resistant materials, which simulate the temperature-humidity conditions of preservation and use of coats as a component of the structure, have been examined, taking account of fire safety requirements for the developed gas pumping units.
