Pitt-Char® XP Fire Test Results
Pitt-Char XP provides up to 2 hours protection against jet fire impingement.
Pitt-Char Coatings have been fire tested at more than 12 fire testing facilities around the world. Our products have received approvals and certificates from Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. (USA and Canada), Det Norske Veritas (Norway), Lloyd's Registry of Shipping (UK), GASAFE (France), and from several customers based on their own in-house fire testing. Testing has covered a range of heat fluxes including jet fire impingement testing on various steel section geometries and sizes. A sampling of fire test results are listed in the following table. For additional test information, including actual explosion testing up to 1.8 bar overpressures, consult your local Pitt-Char XP Coating Technical Sales Representative.
