What are the common considerations in steel structure plant design?

In the design of a steel structure plant, the selection of fireproof coating is very important because it is directly related to the fire safety of the plant. Here are some factors to consider when choosing fireproof coating:

Fire Resistance Limit: According to the fire resistance level and fire protection requirements of the plant, select a fireproof coating with a corresponding fire resistance limit. The fire resistance limit refers to the fire resistance time of the coating under standard fire conditions, usually in hours.

Types of coatings: Fireproof coatings are mainly divided into three types: thin, thick, and ultra-thin. The thin-type fireproof coating is suitable for smaller steel components, the thick-type fireproof coating is suitable for larger steel components, while the ultra-thin-type fireproof coating is suitable for occasions requiring high decorative effects.

Performance requirements: fireproof coating should have good fire resistance, bonding strength, crack resistance, and weathering performance. In addition, the construction performance and environmental performance of the coating should also be considered.

Brand and quality: Choose well-known brands and reliable quality fireproof coatings to ensure that the quality and performance of coatings meet the standard requirements.

Economy: Under the premise of meeting fire protection requirements, the economy of the coating should be considered and cost-effective products should be selected.

In conclusion, when choosing a fireproof coating, it is necessary to consider the actual situation of the plant, fire prevention requirements, coating performance, economy, and other factors. It is recommended to consult professional fire safety consultants or coating suppliers before selecting fireproof coatings to ensure that the selected coatings meet the relevant standards and requirements to safeguard the fire safety of the plant.
