Having discussed tlie fundamental cliaracteristics of fires in general and tlie different types of fire, we now e.xamine more closely fire accidents tliat occur in process pkuits. Specifically, we review plant fire classifications, sources, causes, damage potentials, and detection and protection systems. 

A common regulatory system, prescribing identical fire classifications based on unified test specifications, for materials in the same usage, cannot be obtained by the end of 1992. It is a much longer term objective. 

Each fire hazard must be fully analyzed, and then the fire-resistant mastic is formulated accordingly. Important points which must be considered are the fire classification, the nature of the substrate, the conditions surrounding the fire hazard, and other protective properties it must possess in order that its fire-resistant properties will not be destroyed by chemical factors such as water or weathering, or by physical factors before or during the fire. In some instances, an extra demand is placed on the formulator, that the coating should not be removed by the pressure of the water used in extinguishing the fire.

Countless applications require that the polymers used must exhibit ever higher levels of fire safety. The construction industry is a key one whereby all industrialised countries have their own complex system of fire tests and fire classifications. This is the main reason that building products still have to be tested and approved in each and every one. 

The fire classification system is designed to simplify the selection of firefighting techniques and equipment.

Extinguishing a fire in a warehouse can be accomplished by fixed sprinkler systems, fire suppressant systems, or fire extinguishers. The chart in Table 5-1 identifies the fire classifications as well as means of extinguishing. 

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has classified five general t3rpes of fires, based on the combustible materials involved and the kind of extinguisher needed to put them out. The five fire classifications are A, B, C, D, and K. The five are as follows ...
