API RP 2218, 3rd Edition, July 2013 - Fireproofing Practices in Petroleum and Petrochemical Processing Plants
This RP identifies fireproofing needs for petroleum and petrochemical plants specifically focusing on property loss protection for pool fires scenarios in on-shore processing plants.
Only passive fireproofing systems are within the scope of this recommended practice. The following are outside the scope of this RP; however this RP contains information which may be useful in these applications:
— fireproofing for LPG storage vessels (see API 2510 and API 2510A);
— fireproofing for personnel protection;
— fireproofing for buildings.
