    1 Bridge

    At the bridge it is important to secure a

    high level of fire protection and sound

    insulation. See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 69-72 for floating floor

    See page 79-83 for sound insulation

    2 Corridors

    Corridors are part of the emergency

    escape routes on a vessel. The numbers

    of horizontal fire zones passed by the

    corridor determine the fire insulation

    class.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 69-72 for floating floor

    See page 79-83 for sound insulation

    3 Storage and tank rooms

    In the boiler room, storage rooms and

    tank rooms it is often important to insu-

    late surfaces, boilers and pipes.

    See page 65 for penetrations

    See page 73-78 for technical insulation

    4 Engine room

    The engine room contains a lot of fire

    risks so fire protection is essential. Theengine room is also source of high and

    often disturbing noise. It is often filled

    with pipes, tanks, containers and other

    equipment where technical insulation

    is required. It is important to have the

    insulation protected so oil vapour does

    not get into the insulation material.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 73-78 for technical insulation

    See page 79-83 for sound insulation

    See page 103 for surfaces

    5 Control room

    In the control room fire is to be held out

    as long as possible as this is the last

    place where all the technical equipment

    can be controlled. The sound level needs

    to be low, as engine crew has to spend a

    lot of time here. It is moreover important

    that no vapour gets to the machines and

    computers and that the room has a rea-

    sonable sound level.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions See page 79-85 for sound insulation

    See page 103 for surfaces

    6 Disco

    The discothque, cinema and bar areas

    onboard cruise ships are big sources of

    noise. It is important to have the rightsound insulation around these areas

    towards the neighbouring areas.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 69-72 for floating floor

    See page 79-83 for sound insulation

    7 Cabins

    On board a passenger ship it is essential

    to have the right insulation between the

    cabins. It is crucial to have the needed

    fire protection and it is getting more and

    more important to have a high level of

    sound and thermal insulation.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 69-72 for floating floor

    See page 79-83 for sound insulation

    8 Stairways

    The stairways are part of the emergency

    escape routes on a vessel. The numbers

    of vertical fire zones passed by the stair-

    way determine the fire insulation class.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    9 Galley

    In the galley you always have a risk of

    fire, as you have a mixture of heat and

    flammable materials. In this case it is

    also necessary to be aware of the facings

    as you have oil vapour in the air.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 73-78 for technical insulation

    See page 103 for surfaces

    10 Public area

    The public area is requiring all kinds of

    insulation, depending on the situation.

    See page 17-44 for A-constructions

    See page 64 for draught stoppers

    See page 79-85 for sound insulation

    See page 87-90 for thermal insulation

    See page 103 for surfaces

    11 Offshore

    On offshore applications you have more

    or less the same conditions as on a ship.

    Furthermore you have the risk of hydro-

    carbon fire and need to protect people

    and material from an HC fire.

    See page 45-52 for H-constructions

    See page 53-56 for Jet Fire and

    Blast Resistance

    Insulation in General

    Fig. 1. Welding of pins to the plate (bulkhead/deck).

    As first step the pins must be welded to the plate and stiffener.

    Distance between pins should not exceed 300 mm. For fire rated con-

    structions the position of pins must follow the official drawings.

    Fig.3A. Using an electrical saw to cut large amounts of Rockwool

    SeaRox products.

    When cutting large quantities of SeaRox insulation it is recommended

    to use an electrical saw. This will ensure a good and angular surface

    that is easy to tighten against the next Slabs. 2-5 mm oversize

    is recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min.150x150 mm.

    Fig. 3C. Using a shear to cut Wired Mats

    Wired Mats should be cut with a large shear. 2-5 mm oversize is

    recommended. The pieces of insulation should be min. 150x150 mm.

    Fig. 2. Painting of the plate.

    To avoid corrosion the plate can afterwards be painted with anti

    corrosion paint.

    Fig. 3B. Using a Rockwool knife to cut Rockwool SeaRox Insulation

    Rockwool SeaRox insulation can easily be cut with a Rockwool knife

    or a similar sharp knife. When the Slabs are cut in 2-5 mm oversize

    (depending on density) the optimal tension and tightness can be

    obtained when fitting the wool. The pieces of insulation should be min.

    150x150 mm

    PREPARATION

    CUTTING

    The installation of insulation material can be done in different

    ways. It is up to the insulation contractor to choose the best

    way for each application. For fire rated constructions the

    installation has to follow the official drawings according to

    the fire test. Drawings can be found on our website,

    www.rockwool-rti.com. In the following you will finda general description of the way the insulation work can be

    done:

    Fig. 6 Fixing the insulation

    Fix washers on the pins in order to secure fixing of the insulation.

    Alternative 1, fig. 4A. Insulation of stiffeners

    Depending on the construction it is recommended to start with the

    insulation of the stiffeners. First by filling out the space, behind the

    stiffener, with SeaRox insulation. The insulation should fit exactly to

    the profile structure. Afterwards insulate around the stiffener with the

    required thickness of SeaRox insulation.

    Alternative 2, fig. 4A. Insulation between stiffeners

    Depending on the construction it can be easier to start with insulation

    of the plate. Joints must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In

    connection with solutions with more than one layer of insulation, the

    joints should be staggered by min. 150 mm to ensure that no joints go

    straight through both layers.

    Alternative 1, fig. 5A. Insulation between stiffeners.

    Insulate the plate between stiffeners with SeaRox insulation. Joints

    must be tight and no air gaps must be found. In connection with solu-

    tions with more than one layer of insulation, the joints should be stag-

    gered by 150 mm to ensure that no joints go straight through

    both layers.

    Alternative 2, fig. 5A. Insulation of stiffeners

    Insulate with SeaRox insulation around the stiffener. Fill out the space

    behind the stiffener with SeaRox insulation, the insulation should fit

    exactly to the profile structure.

    Securing the product

    When installing the insulation all pieces must be fit firmly with

    minimum one pin approx 10 mm longer than the nominal thick-

    ness of the insulation. On A-constructions the material has to be

    fastened with spring washers.

    Different pins

    Steel pins are used for steel decks and bulkheads. The steel pins are

    coated with copper for corrosion protection. Stainless steel pins with

    aluminium tip are used for aluminium constructions. The pins are

    normally 3 mm in diameter and can be aquired in different lengths.

    Washers

    The spring washers used to slide over the pins for securing the insula-

    tion should be 38 mm in diameter and of corrosion protected material.

    Securing H-constructions

    On H-constructions it is some times required that the pins are approx

    40 mm longer than the nominal thickness of the insulation and are

    bent in different directions to ensure that the wool is secured.

    The additional application of wire mesh is not needed when using new

    SeaRox H-constructions because the wire mesh is already part of ourWired Mat. On H-constructions the material has to be fastened with

    spring washers.

    Covering the steel washers

    The washer can be fit with a plastic cap to cover the steel tip and to

    create a nice looking surface.

    VAPOUR BARRIER

    STORAGE AND STACKING

    Max height

    3 m

    R

    Using tape to ensure an airtight surface between two batts

    All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure

    an air tight surface. Make sure that there is no grease on the surface

    before the tape is applied. Pins and washers should be taped.

    Stacking of Rockwool SeaRox products

    The products must not be stacked in heights of more than three

    metres.

    Do not sit on the Rockwool SeaRox material

    The products must at all times during storage remain untouched

    and must not be affected by any kind og treading, sitting or anyother similar kind of exposure.

    Storage of Rockwool SeaRox insulation

    The products must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed ware-

    house facilities.

    In rooms where vapour will enter the insulation as a reason of tem-

    perature/ pressure differences, a vapour barrier is often a demand.

    When water vapour is moving from the hot room towards colder

    surfaces, it will often lead to problems with corrosion. If it is oil vapour

    this will be collected in the wool and endanger the fire properties ofthe wool.

    To close the surface on the Rockwool SeaRox products there are

    several options e.g. reinforced alu foil:

    All joints must be sealed with a tape width of 75-100 mm to ensure

    an air tight surface.

    Make sure that there is no grease, oil or dirt on the surface before

    the tape is applied. This will cause the tape to come loose.

    Make sure all holes in the surface are closed.

    The surface must have a low flame spread approval if it is used

    for marine applications.

    In order to secure the right conditions for storage of Rockwool

    marine and offshore products a special set has of conditions been

    prepared, e.g. the products:

    Must at all times be stored dry indoor in closed warehouse

    facilities.

    Must not be stacked in more than two layers when delivered

    on pallets.

    Must only be stored on the flat side when delivered in packages and

    must not be stacked in heights of more than three metres.

    Must at all times during storage remain untouched and must not be

    affected by any kind of treading, sitting or any other similar kind of

    exposure.

    Must be transported in closed compartments, e.g. trailers, contain-

    ers and other cargo holds in order to avoid exposure to weather

    elements and/or condensation etc.

    Choosing the Right Product

    To find the correct product it is necessary to know which ap

    plication it has to be used for e.g.:

    Fire insulation

    Sound insulation

    Thermal insulation

    Insulation of technical installations

    Floating floor insulation

    Panels

    Insulation of sub-sea pipelines

    Combinations e.g. fire and sound insulation

    When the application is known, the requirements for product

    characteristics need to be evaluated e.g.:

    Fire properties

    Sound properties

    Thickness

    Thermal conductivity

    Mechanical strength

    In some applications the weight could be of importance. In

    such cases the lighter products can be chosen, but it is not

    always the lightest solution that gives the best result. The light

    products do not protect against noise in the same frequency

    band as the more heavy products, so here it is necessary to

    know what result is requested in the end.

    All Rockwool SeaRox products have good fire properties,

    but when using the products on ships or offshore rigs it is

    necessary to choose the right product fulfilling the needed

    fire rating.

    Furthermore it can be relevant to evaluate the different so-

    lutions with regard to the working and installation method.

    Depending on the experience, the labour cost and the prioriti-

    sation it might be relevant to include parameters as e.g.:

    Easy handling

    Less cutting

    Fast installation

    Labour intensity

    0575/year

    Rockwool Technical Insulation has a large number of certifica-

    tes for the different products and applications from classifica-

    tion companies based on fire tests made at IMO approved fire

    institutes.

    When choosing a product it is necessary to choose a product

    that is approved by the classification company that has to ap-

    prove the application/newbuilding in the end.

    Some customers prefer to work with constructions based on

    Slabs, securing easy handling of small size and fixed products,

    others prefer to work with constructions based on Wired Mats.

    For some customers it is important to have the best and most

    safe solutions typically based on a two layer solution where

    other customers tend to focus on easy and fast installation.

    Finally, it is important to focus on the right documentation

    such as:

    Type approvals

    Type certificates

    When using Rockwool SeaRox insulation onboard a vessel

    carrying an EEA flag make sure that the product has the MED

    approval symbol (wheelmark).

    It is important to make sure that the products and construc-

    tions have the right approval needed in the specific project,

    e.g. construction approval, non-

    combustible approval and low flame spread approval.

    Remember to check if the certificate is valid at the time where

    the insulation plan is approved by the classification societies.

    Regulations for Fire InsulationAccording to SOLAS

    The requirements for materials and constructions to meet

    specified standards of safety are normally prescribed by in-

    ternational or national laws related to shipping and offshoreinstallations.

    In addition to these regulations classification societies such

    as Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and Lloyds Register of Shipping

    (LRS) may have additional requirements.

    Approvals and Certification

    Suppliers of materials and constructions to the

    marine and offshore industry must prove that their prod-

    ucts, as a minimum, meet the statutory requirements.

    The MED directive (EC Council Directive 96/98/EC - Marine

    Equipment Directive) has replaced the previous approv-

    als from the maritime authorities within EEA countries.

    All products supplied to marine carrying EEA flag must be

    subject to the MED directive.

    MED-certificates are issued by

    notified bodies accredited by an

    EEA country. Approved products

    bear the mark of conformity.

    Classification societies issue type approval certificates stat-ing the permission to use specific materials and construc-

    tions together with any relative restrictions.

    If there are special circumstances or requirements for spe-

    cial details, it may be required to obtain statements from

    other authorities.

    Approval Requirements

    To satisfy the national authorities and classification socie-

    ties, materials and constructions must be proven to complywith the national and international requirements. Tests

    have to be done at internationally recognised test labora-

    tories.

    The tests have to be performed so that the materials or

    products are exposed to a fire generated under controlled

    conditions that simulate as closely as possible a worst case

    scenario.

    Test Requirements

    There are several national and international requirements

    regarding the use of materials on ships and offshore instal-lations. These classifications are required to prove combus-

    tibility characteristics and include ignition properties, heat

    release and development of toxic gases and smoke.

    To prove that materials meet the required fire technical

    classification, tests are carried out at recognised test

    institutions according to standardised test methods.

    Material Test Methods

    Testing of materials fire resistance is done according to the

    latest FTP code for non-combustibility and where a facing is

    applied for low flame spread.

    It is important to note that materials which meet the require-

    ments for non-combustibility do not have to be tested for other

    fire technical properties.

    All Rockwool A- and H-constructions are tested according

    to FTP-code. FTP-code is describing also the thickness of

    the test specimen. The decision about the thickness of the

    structural part is in responsibility of the ship designer and will

    finally be approved by the responsible class society.

    Construction Test Methods

    Testing of a constructions fire resistance (decks, bulkheads,

    structural steel, penetrations etc.) is normally carried out in a

    standardised test furnace, where the construction specimen

    is exposed to a fire according to a standardised time/tempera-

    ture curve.

    SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 5.3.1:

    Use of non-combustible materials

    Insulating materials shall be non-combustible,

    except in cargo spaces, mail rooms, baggage

    rooms and refrigerated compartments of service

    spaces. Vapour barriers and adhesives used in

    conjunction with insulation, as well as the

    insulation of pipe fittings for cold service

    systems, need not be of non-combustible

    materials, but they shall be kept to the minimum

    quantity practicable and their exposed surfaces

    shall have low flame-spread characteristics.

    Class B Fire Divisions

    Class B fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials

    and must prevent the propagation of flames for at least 30

    minutes during a standard fire test.

    The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-

    perature on the unexposed side of the division does not

    exceed 140C above the initial temperature.

    Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on the

    unexposed side must not exceed 225C above the initial

    temperature within the time limits.

    Class A Fire Divisions

    Class A fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials

    and insulation materials must be fire tested at a recognised

    institution. They must be sufficiently braced and must pre-

    vent the propagation of flames and smoke for a minimum of

    one hour during a standard fire test.

    The divisions must be insulated so that the average temper-

    ature on the unexposed side of the division does not exceed

    140C above the initial temperature.

    Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on the

    unexposed side must not exceed 180C above the initial

    temperature within the time limits.

    Class H Fire Divisions

    Class H fire divisions must be of non-combustible materials

    and insulation materials must be fire tested at a recognized

    institution. They must be sufficiently braced and must pre-

    vent the propagation of flames and smoke for a minimum of

    two hours during a standard fire test for a hydrocarbon fire.

    The divisions must be insulated so that the average tem-

    perature on the unexposed side of the division does not

    exceed 140C above the initial temperature.

    Furthermore, the temperature at any single point on theunexposed side must not exceed 180C above the initial

    temperature within the time limits.

    One layer solution

    The construction is based on a solution where the

    construction is made with one product in one layer.

    This leads to faster installation.

    Low construction weight

    The construction is based on products with a low

    density and/or low thickness which lead to low total

    construction weight.

    Fast installation

    The construction is based on Mats which reduce

    the cutting especially around stiffeners, and

    consequently faster installation time.

    Safe solution

    The construction is based on a multiple, typical two

    layer solution which results in more safe solutions

    especially due to staggered joints.

    Optimal sound properties

    The construction is based on products with higher

    density and/or more thickness which result in better

    sound properties.

    Easy handling

    The construction is based on Slabs, where the small

    size and fixed structure of the products give an easy

    handling in respect to cutting and installation.

    Rockwool Technical Insulation has made symbols for all

    fire rated applications explaining the advantages with each

    The regulatory requirements for the blast behaviour offire rated bulkheads are not normally well documented.

    It is considered a general requirement that all parts of fire

    All the above tests were carried out without any significant damage to the insulation material.According to the Norwegian Fire Research Laboratory (SINTEF) a fire will not affect the fire integrity or stability of the insulation.

    Due to the test methods used, SINTEF has assessed the above results to be conservative.

    Rockwool, in association with SINTEF (NBL) in Norway, has performed extensive testing on H-rated Rockwool insulation systems,

    using controlled gas explosions. The test results below refer to the same insulation construction with various types of wire mesh.

    Solas requires that the stiffeners must be insulated*. One way

    is to insulate without filling the space behind the stiffeners.

    In other situations the insulation can follow the shape of the

    stiffener or the void behind the stiffener can be filled

    out.

    If the stiffener is more than 450 mm wide the insulation can

    be stopped at 450 mm. The insulation of stiffeners should be

    finally approved by local surveyor.

    In most bulkhead and deck constructions stiffeners are used to secure the necessary strength in the construction. In order to

    prevent heat transmission it is important to secure the right insulation. In general insulation of the stiffeners must follow the

    official drawings as carried out in the fire tests.

    When two plates are connected in a corner, the heat bridge should always be kept in mind when insulating. The structure

    must have insulation so that heat transfer can not occur from one unexposed surface through the structure and onto another

    unexposed surface. The heat must always go minimum 450 mm under the insulation before reaching an unexposed surface(acc. to SOLAS MSC/circ. 1120 annex reg. 9.3.4).

    Bulkhead and Deck - Construction details

    In connection with insulation it is important to pay special attention to the details related to junctions, corners etc. in order to avoid

    potential heat bridges. Below you will find examples of construction details:

    Connections between

    A-60 and A-0 construc-

    tions should be insulated

    by adding a layer of

    A-60 insulation on the

    A-0 construction in a

    minimum width of 450

    mm. This is to minimize

    the effect of the heatbridge.

    Another alternative to insulate the heat bridge can be done

    by installing min. 450 mm* of insulation on the other side

    of the construction.

    This will reduce thetransferred heat and

    thereby minimise the risk

    of self ignition inside the

    connecting room.

    Installation of Surface Steel Plate

    A surface protection of sheet metal can be installed in

    different ways, depending on the layout of the stiffeners and

    the amount of insulation.

    It is important to make the fixing in a way that minimises the

    heat bridges and structural noise transmitted via the hull.

    Corrugated Structural Steel

    A-60 Fire Rated Constructions

    In some projects the standard IMO structural core is replaced

    with a light structural core consisting of a corrugated steelplate.

    To ease the insulation Rockwool Technical Insulation has got

    an assessment from DBI (Danish Fire Institute) which allows

    insulation using our standard fire rated constructions without

    filling out the corrugation.

    The assessments are valid for A-60 fire rated constructions

    as follows:

    SeaRox WM 640, 75 mm, 1 layer

    SeaRox WM 620, 45 mm, 2 layer

    SeaRox SL 640, 30 mm, 2 layer

    SeaRox SL 620, 60 mm, 1 layer

    The assessment is provided under the following restrictions:

    Products as described in test report

    Structural core towards the fire

    The height of the corrugation may not exceed 100 mm and

    the thickness of the corrugated steel plating is not below

    1.9 mm.

    The joint between the corrugated steel sheets must be fully

    welded to insure air tightness.

    The corrugated steel structural core should not carry any

    vertical load.

    Draught Stoppers

    Draught stoppers are used above ceilings to avoid the spread

    of smoke and flames in case of fire. Normally the classifica-

    tion companies request a B-0 fire insulation above the ceiling.This can be made from SeaRox WM 640 or SeaRox SL 620 after

    request from the local surveyor or the customer.

    Construction

    SeaRox WM 640, min. 50 mm, with reinforced aluminium foil

    or...

    SeaRox SL 620, min. 60 mm, with reinforced aluminium foil.

    SeaRox SL 620 must be covered with wire mesh. Insulation

    fixed with 3 mm pins and secured with 38 mm washers.

    Installation

    Step 1: First the pins are welded vertically to the underside of

    the deck in alignment with the required position of the

    Draught Stopper.

    Step 2:The pins are then bent 90 in a staggered pattern as

    shown.

    Step 3:The Rockwool product and wire mesh are then pushed

    over the pins so that they protrude by a minimum of

    25 mm. The insulation is secured by spring steel

    washers.

    Penetrations Penetrations through the Draught Stopper are simply made

    by cutting out the shape of the penetrating items in the

    Rockwool product, for example, pipes, HVAC ducts and cable

    racks.

    The cut edge of the Wired Mat must fit tightly to the edge of

    the penetrating item and the slit in the insulation must be

    stitched/taped back together using steel wire/alu tape.

    This solution can be used for any type of penetration includ-

    ing multiple penetrations.

    Penetrations

    Penetrations of fire protection

    When pipes, ducts or other go through a bulkhead or deck

    it is called a penetration. There are special rules regarding

    insulation when the decks or bulkheads with fire class are

    penetrated.

    The pipe going through a fire classed structure must be

    made of steel and must have a length of minimum 900

    mm. IMO suggests to use min. 450 mm on each side of the

    construction.

    The min. 900 mm insulation must have the same insulation

    class weight as the structure that is penetrated.

    SOLAS, Chapter II-2, Regulation 9, sec 3:

    The duct spool must be insulated with A-rated fire

    insulation for a distance of either side of the bulkhead

    or deck (L1 + L2 = 900 mm)
