FIRE PROTECTION OF WOODEN STORAGE CONTAINERS FOR EXPLOSIVE AND PYROTECHNIC PRODUCTS

SUMMARY

Analysis of the emergency storage facilities for explosive and pyrotechnic products is conducted. It is established that one of the greatest risks is their flammability. Since the explosive and pyrotechnic products are stored in wooden containers, there is a need for their fire protection. To determine the efficiency of fire resistant containers for packaging explosive products it is designed operating range of testing method. This method is necessary to establish mass loss, measuring the growth temperature and response time of the squibs. The results of the efficiency of the fire retardant treatment of wood and organic coated coating showed that when exposed to high–temperature destruction of the construction detonation of the squibs didn’t happen.Tests to determine the quality of the fire retardant treatment of wood coatings showed that the temperature on the inner surfaces of the untreated sample was more than 760 ºC, samples with fire retardant coatings – no more than 128 °C. The conclusion of the feasibility of using fire–retardants is not based on inorganic and organic binders for the treatment of wooden structures.Method of determining the fire protection is used to assess the efficiency of the fire protection of wooden structures. Method comprises determining the ratio of the sample rate of burnout, the temperature increment and the ignition time of untreated and treated samples. As a result of the firing testing it is established a speed burnout reduction of samples of the container with treated coatings compared with untreated coatings is decreased by 2,4-4,4 times and respectively fire protection efficiency factor of treated samples of the container compared to untreated is increased by1.8-4.1 times.
