protection of structural steel tie rods and turnbuckles
The “T-REX 381-180” pre-formed shells are elements made of a double layer of different materials, suitable for the fire protection of steel tie rods. They consist of an inner calcium silicate shell with a thickness of 25 mm and an outer refractory ceramic fibre shell with a thickness of 30 mm, faced with 0,25 mm thick galvanised steel sheet, 1000 mm long. The turnbuckle protection is made with a similar element 600 mm long, called the turnbuckle cover. The turnbuckle cover must overlap only the silicate layer of the shells concerned by at least 50 mm on both sides, according to the critical temperature and the length of the tie rod. The insulation and the galvanised steel sheet facing are supplied separately in order to facilitate installation operations. The galvanised steel sheet shall be fixed with self-drilling screws at 200 mm centres.
