4 Classifications and Naming
4.1 Product classification
4.1.1 Fire-resistant coatings for steel structures could be divided according to situations into: a) Interior fire-resistant coating for steel structure: applied on the interior of constructions or the steel structure surface of embedded constructions; b) Exterior fire-resistant coating for steel structure: applied on the exterior of constructions or the steel structure surface of open constructions. 4.1.2 Fire-resistant coatings for steel structures could be divided according to used thickness into: a) Fire-resistant coating for ultra-thin steel structure: coating thickness less than or equal to 3mm; b) Fire-retardant coating of thin steel structure: coating thickness more than 3mm and less than or equal to 7mm; c) Fire-retardant coating of thick steel structure: coating thickness more than 7mm and less than or equal to 45mm. 4.2 Product naming Chinese phonetic alphabets are used for code names, N and W respectively represent interior and exterior, CB, B and H respectively represent ultra-thin, thin, and thick and the corresponding relationships between coating names and code names are shown as follows: Interior fire-resistant coating for ultra-thin steel structure NCB Exterior fire-resistant coating for ultra-thin steel structure WCB Interior fire-resistant coating for thin steel structure NB Exterior fire-retardant coating of thin steel structure WB Interior thick steel structure fire-retardant coating NH Exterior thick steel structure fire-retardant coating WH |
