- Abstract
- The purpose of this testing was to obtain data on the fire performance of bulkhead and deck penetrations used in shipboard construction. This data was collected for use in establishing acceptability criteria for individual penetrations submitted for future U. S. Coast Guard approval. A secondary objective was to provide guidelines of sample penetrations which successfully meet Coast Guard requirements for piercing Class A-0 and Class A-60 decks and bulkheads and which also followed good marine practice in design and construction.
