a) Welding of nuts and application of primer

M-16 nuts shall be welded with all the steel members to be fire proofed. Maximum spacing of nuts shall
be 400 mm center to center in both directions. Nuts shall be welded to the vessel support / skirt. Primer
paint shall be applied to the MS nuts and member surfaces affected by welding after cleaning. Primer
paint shall be compatible with the primer already applied to the steel members.

b) Fixing of expanded metal steel sheet

Expanded metal steel sheet shall only be used for built up sections, consisting of two members spaced
apart. This shall be kept in position true to line and face and shall be attached firmly to structural steel
member by tack welding or with the help of clips and 16 SWG tying wire at 300 mm c/c. Minimum lap of
75 mm shall be provided wherever required; however, laps shall be avoided at bends. Strands of the
expanded metal steel sheet shall slope inwards and downwards.

c) Placement of reinforcement

Application of vermiculate cementitious coating

a) Vermiculite cementitious coating material shall be mixed with water on a clean platform, or in a clean
mixing box, or in a suitable mixer as per manufacturer’s specifications. Water cement ratio shall be
adjusted to proper consistency for adhesion without sagging or sliding upon application.

b) Primer compatible with the vermiculite cement coating, as recommended by the manufacturer, shall
be applied over the steel surface after cleaning the shop primer, if required, as per the manufacturer’s
specifications.

c) Mixed vermiculite cementitious coating shall generally be applied over the steel surface with the help
of spray gun, except for small areas and inaccessible location, where application with conventional hand
tools shall be permitted. Mixed vermiculite shall be used within the pot life specified by the manufacturer.
Under no circumstances shall rebound material be used.

d) For maximum long term in service durability, the use of lightweight mesh reinforcement is
recommended.

e) The full specified thickness shall be developed in three successive coats.

- Rendering coat: Thickness between 8 mm to 12 mm

- Floating coat: Thickness between 18 mm to 22 mm to give a total thickness of 30 mm
min. upto the floating coat.
- Finishing coat: Not less than 8 mm thick.

Each successive layer shall only be applied after the preceding layer has developed its initial set and is
also properly scratched with steel brush to develop proper bond. If the application is interrupted and
does not satisfy successive layers criteria, the coating shall be cut back to the steel surface / proceeding
layer with a trowel at an inclined angle. Exposed surface of this coating shall be thoroughly wetted before
resuming work.

e) Application of mixed vermiculite shall not be carried out if the air temperature or the temperature of the
surface to be fire proofed is 4°C or less. Provision shall be made for adequate ventilation during and
after application, until the coating is dry.
