Jet Fire Testing (ISO 22899 Part 1)

Jet Fire Testing determines passive fire protection materials' resistance to jet fires according to ISO 22899, Part1 requirements. Intertek can help you reduce the time and high costs associated with shipping and testing your products overseas. Our state-of-the-art Jet Fire facility is located near San Antonio, Texas. It can simulate natural gas jet fires which could occur on offshore platforms and land-based facilities, where natural gas leaks can produce significant heat flux exposure to structural steel.

The Jet Fire Test allows controlled and repeatable Jet Fire simulation on panel, structural steelwork and pipe configurations coated with fire protective materials. The test is conducted using 14 Megawatt (0.3 kg/sec) horizontal flames produced by a propane fuel system projected out of the standardized jet nozzle for various time periods, depending on the rating, to simulate the intense jet fires that offshore oil rigs face.
