Case Study: BlazeMaster® CPVC Provides Long-Term Reliability in Offshore Facility

Given the risks of fire on an oil platform, the marine engineering firm subjected BlazeMaster® CPVC to numerous tests to ensure it could withstand intense heat and pressure. The BlazeMaster pipe and fittings system withstood direct fire exposure with temperatures above 500^oC (930^oF). When compared to a metallic option, BlazeMaster CPVC’s flexibility and light weight were key considerations.

It was the contractor’s first experience with CPVC installation. Reflecting the company’s commitment to service, trainers from BlazeMaster Fire Protection Systems provided on-site guidance to eliminate any concerns. The engineering firm was so impressed with its initial use of BlazeMaster CPVC it decided to specify the pipe and fittings for future jobs.
