(Intumescent Epoxy Mastics & Lightweight Concretes)
Attachment 1 -- Approved Proprietary FP Materials
Appendix 1 (Use SAES-B-006, July 2006 or latest revision)
Ordinary dense concrete is the preferred fireproofing of structures and supports because of its proven economy,
durability, and effectiveness in hydrocarbon fires. However, for some applications, alternative proprietary fireproofing
mat'ls may be justified. This listing is intended to provide useful information on the available proprietary fireproofing
materials to requisition originators and others responsible for the development and evaluation of bids. This is not
intended to list all acceptable materials, nor are requisition originators restricted to the products of manufacturers or
vendors on this list. Fireproofing may be purchased from any qualified source that can comply with the mandatory
requirements. Verification of compliance shall be the responsibility of the requisition originator. Approval shall be
received from Chief Fire Prevention Engineer for each product unless it is already listed. See Section 8 reqmts.

Refer to latest revision of SAES-A-006 available & utilize Appendix 1: A)

B) Approved Manufacturer ... Is it on the list?
C) Approved Material Supplier &
Installer ... Are they on the list? Note: Any item "not

8.5 Top-Coating of Cementitious Fireproofing
8.5.1 All cementitious fireproofing (whether dense or lightweight concrete) shall be provided with a top coat under any of
the following conditions:
When top-coating is required by the manufacturer.
When fireproofing is installed within 3 m vertically from grade.
When fireproofing is installed on equipment that is protected by a fixed firewater spray or deluge system.
When fireproofing is installed below atmospheric drains or vents that are used during normal operations.
8.5.2 When cementitious fireproofing is to be provided with a top coat, the following shall apply:
Surface shall be dry & loose contaminants shall have been removed by brushing (stiff bristle brush) & vacuuming.
Fireproofing must be fully cured in accordance with manufacturer's technical reqmts, prior to top-coat application.
First top coat, SA Stock # 1000194629 thinned 10% to 15% & applied to a dry-film thickness of 50 to 90 microns.
Second top coat, SA Stock Number 1000194797 shall be applied to dry-film thickness of 75 to 125 microns.

8.6 Top-Coating of Intumescent Epoxy Mastic Proprietary Fireproofing

Intumescent epoxy mastic and other noncementitious proprietary fireproofing shall be top-coated when it is required by
the fireproofing manufacturer.
8.6.1 Fireproofing must be clean, dry, and free of contaminants prior to top-coating.
8.6.2 Fireproofing must be cured in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations prior to top-coating.
8.6.3 Top-coating of Saudi Aramco Stock Number 1000194797 or 1000194960 shall be applied to a dry-film thickness of
75 to 125 microns.
8.6.4 Top-coating for proprietary fireproofing other than an intumescent epoxy mastic shall be approved by the
fireproofing manufacturer and the Chief Fire Prevention Engineer. The coating shall be applied in a manner approved
by the fireproofing manufacturer and by the Manger, Inspection Department, Dhahran.

APPLICATION NOTE (DESIGN):

8.3 Process Insulation
Vessels, exchangers, & equipment externally insulated for process reasons shall be considered to be fireproofed if
process insulation per SAES-N-001, as a composite system, satisfies FP performance Stds in Section 7 below.
7.1 Dense concrete meeting the material requirements of Section 8 and applied with a minimum thickness of 50 mm is
accepted as complying with the performance requirements for fireproofing without further testing. Dense concrete is the
preferred fireproofing for onshore facility structures & supports because of its proven economy, durability, and
effectiveness in hydrocarbon fires.
7.2 Minimum thickness of fireproofing mat'ls for structural members & vessel supports, other than qualifying dense
concrete, shall be installed with a thickness to provide a minimum fire-resistance rating of two (2) hours when subjected
to a test furnace environment in accordance with UL 1709 or an equivalent fire exposure test procedure accepted by the
Chief Fire Prevention Engineer.All materials and methods of fireproofing shall also be listed to meet the ASTM E119
Hose Test. Fireproofing manufacturer shall also demonstrate that there is no peel-back at the edges or terminations of
the fireproofing in a fire situation for the intended application. Certified test reports shall be submitted to the Chief Fire
Prevention Engineer for his approval. Refer to Appendix 1 for more info.
