Understanding the mechanics of fire protection sleeves is essential to appreciate their effectiveness.
Barrier to Heat and Flames
Fire sleeves create a barrier between the fire source and the components they shield. This barrier prevents direct contact with flames, reducing the risk of ignition.
Containment and Prevention
In the event of a fire, these sleeves contain the heat and flames, preventing them from spreading. This containment can make the difference between a minor incident and a major catastrophe.
Temperature Tolerance
Fire protection sleeves are engineered to withstand extremely high temperatures. Their ability to maintain integrity under intense heat is a testament to their reliability.
