In this paper, a fire resistance test was carried out in accordance with the change of the insulation conditions on the exposed side and unexposed side of a coaming to obtain the optimal insulation conditions for class H-120 insulation in connection with specimen1 of the preceding paper for an evaluation of the fireproof performance of fire dampers according to hydrocarbon fire conditions. In the test results, specimen2(88 mm, $171^{\circ}C$) met the class H-120 insulation conditions, but specimen3(76mm, $181^{\circ}C$) exceeded the thermal insulation acceptance criteria at 110 minutes. Therefore, specimen2(88 mm) represents the optimal insulation conditions as a possible lightweight materialas compared to specimen1. From a comparison of the test results, we concluded that the temperature increase of the coaming insulation surface was influenced by conductive heat from the bulkhead and that the coaming surface was influenced by radiant heat from the blade and coaming.

In this paper, fire resistance test was carried out to obtain class H-120 thermal insulation of fire dampers according to a hydrocarbon fire conditions. Specimens were fabricated three different types according to the change of the insulation system applied to damper blade and coaming which were measured surface temperature by performing the fire resistance test. As a test result, specimen-1, 2 of an uninsulated damper blade were exceeded thermal insulation acceptance criteria at 21 minutes, 46 minutes respectively, but specimen-3 of an insulated damper blade was satisfied thermal insulation acceptance criteria during 120 minutes. The test results showed that the insulation of the damper blade was an important factor in the fireproof performance of fire dampers concerning the coaming length minimum 500 mm on the unexposed side as specified test standard.
