Nelson Firestop's Mutli-Cable Transit TriPes Materia,s chosen To Market Czech En9ines

System: Approved By USCG, Navy

Nelson Firestop Products pro- vides a wide range of products de- signed to arrest the spread of fire aboard vessels.

Nelson Firestop's "Multi-Cable

Transit™" system provides an al- ternative to the age-old method of supplying individual stuffing tubes for each cable that transited through an integrity bulkhead or deck. The system, which was first introduced in 1966, was subjected to a test program by the U.S. Navy and the

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), after which the system was awarded ap- proval. The testing on MCT in- cluded: • A one-hour ASTM E-119 fire test on a bare (no insulation) six-foot by eight-foot by 1/4-inch thick steel bulkhead — no flaming on the cold side occurred.

Nelson Firestop supplies a variety of firestopping products. • Another test was performed on a bare (non-insulated) deck plate six feet in diameter and the same 1/4- inch thickness. The results were equally successful. • Shock testing to Mil-S-901C and vibration testing to Mil-STD-167 reportedly did not cause loss of 25 psi of air pressure out of the "MCT" test chamber. • Confinement of 25 psi of air hydro- static water pressure for a sustained period; reportedly, no dislodgement or movement of parts occurred. • A Mil-P- 16685C thermocycling test was performed in which repeated heated 212° F and ambient water temperatures were applied to tran- sits, reportedly resulting in minimal leaking by the transit system.

Nelson reports that a 53 percent savings in space, pulling and back- ing time gained immediate accep- tance of the system by waterfront personnel. Nelson Multi-Cable Tran- sit systems have reportedly been installed on several hundred vessels for the U.S. Navy, USCG, USCG- certified vessels and offshore plat- forms. These include steel vessels, steel hulls with aluminum super- structures, aluminum vessels, wood minesweepers, fiberglass mine- sweepers, various auxiliaries, fer- ries and pleasure craft.
