Are passive fire protection barriers typically provided to protect structures, pipe racks, etc., against hydrogen jet fires?
Each system should be evaluated for exposure of equipment to jet fires. The design team should develop
a plan to mitigate exposure as part of the hazard analysis. Fire barriers, walls, enclosures, and insulation
systems are frequently installed to meet code requirements where separation distances are not
sufficient or where the probability of exposure to a jet fire is high. Barriers are sometimes installed for
high risk exposures such as storage vessels, even if not required by Code rules.
