Lays down performance requirements for spray fire shields under simulated laboratory conditions that model the failure of a highly pressurized mechanical joint normally found in liquid piping systems. Such liquid piping systems are found in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, turbines and generators in power generation facilities and other flammable liquid operations such as hydraulic oil lines or liquid transfer piping.
