A more recent standard that addresses topside design specifically for fire and blast, often compared with 2FB for risk-matrix screening.
Offshore fires can quickly reach extreme temperatures, severely compromising the yield strength of structural steel. API RP 2FB addresses three primary types of offshore fires: Characteristics Impact on Structure High-velocity, pressurized gas/liquid release. Intense localized heat and erosive forces. Pool Fire Accumulation of liquid hydrocarbons on a deck. Broad, uniform thermal radiation. Confined Fire Fire within an enclosed module. Rapid temperature spikes due to trapped heat. Structural Behavior at Elevated Temperatures API RP 2FB addresses three primary types of
