The details of hydrocarbon burning action and metal structures behavior under the conditions of hydrocarbon combustion are described. The key problems of metal structures' fire hardening in petroleum refinery are proved. The fire test procedure to burning extent in the initial stage is represented. The test results are analyzed and the conclusions are made on their basis.
temperature specifications (conditions) of fire, hydrocarbon temperature mode of fire, fire hardening of metal structures
