Heat input rate caused by an external fire shall be determined with Equation 0-2 from API RP 520, Part I. Use F = 1.00 for vessels without insulation credit Ft2 of total wetted surface area exposed to fire heat input as determined in Section 19.7. Credit for insulation shall only be taken if insulation system conforms to both of the following: a. Insulation shall resist fire for 2 hours without badly decomposing and losing most of its resistance to heat transfer.
