• Industrial Thermal Insulation Properties above Sintering Temperatures 

      Gunnarshaug, Amalie; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Log, Torgrim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Processing highly flammable products, the oil and gas (O&G) industry can experience major explosions and fires, which may expose pressurized equipment to high thermal loads. In 2020, oil fires occurred at two Norwegian O&G ...
    • Method for measuring cooling efficiency ofwater droplets impinging onto hot metal discs 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Log, Torgrim; Frette, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-09)
      The present work outlines a method for measuring the cooling efficiency of droplets impinging onto hot metal discs in the temperature range of 85 °C to 400 °C, i.e., covering the boiling regimes experienced when applying ...
    • Small Scale Hydrocarbon Fire Test Concept 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Kraaijeveld, Arjen; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-14)
      In the oil and gas industry, hydrocarbon process equipment was previously often thermally insulated by applying insulation directly to the metal surface. Fire protective insulation was applied outside the thermal insulation. ...
