Point Engineering has launched a new hinged door product in their range of fire and gas resistant units. The new door is designed to resist an overpressure of 800mba (millibars) for 120ms (milliseconds) specifically for use in blast resistant modules and other applicable blast resistance projects offshore and onshore. Point have previously manufactured units for lower pressure blast resistance, however further product development targeting higher pressures has successfully resulted in gaining this latest certification.

Construction is in mild or stainless steel using their tried and tested rebated A60 fire door and “Z” section frame for welding or bolting in to position. Three point latching system with optional escape bar equipment is fitted.

Jonathan Rollison, Sales & Marketing Director, said “Point have been manufacturing and developing fire resistant doors and hatches for many years, this latest development fills a gap at the top of our product range. We’re also pleased to have been approved by LRQA to ISO 9001:2008 and by DNV to the Marine Equipment Directive, MED-D, both demonstrating our commitment to quality manufacturing”.

The company is developing the product range further to include resistant standards for security and defence.
