False Deck Panels and False Deck Tile Systems
Nomex honeycomb false deck panels made per NAVSEA Drawing #803-6397481, plus a smaller-panel false deck tile system used on LPD ships.
Description
Whiting false deck panels are made in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing #803-6397481.
The false deck tile system is a newer design used on LPD ships. It uses smaller panels of the same materials with a solid phenolic edge trim. The panels are cut to size, and their edges are machined with a step that fits a raised aluminum track on the ship deck.
Key features
- They use a 3/16" cell, 6.0 lb density DuPont Nomex honeycomb core with a 20 mil 7642 fiberglass composite substrate impregnated with 50% by weight fire retardant phenolic resin (MIL-A-25463).
- Faces are a customer-specified decorative finish (Wilsonart SR-605, NEMA type FR-50), co-bonded directly to GRP sheets on both faces.
