  2. Passive fire protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_fire_protection

    PFP systems are designed to "prevent" the spread of fire and smoke, or heating of structural members, for an intended limited period of time as determined by the local building code and fire codes. Passive fire protection measures such as firestops, fire walls, and fire doors, are tested to determine the fire-resistance rating of the final ...

  3. Firestop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestop

    A firestop or fire-stopping is a form of passive fire protection that is used to seal around openings and between joints in a fire-resistance-rated wall or floor assembly. Firestops are designed to maintain the fire-resistance rating of a wall or floor assembly intended to impede the spread of fire and smoke. [1]

  4. Firestop pillow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestop_pillow

    Firestop pillows are passive fire protection items used for firestopping holes to achieve fireproofing. The various kinds of firestop pillows are intended to slow the spread of fire. They are often used to meet fire-resistance ratings in conduits that need frequent access.

  5. Fire damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_damper

    Fire/smoke dampers are similar to fire dampers in fire resistance rating, and also prevent the spread of smoke inside the ducts. When a rise in temperature occurs, the fire damper closes, usually activated by a thermal element which melts at temperatures higher than ambient but low enough to indicate the presence of a fire, allowing springs to ...

  6. Fire protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_protection

    Fire protection is the study and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially destructive fires. [1] [2] It involves the study of the behaviour, compartmentalisation, suppression and investigation of fire and its related emergencies, as well as the research and development, production, testing and application of mitigating systems.

  7. Penetration (firestop) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_(firestop)

    A penetration, in firestopping, is an opening, such as one created by the use of a cast-in-place sleeve, in a wall or floor assembly required to have a fire-resistance rating, for the purpose of accommodating the passage of a mechanical, electrical, or structural penetrant. [1] The penetration may or may not contain a firestop system.

  8. Fire compartmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_compartmentation

    A firewall installed between substation transformers. In fire safety, compartmentation in structures, such as land-based buildings, traffic tunnels, ships, aerospace vehicles, or submarines, is an objective of passive fire protection, in which a structure is divided into fire compartments, which may contain single or multiple rooms, for the purpose of limiting the spread of fire, smoke and ...

  9. Fireproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing

    Fireproofing is rendering something (structures, materials, etc.) resistant to fire, or incombustible; or material for use in making anything fire-proof. [1] It is a passive fire protection measure. "Fireproof" or "fireproofing" can be used as a noun, verb or adjective; it may be hyphenated ("fire-proof"). Applying a certification listed ...
