|
|
|
ò

Flame
Spread Vs. Fire Resistance:
|
|
|
ò
What is the difference?
|
|
á Flame spread is how quickly a fire
travels across
|
|
á the surface and fire resistance is how
fast a fire
|
|
á burns through the cross section.
|
|
|
ò
For calculating the fire resistance rating for a wall assembly,
|
|
á please refer to the Component Additive
Method (CAM).
|
|
á This method entails adding the resistance
rating of individual
|
á components to quality the resistance
rating for the assembly
