    This document discusses how to calculate the thickness of fire protection (PFP) required for steel structures. It provides the following key points: 1. The thickness of PFP required depends on duration of fire exposure, critical steel temperature, size and type of steel section, and Hp/A ratio. 2. Hp/A is a ratio that relates the heated perimeter of a steel section to its cross-sectional area, and higher Hp/A ratios require thicker PFP. 3. Examples are given showing how the Hp/A ratio and required PFP thickness change depending on the number of sides of a steel section exposed to fire. Certificates and tables are then referenced to determine

    Calculation of PFP Thickness

    Sunday, January 10, 2016

    The thickness of fire protection required is determined by:


    1. Duration
    2. Critical Steel Temperature
    3. Steel section size and type
    Hp/A ratio
    4. Thickness stated in the local or international approval

    SI Units:
    Hp/A =
    M/D =
    A/V =

    Heated Perimeter

    Cross Section Area


    Mass of Section
    Heated Perimeter
    Heated Surface Area
    Volume of Steel

    Imperial (US) Units:


    W/D =

    Weight of section

    A/P =

    Cross Section Area

    Heated Perimeter

    All express the relationship between the amount of steel capable


    of absorbing heat to the area of steel surface exposed to the fire.

    How much PFP do I need?

    Hp/A - Section Factors


    Heated
    Perimeter
    (Hp = m)

    Low Hp/A = Thinner PFP


    305 x 305 x 240 kg/m
    Hp/A = 1.905m / 0.0305m
    Hp/A = 62 m-1
    For H120 (400C):
    Chartek 7 = 11 mm

    Cross
    Sectional
    Area
    (A = m)

    High Hp/A = Thicker PFP


    305 x 305 x 97 kg/m
    Hp/A = 1.789m / 0.0123m
    Hp/A = 145 m-1
    For H120 (400C):
    Chartek 7 = 16 mm

    How much PFP do I need?


    How Hp/A changes with sides exposed to fire.
    (Example 305 x 305 x240 Kg/m UC)

    4 Sides exposed
    Hp/A=

    1.905 m
    0.0305 m

    Hp/A = 62 m-1

    Wall, Floor or Deck

    Wall, Floor or Deck

    3 Sides exposed

    Flange only exposed

    Hp/A=

    1.587 m
    0.0305 m

    Hp/A = 52 m-1

    Hp/A=

    0.393 m
    0.0305 m

    Hp/A = 13 m-1

    Note: Cross Sectional Area Remains the same in all cases!

    How to calculate an Hp/A?

    What do I do with my Hp/A?

    Chartek 7 Certificate

    Interchar 963 loadings

    Example of Certificate of Fire Approval with table of Hp/A v required PFP thickness

    What do I do with my Hp/A?

    What about other section shapes?
