Fire ratings
OUTLINE OF THE PRESENTATION:
• Definition
• Purpose
• Evaluating materials
• Flame-spread rating
• Flame-resistive rating
104
FIRE RATINGS
• A fire-rated wall is a feature of a building's
passive fire protection system that has been
checked and certified by the proper regulatory
agency. It is necessary to pump out
groundwater from trenches, excavations, and
places with inadequate slope to ensure a safe
and secure workplace and environment
105
PURPOSE OF FIRE-RATING TEST
• The purpose of such testing is to provide
architects and fire protection engineers
with adequate information so that they can
select appropriate material that will not
contribute to the problem of life safety from
fire within structures.
106
FIRE-SPREAD RATING
• When evaluating building materials for fire safety, many
factors including ignition temperature, smoke toxicity
and flame-spread are considered.
• Flame-spread, used to describe the surface burning
characteristics of building materials, is one of the most
tested fire performance properties of a material.
• The best known test for developing this rating is the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test
Method E-84, commonly known as the tunnel test.
• Many factors influence fire spread within buildings, and
one of the most important is the interior finish
material. 107
Class A - Flame-spread 0-25,
smoke developed 0-450.
Class B - Flame-spread 26-75,
smoke developed 0-450.
Class C - Flame-spread 76-200,
smoke developed 0-450. 108
FIRE-RESISTIVE RATING
• Exterior wall construction can be classified by
its fire-resistance.
• A fire-resistive rating is the time that exterior

wall construction can withstand fire exposure as
determined by a standard fire test. Wall
construction can be classified as 4-hour, 3-hour,
2-hour, 1-hour and non-rated construction.
109
• A fire-resistive rating is the time that exterior wall
construction can withstand fire exposure as determined by a
standard fire test. Wall construction can be classified as 4-
hour, 3-hour, 2-hour, 1-hour and non-rated construction.
• Wood studs used in exterior wall assemblies are given a rating
of 20 minutes (1997 U.B.C. Standards). If the space between
the wood studs is filled with rock-wool insulation batts or
glass-wool batts, an additional 15 minutes is allowed.
• The Fire Resistance Directory, published by the Underwriters
Laboratory, lists many examples of fire-resistant exterior wall
construction. Log and heavy timber construction is also
considered 1-hour construction. Brick, real stucco, block, and
stone meet or exceed the 1-hour requirements.
110
Wood
111
Concrete
Depending on the thickness of the wall,

the density of the units and the amount of
grout used, concrete masonry walls can
provide up to a four hour fire rating.
Additionally, concrete masonry walls
pass the hose stream test unlike
other fire rated wall systems 112
Fire SPRINKLER SYSTEM

Fire Sprinkler System
• An integrated network of hydraulically

designed piping system installed in a building,
structure or area with outlets arranged in a
systematic pattern which automatically
discharges water when activated by heat or
combustion products from a fire.
• Fire sprinkler systems are extensively used
worldwide, with over 40 million sprinkler
heads fitted each year. In buildings
completely protected by fire sprinkler
systems, over 96% of fires were controlled by
fire sprinklers alone.

History
• Leonardo da Vinci designed a sprinkler system in the 15th
century. Leonardo automated his patron's kitchen with a
super-oven and a system of conveyor belts. In a comedy of
errors, everything went wrong during a huge banquet, and a
fire broke out. "The sprinkler system worked all too well,
causing a flood that washed away all the food and a good
part of the kitchen.“
4
History
• Da Vinci's mixed experiment may have paved the way for future fire
sprinkler systems, but the first automatic sprinklers emerged much later.
Some of the first designs for an automatic sprinkler system developed in
the early 1800s. By the 1870s, multiple American inventors had filed for
patents on automatic fire sprinklers. While Phillip H. Pratt received the
first patent in 1872, Henry S. Parmalee is viewed as the inventor of the
first practical automatic sprinkler system two years later.

Types
• Today's fire sprinkler system types vary with the climate, specific fire
hazards, and the presence of electronic equipment
Today, there are four main types of sprinkler systems:

• Wet pipe
• Dry pipe
• Preaction
• Deluge
5
11/5/19
Types
• The wet pipe fire sprinkler system
-In a wet pipe fire sprinkler system, the pipes

supplying fire sprinklers have water in them at all
times. When a fire sprinkler activates, the water
discharges immediately. Sprinkler heads in this type
of fire sprinkler system do not all discharge
simultaneously.
6
Types
• The wet pipe fire sprinkler system

-Wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems are
reliable and relatively easy to install.
And because they have fewer
components than other automatic
fire protection systems, wet pipe
systems are easier to maintain.
However, freezing temperatures can
damage the water-filled pipe and
other components in wet-pipe
systems
7
Types
• The dry pipe fire sprinkler system

-A dry pipe sprinkler system contains
compressed air within the pipes. This
type of fire sprinkler system
maintains pressure with an electric
air compressor, nitrogen bottles, or
another supply system. When a fire
sprinkler head opens, the
compressed air discharges and water
fills system piping.
8.

Types
• The preaction fire sprinkler system

-Like a dry-pipe system, preaction fire
sprinkler systems have air-filled
piping. However, a preaction system
requires one or two extra events for
sprinkler discharge: usually, the
opening of a fire sprinkler head and
the separate detection of flame, heat,
or smoke.
Preaction systems can prevent expensive false positives in art galleries and elsewhere.
9
Types
• The preaction fire sprinkler system

-Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, the National Fire Protection
Association describes three types of preaction systems:
• Single-interlock - allows water to pass into the piping only when detection devices
operate.
• Non-interlock - releases water into the system when the detection devices OR the
automatic sprinkler heads operate.
• Double-interlock - respond more slowly than the other two types of preaction
systems.
10
Types
• The deluge fire sprinkler system

-Deluge sprinkler systems behave like
a preaction system with one major
difference: all of the fire sprinkler
heads remain permanently open. This
type of fire sprinkler system is
designed to activate when an
initiating device, like a smoke
detector, sends a signal to a
monitoring panel. This panel opens a
solenoid valve, which releases the
extinguishing material. 11

Design
Sprinkler systems are intended to either control the fire or to suppress the fire. Control
mode sprinklers are intended to control the heat release rate of the fire to prevent
building structure collapse, and pre-wet the surrounding combustibles to prevent fire
spread. The fire is not extinguished until the burning combustibles are exhausted or
manual extinguishment is effected by fire fighters. Suppression mode sprinklers are
intended to result in a severe sudden reduction of the heat release rate of the fire,
followed quickly by complete extinguishment, prior to manual intervention.
12
Design
Most sprinkler systems installed today are designed using an area and density
approach. First the building use and building contents are analyzed to determine the
level of fire hazard. Usually buildings are classified as light hazard, ordinary hazard
group 1, ordinary hazard group 2, extra hazard group 1, or extra hazard group 2.
After determining the hazard classification, a design area and density can be
determined by referencing tables in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
standards. The design area is a theoretical area of the building representing the
worst case area where a fire could burn. The design density is a measurement of
how much water per square foot of floor area should be applied to the design area.

WATER
TANK
REQUIREMENT
1
WATER TANK REQUIREMENT
• A water storage tank is a reservoir to

store water for industrial, home use and
firefighting. Tanks made from steel have
the potential to corrode and leak if not
properly protected internally from water
containing chlorine and externally from
soil.
• They can be vertical, horizontal,
underground and potable, and can be
made from plastic, steel, fiberglass, stone
or concrete. Water tank leakage and
corrosion as well as bacterial growth are
threats to the tank.

WATER TANK REQUIREMENT
RA9514 IRR
SECTION 10.5.7.1 .C
“ll reservoir or water tanks must

provide a 20% fire reserve over
and above the Average Daily
Demand Supply (ADDS). “
4
Pressure and Gravity Tanks
SECTION 10.2.6.D.4.E
• Pressure or gravity tanks shall have a

capacity sufficient to furnish at least
two hundred sixty five (265) liters of
water per minutes for thirty (30)
minutes.
• Other such tanks shall be located so
as to provide not less than one and
eight-tenths (1.8) kilos per square
centimeters residual pressure from
each of two (2) outlets flowing
simultaneously for thirty (30) minutes.
11/5/19
Pressure and Gravity Tanks
SECTION 10.2.6.D.4.E
• All tanks shall be equipped with a

manhole, ladder and platform,
drainpipe, water pressure gauges, and
a pressure relief valve.
• Each pressure tanks shall be tested in

place after installation and proved tight
at a hydrostatic pressure required, but
not less than ten (10) kilogram per
square centimeters.

DRY
AND WET
STANDPIPE
1
What is a Fire Protection Standpipe?
NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) defines standpipes as:

“arrangement of piping, valves, hose connections, and associated
equipment installed in a building or structure, with the hose
connections located in such a manner that water can be discharged
in streams or spray patterns through attached hose and nozzles,
for the purpose of extinguishing a fire, thereby protecting a building
or structure and its contents in addition to protecting the occupants”
2
11/5/19
• Simply put, standpipe systems are:
• network of piping in a building fed by a water supply and featuring
numerous outlets for the water
• essentially indoor fire hydrants that allow occupants, firefighters, or both
to access water to fight fires
• just like the elevator brake, they have made the construction and safe
use of tall buildings possible
3
Types of Standpipe Systems
• Automatic wet standpipe systems

• Automatic dry standpipe systems
• Semiautomatic dry standpipe systems
• Manual wet standpipe systems
• Manual dry standpipe systems
4
Automatic wet standpipe systems
• have pressurized water in their pipes at all times

• when a hose outlet is opened, water immediately flows
from them, hence the word “automatic”
• practical impact is that these systems do not require
firefighters to supply water and pressure to the system to
make them work
• not suited for environments where low temperatures will
cause water to freeze and damage the pipes
• commonly used in high rise buildings where it would be
impractical for the fire department to pump enough water
at a high enough pressure to deliver water to high floors
5
• Automatic dry standpipe systems
• Contains pressurized air in the pipe

• Environmental temperature must be at least 40 °F for
installation.
 System piping and hose valves can be stored at lower
temps.
• Found in residential multi-family mid-rise buildings
6
Semiautomatic dry standpipe systems
• Contains pressurized air or

atmospheric air in the pipe
• Water enters pipe through activation of
remote control device.
• Environmental temperature must be at
least 40 °F.
• Found in industrial complexes or public
areas where features are exposed to
varying weather
7
Manual wet standpipe systems
•
8
Manual dry standpipe systems
•
Does not have an attached water
supply

Fire fighters must connect a water
