Resistance means barrier to something. And I hope you know what is fire?


ans2. Fire Resistance Rating is a formal measurement of fire rating. It is used to provide a relative rating for fire resistance for doors, walls, etc.
The rating is measured in a standard test rig, and with a 'standardized fire'. These are laid out in various standards.
Ratings are commonly given in 30 minute increments, as anything between these intervals is unimportant in the context.
Some rating numbers however refer to the temperature profile against time, of the fire.

Is hardboard fire resistant?

Hardboard is not inherently fire resistant. However, it can be treated with fire-retardant chemicals to improve its fire resistance. It is important to check with the manufacturer regarding the specific fire resistance properties of the hardboard in question.


Are woven fabrics more fire resistance than knitted fabrics?

No. The only fabrics that are fire resistant are fabrics that are marked fire resistant. Whether the fabric is woven or a knit has nothing to do with the fire resistance.


Is rubber fire resistance?

Rubber is generally not fire resistant and will melt or burn when exposed to flames or high temperatures. Special formulations or additives can be used to improve the fire resistance of rubber materials.


Is class 1 fire rating the same as 1 hour fire resistance?

In short, No - in the UK "Class 1" is a form of performance that indicates how easily something burns ('Class 4" being the worst). Fire resistance on the other hand is a term that relates to a construction's ability to resist the passage of fire (e.g. a wall, floor, door etc). The fact that a material is "Class 1" doesn't necessarily have any bearing on its fire resistance performance. For example, PVC cladding can be obtained to a 'Class 1' rating, but it wouldn't contribute much to the wall's fire resistance performance at all.

What is the difference between fire protection and fire resistance?

Fire resistance refers to the durability of the material under fire conditions, such as a wall, floor or windows, which may prevent the spread of fire. Fire protection refers to the combination of systems that prevent fire from occurring or spreading, which could include fire resistant materials as well as sprinkler systems, separation of hazards, fire extinguishers, alarms, and so forth.

How do you get dragonfable to stop making your attacks negative?

Hello! In dragonfable, monster have resistance. Say a boss have -10 fire resistance. This means if you use a fire weapon against that monster you will attack negative. So be sure to check the resistance and change weapon if your fighting against a monster!
