Construction Types
A structure with protected steel ceiling beams
Most common door used as a means of egress
swinging door
the temperature at which a material can being combustion with piloted ingition
Flashpoint
gases ALWAYS move from a area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure
Boyle's Law
Spontaneous combustion from self-heating is an example of
Chemical energy
Structure with masonry exterior walls
III
A window that has movable panes with a center sash
single/double hung
type of reaction that absorbs energy
endothermic
the thermal layer between the hot gases and cooler air
Neutral Plane
heat transfer caused by movement
convection
Structures that use heavy dimensional lumber
IV
Type of doors that can be released by a fusible link
fire doors
the density of a liquid compared to water
specific density
introducing air into a ventilation-limited fire with a very low thermal layer can cause
Backdraft
friction and compression
mechanical energy
can be further subdivided as either balloon or platform framed
V
a window that has a vertical center sash and opens outward with a crank
casement
products of incomplete combustion
heat and smoke
3 indicators of Flashover
large volume of darkened smoke
Rapidly increasing heat temperature
rollover
heat transfer caused by direct contact
conduction
uses concrete or metal framing with a 2 hour fire resistive rating
II
common interior door for closets
hollow core door
Define AIT
the temperature at which a material can sustain combustion
ventilating a structure in a spot closer to the seat of the fire and NOT controlling the original air inlet can produce
multi-directional flowpaths
heat transfer at even far distance caused by heat and light
radiation
