and the whole building so this openings must be protected from
fire propagation by filling it with FireStop material.
FireStop is a
system not a material
Because there is no material
capable of stopping fire at all conditions but we should choose
the suitable material according to factors affecting fire
propagation such as
-
Fire rated time (there are
materials have the ability to stop fire for one hour only
others for two and three hours.
-
Place of application wall or
floor and the type of it (Concrete, wood…etc).
-
Type of penetrations
(Conduit, cables ….etc).
-
Opening dimensions (there
are materials useful for small dim others for large).
