What are the fire resistance ratings of the glass partition?
The glass partition system is composed entirely of metal structures, glass, color plate and other materials which also has fire resistance capacity. When the inner structure of the system is steel structure, the fire resistance of which is 30 mins, 60mins or even longer. The fireproof glass is a special glass which is able to maintain its integrity and insulation in a fire resistance test. According to fire resistance performance, it can be divided into three categories: Class A: The fireproof glass which meets demands of fire integrity and fire insulation at the same time. This glass has advantages of excellent transmittance, fire-proofing(smoke resistance, fire insulation, and blocking heat radiation), sound insulation and impact resistance. It can be applied to architectural ornaments, fire resistant timber doorsets with steel structure, windows, upper beam, partition walls, daylighting roofs, ceiling screens, perspective floor and other building components which need transparency and fireproofing. Class B: The fireproof glass which meets demands of fire integrity and thermal radiation intensity at the same time. This glass is mostly composite fireproof glass which has advantages of transmittance, fireproofing, and smoke resistance. Class C: The fireproof glass which only meets demand of fire integrity. This glass has advantages of transmittance, fireproofing, smoke resistance and high intensity. It can be applied to fireproof glass partition walls, fire windows and with no requirements on outdoor curtain walls, etc. The fireproof glass can be classified as composite fireproof glass and single chip fire-proof glass in terms of structure.
When the inner structure of the system is steel structure, the fire resistance of which is 30 mins, 60mins or even longer. The partitions in the usual sense are walls that have a distance to the ceiling. The fixed partitions directly touches the ceiling are partition walls which should be required in accordance to the specifications of walls. If the partition is far from the ceiling, the fire protection requirements are relatively low. Partitions which combustion performances are no less than B1 level are safe enough, while partitions of places such as shopping malls have to reach A-level in terms of combustion performance.
Hello, friend. The glass partition system is composed entirely of metal structures, glass, color plate and other materials which also has fire resistance capacity. When the inner structure of the system is steel structure, the fire resistance of which is 30 mins, 60mins or even longer.
