What's the difference between refractory metal raceway and fireproof raceway?

What's the difference between refractory metal raceway and fireproof raceway?

Answer:

Refractory metal is used to lay and control cables, while trunking is used to lay wires and communication cables; refractory metal is bigger (200*100-600*200), while trunking is smaller; refractory metal has bigger turning radius, while trunking mostly turns a right angle; refractory metal has larger span, while trunking has smaller span; their fixation and installation ways are also different.
Fire protection slot won't cause fire accident under the temperature of no more than 200℃. While the refractory cable tray is made with refractory materials and can withstand high temperature of 800℃ with no fire accident happening. The test standard depends on the maximum temperature it can endure. Hope it's helpful for you!
Hello, I'm very glad to answer your question. As far as I know, anti-fire groove box is made by the polymerization reaction of high polymer material and halogen-free flame retardant polymeric material. It possesses excellent mechanical properties and environmental protection property, nice appearance, and diversified colors. As a kind of fully enclosed cable bridge, it is applicable for communication signals, and laying of computer cables and control cables of highly sensitive systems. When used in heavy corrosive environment and outdoor dust environment, it has good protective effect on cables. It boasts many advantages of fire retardance (fire resistance rating is above B grade), corrosion resistance, anti-aging, high strength, light weight, and easy installation. Hope my answer is helpful for you. Hope my answer can be accepted.
In terms of fire protection, fireproof raceway means that it is composed of the material with certain combustion performance and generally made of flame retardant or incombustible?material. While for the refractory raceway, according to GA 479-2004 "Fire Resistant Cable Tray", its most important properties are: Fire resistance of the cable tray should meet with the following requirements: The cable tray of I grade fire resistance should keep the working time more than 60min, of II grade fire resistance should keep the working time more than 45min, and of III grade fire resistance should keep the working time more than 30min. Hope this is helpful for you! Thank you.
