Fire load
Under fire load (also fire load ) are understood in fire protection and safety technology , the heat involved in the combustion of objects can be created.
The determination of the fire load in general accordance with DIN 18230th This is mainly for the industrial relevance, since very different for commercial used buildings such as factories and warehouses fire loads arise. In contrast, the fire loads of most other building types are relatively predictable and are adequately taken into account in existing fire protection guidelines.
The fire load present in a building , aircraft or ship or in their fire compartments plays an important role in the risk of fire . The amount of fire load ( kilograms ), its calorific value ( MJ / kg ) and the fire behavior of a material influence the duration and intensity of a fire. The existing fire load can be determined by simply adding up the various fire loads in a fire compartment.
In terms of building physics , the fire load is the amount and type of combustible materials. Usually, fire exposure is understood to mean the calorific value related to the floor plan of the building, i.e. energy / m² ( kWh / m² )
