Q

A test that is required for all carpet sold and manufactured in the United States. It has sample of the carpet is placed in a draft protected cube and held in place with a metal plate with a 8 inch diameter hole. A timed methenamine pill is placed in the center and lighted. If the sample burns to within 1 inch of the metal plate, it fails the test

The period of time an opening assembly, such as a door window, can contain a fire or maintain its integrity, or both, when tested in accordance with NFPA 252 for doors. And assembly that requires a fire protection rating must with stand for exposure and thermal shock as wooden assembly that required a fire resistance rating, but it need not withstand heat transfer mission as well as, columns, and floors do
Fire protection rating
37
Glazing with either a fire protection rating or a fire resistance rating
Fire rated glazing
38
 The property of a material or simply to a standard resist the spread of fire or give protection from it
Fire resistance
39
If you heard of time a building components such as a wall, floor, roof, beam or column can find a fire and maintain it structural integrity, or both when tested in accordance with the codes. This is different from the fire protection rating, which involves protected openings assemblies
