Fire resistive rating
Usually expressed in the form of a time period rating (how long a material can withstand being burned)
Fire resistive rating
___is the length of time a material can withstand being burned
whIch may be one-nour, two-nours, tree-nours, tour-nours, etc
Fire-Resistive Time Period Rating
