Calculation of PFP ThicknessSaturday, April 22, 2023
The thickness of fire protection required is determined by:
1. Duration
2. Critical Steel Temperature
3. Steel section size and type
Hp/A ratio
4. Thickness stated in the local or international approval
SI Units:
Hp/A =
M/D =
A/V =
Imperial (US) Units:
W/D =
A/P =
Heated Perimeter
Cross Section Area=
metres
metres²= m-1 or /m
Heated Perimeter
Weight of section= inches
Pounds/foot= lb/ft/in
Heated Perimeter =Square inches =Cross Section Area

All express the relationship between the amount of steel capable of absorbing heat to the area of steel surface exposed to the fire.
Heated Surface Area=
metres²
metres³= m-1 or /m
Volume of Steel
Mass of Section
Heated Perimeter=
Kilograms / metre
metres= kg/m²
How much PFP do I need?
Hp/A - Section Factors
Cross Sectional
Area (A = m²)
Heated Perimeter (Hp = m)
Low Hp/A = Thinner PFP305 x 305 x 240 kg/m
Hp/A = 1.905m / 0.0305m²Hp/A = 62 m-1
For H120 (400°C): Chartek 7 = 11 mm
High Hp/A = Thicker PFP305 x 305 x 97 kg/m
Hp/A = 1.789m / 0.0123m²Hp/A = 145 m-1
For H120 (400°C): Chartek 7 = 16 mm
How much PFP do I need?
How Hp/A changes with sides exposed to fire.(Example 305 x 305 x240 Kg/m UC)
Note: Cross Sectional Area Remains the same in all cases!
Wall, Floor or Deck Wall, Floor or Deck

How to calculate an Hp/A?
What do I do with my Hp/A?
Example of Certificate of Fire Approval with table of Hp/A v required PFP thickness

What do I do with my Hp/A?
Interchar 963 loadings
What about other section shapes?
Wall, Floor or Deck Wall, Floor or Deck
Decreasing Hp/A = Lower PFP thickness required
