General Guidelines
N
umerous research programmes show that
some types of fully stressed steel sections can
achieve a 30 minute fire resistance without
any additional protection materials being
applied. However, these apply to a limited
number of steel sections only, based on the
allowable Section Factor Hp/A. Section Factor
is a common term used in fire protection for steelwork and is
discussed in detail below.
Typical building regulations usually require certain elements
of structure to be fire resistant for more than 30 minutes and
up to a specified minimum period of time. The thickness of
any fire protection material depends on a number of factors,
such as:
• Duration of fire resistance specified
• Type of protection used, e.g. board, paint, spray etc
• Perimeter of the part of steel section exposed to fire
• Shape and dimensions of the steel section
To determine how these various factors affect the fire
resistance, all Promat products and systems have been tested
at nationally accredited laboratories around the world to
a variety of standards, e.g. BS 476: Part 21, AS 1530: Part 4,
ASTM E119, BS EN 13381 and EN 13381-4.
Tests carried out in accordance with the above standards are
performed on both loaded and unloaded beams and columns
which are clad with fire protection material. Steel surface
temperatures are monitored with thermocouples to assess
the performance of the cladding. Steel that is fully stressed in
accordance with the design guides BS 449 or BS 5950: Part

The table below shows how the strength of steel reduces
as temperatures rise, i.e. variation of effective yield strength

For example, at 700°C, the effective yield strength of Grade 43
(S275) steel is 0.23 x 275 = 63.25N/mm2.
A range of unloaded sections are also tested to obtain data
for analytical calculation, to measure exactly how much
protection is needed for the most common steel sections and
for providing fire resistance for different time periods.
IMPORTANT: When using Promat protection systems for
structural steelwork, conservative limiting temperatures of
550°C and 620°C are referred to for columns and beams
respectively and are in general use throughout this brochure.
Apart from temperature data, the fire tests also need to
demonstrate the ability of cladding to remain in place,
usually described as the “stickability” of the material, for the
maximum duration for which the protection may be required.
The availability of thin materials and the low weight of
Promat systems, plus the possibility of prefabrication, ensure
maximum cost efficiency.
 STRUCTURAL STEEL SECTION FACTOR
General Guidelines
Section Factor
There are different test methods. These testing methods can
be divided into 3 groups compared to the section factor
definition.
Group 1: EN (Europe) and BS (UK): Section Factor = Hp/A (or A/V)
Group 2: ASTM (US): Section Factor = W/D (H and I-sections)
Group 3: ASTM (US): Section Factor = A/P (square and circular)
The correct definition and calculation of the section factor are
very important to define the needed thickness for all the fire
protection materials (board, paint or spray).
Section Factor (Hp/A)
The degree of fire protection provided depends on the Hp/A Section
Factor for the steel section. The Hp/A factor is a function of the area
of the steel exposed to the fire and the mass of the steel section.
The higher the Hp/A, the faster the steel section heats up and so the
greater the thickness of fire protection material required.
It should be noted that in European design standards, the section
factor is presented as A/V which has the same numerical value as
Hp/A. A/V measures the rate of temperature increase of a steel cross
section by the ratio of the heated surface area to the volume. It is likely
to gradually replace the use of Hp/A.
Depending on type of material used for protection, the calculation
method for Hp/A value may differ. Generally there are two methods of
construction for the protection materials: box protection and profile
protection.
Box Protection Using Board Materials
For box protection, Hp is the sum of the inside dimensions of the
smallest possible rectangular or square encasement of the steel
section. One exception is circular hollow sections. See page 5.
Where a steel section abuts or is built into a fire resisting wall or floor,
the surface in contact with or the surface within the wall or floor is
ignored when calculating Hp.
However, the value A is always the total cross sectional area of the
whole steel section.
Profile Protection Using Spray/Paint Materials
Encasements following the profile of the steel section will generally
have a higher Hp/A section factor than a box encasement. One
exception is circular hollow sections. See page 5.
The serial size and mass per metre of most steel sections are available
in tables from steel manufacturers. Sometimes such tables also
provide Hp/A values calculated for three or four sided box protection.
Following is an example of a calculation for a steel beam section of
406mm x 178mm x 54kg/m serial size to be encased on 3 sides using
box protection method:
Serial size = 406mm x 178mm
Actual size = 402.6mm x 177.6mm
Hp = B + 2D
= 177.6 + 2 x 402.6
= 982.8mm (0.9828m)
A = 68.4cm² (0.00684m²)
Hp/A = 0.9828 ÷ 0.00684
= 144.7m-1
≈ 144m-1
The value of A, the cross sectional area, can be obtained either from
steelwork tables or by accurate measurement. However, if the mass
per metre is known then the Hp/A value can be calculated as follows:
Hp = 7850 x Hp
A W
Where W = Mass of per metre (kg/m)
Where 7850 = Nominal density of steel
Sample calculation using the previous example:
Hp = 7850 x 0.9828
A 54
= 142.87m-1
≈ 143m-1
The shape of the steel section can also play an important role when
determining the required thickness of a protection material. Following
are some notes for reference. For details on steel profiles not outlined
here, please consult Promat.
Castellated Sections / Cellform Beams
These steel members heat up more quickly than the original
section from which they were produced. Common practice
is that protection thickness should therefore be 20% greater
than those calculated from the Hp/A value of the original
section from which the castellated section is formed.
However, it should be noted that the above information is
now superseded by a new, more scientific approach for the
protection of castellated sections. The following is taken from
“Fire Protection for Structural Steel in Buildings”, 4th Edition,
published by the ASFP (see www.asfp.org.uk).
The recently amended method of obtaining the section
factor (Hp/A) for castellated sections is now specific. In fact,
the recommendation from the Steel Construction Institute,
published as RT 1085, for castellated sections and cellular
beams manufactured from all rolled steel sections and from
welded plate, the Section Factor for passive protection system
is calculated as:
Section factor (m-1) = 1400/t
Where t = the thickness (mm) of the lower
steel web and applies for beams made
from all steel rolled sections and from
welded steel plate.
It should be noted that there are a number of conditions
attached to the use of this calculation method, which are
detailed in the ASFP “Yellow Book” publication.
Individual protection products, normally quite similar in
performance when compared on the basis of rolled steel
sections, may require radically different thicknesses for the
same cellular beam.
Structural Hollow Section
The same thickness of board materials can be used on square,
rectangular and circular hollow sections as on ‘I’ sections of
the same Hp/A value.

 STRUCTURAL STEEL SECTION FACTOR
General Guidelines

Bracing
Bracing is included in a structure to give resistance to wind
forces and provide overall stiffness. Masonry walls and steel
cladding contribute to a structure’s rigidity but these are rarely
taken into account in design. Also, the probability of a major
fire occurrence concurrent with maximum wind load is remote
(see BS 5950: Part 8). It seems unreasonable therefore to
apply the 550°C steel temperature criteria to bracing. While
each case must be judged on individual merits, protection to
bracing is generally not necessary, but where it is required the
Hp/A value of the bracing section or 200m-1 should be used,
whichever is the lesser.
Floors
Where beams are wholly within the cavity of a timber floor
protected by a PROMATECT®-H ceiling, test evidence shows
that the cavity air temperature of the floor is such that the
beam will be adequately protected to the same fire resistance
by the ceiling that protects the floor. Where the beam is wholly
or partly below the line of the PROMATECT®-H ceiling then Hp
should be based upon the portion of the steel beam that is
below ceiling level.
Beams Supporting Composite Floors With Profiled Metal
Decking

Lattice Members A series of fire resistance tests has demonstrated that it is

As the determination of the protection necessary to protect
lattice members requires broad consideration of the lattice
design, please consult Promat concerning such steel sections.
Partially Exposed Members
Where columns or beams are partly built into or are in close
contact with walls or floors, the protection afforded to the
steelwork by the wall or floor should be taken into account. In
those instances where the steel section sits within or against
masonry or concrete constructions, this will give protection to
the adjacent surface of the steelwork. Thus, for the purpose of
determining the heated perimeter (Hp), this should be taken
as only that part of the steel section which is exposed. It should
be noted that where the steelwork penetrates both sides of a
fire resisting construction, e.g. a wall protruding into a space
which has an open end, simultaneous attack from fire on both
sides may occur on columns partially exposed within the wall.
In such an instance, the section factor should be calculated
based upon the sum of the areas exposed to fire on either
side of the wall and the total volume of the steel section.
Note that separating elements are generally required to offer a
performance including the insulation criteria of 140°C or 180°C.
Therefore, where a steel section passes through a separating
element and is exposed on both sides, consideration must
also be given to providing sufficient protection not only to
maintain the temperature of the steel section below 550°C
but also to ensure the surface temperature on the unexposed
face does not exceed the 140°C or 180°C insulation criteria
of the separating element. Due allowance for any expected
building movement should also be considered.
External Lightweight Walls
Where the structural elements form portal legs supporting a
lightweight external wall, the insulation performance required
of the wall may contribute to the protection of any column
flange falling within the thickness of the wall. In such cases,
please consult Promat to confirm the board thickness and
which areas of such columns should be protected.
not always necessary to fill the void formed between the
top flange of a beam and the underside of a profiled steel
deck. Recommendations based on the research have been
published by the Steel Construction Institute (UK) and for
decks running perpendicular to the beams, are as follows:
Dovetail Decks
Voids may be left unfilled for all fire resistance period, unless
a fire resisting wall or partition is located beneath the beam.
Trapezoidal Decks
Generally, voids may be left unfilled for up to 60 minutes fire
resistance. Also, for 90 minutes if the board thickness used
is appropriate for the Hp/A + 15%. Care should be taken to
ensure that if the voids are unfilled, the main encasement will
need to be adequately secured. For periods over 90 minutes
the voids should be filled.
In all instances, voids should also be filled if a fire wall is
located beneath the beam, for all fire resistance periods.
These recommendations apply to board encasements.
The trapezoidal steel deck slab should be designed to act
structurally with the beam. If this is not the case, the voids
should be filled for all fire resistance periods.
Calculation W/D
In the ASTM (US) they use a similar concept to calculate the
section factor (W/D), but they use different parameters to
show the relationship between exposed surface and weight.
W/D is used in ASTM (US) for only H-section and Angle section.
Calculation of W/D is based on the ratio between weight and
heated perimeter surface.
W = Weight per linear foot (lb)
D Heated perimeter (inch)
Visual 1 - full exposed beam (not boxed)

Internal Lightweight Partitions/Walls

Where a column or beam is built into a fire resistant lightweight
wall or partition, the protection to the steelwork can generally

be designed on the assumption that only one side of the wall
or partition will be exposed to fire at any one time. The wall or
partition should be adequately secured to the column in such
a way as to ensure the wall or partition will not apply stress on
the protection encasement. Due allowance for any expected
building movement should be considered.
