Temperature curve
The temperature curve that is used for the determination of the temperature of gas in time may be selected here. Following options are available:
- Standard temperature curve - nominal curve defined in EN 13501-2. This curve describes the fully developed fire.
- External fire curve - nominal curve intended for the outside of separating external walls that can be exposed to fire from different parts of the facade (directly from the inside of the corresponding fire compartment or from a compartment situated below or adjacent to the respective external wall)
- Hydrocarbon fire curve - nominal curve for representing effects of a hydrocarbon type fire
- Parametric temperature curve - this curve is effected by the physical parameters that describe the conditions in the fire compartment.
The expressions that represent temperature curves are described in the chapter "Temperature development" of theoretical help.
