Fire Load Calculator

Fire Load :

It is the Total Amount of heat energy that can be released by all combustible materials in a given space during a fire. This fire load is very important factor in calculating in fire safety engineering and helps to find out fire risk, fire resistance requirement and in fire fighting strategies.

Formula of Fire Load:

Fire Load Density (FLD):

∑ (W_i × C_i)
Floor Area (m²)

• ∑ = This is the sum symbol
• wi = Weight of the combustible material (kg )
• Ci = Calorific value of Material ( MJ/kg )

Factor Affecting Fire Load

• Fire Load Affect by type and quantity of combustibles material.
• It is arrangement & Stacking of materials.
• Ventilation and fire protection Systems.
• and materials of building and its insulation.
