What is a temperature rise door?

Georgia-Pacific Building Products FAQ - Frequently Asked Que...
A fire door that by code, meets a maximum unexposed surface temperature requirement at a specified time interval during the fire test. (i.e. 250 deg @ 30 minutes)

Question #4: What is a temperature rise door?

Untitled Document
Answer: Temperature rise doors are used in stairwells. In the case of fire on one side of the door, the unexposed side of the door must remain below 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. This type of door is required on all fire rated stairwell doors (SBC 705.1.3.4). The reason for this requirement is to protect escaping occupants. A standard metal door exposed to fire can reach 1200 degrees F on the unexposed side, and this amount of heat could cause clothes on an exiting occupant to catch on fire.

Why does the system (and component) temperature sometimes rise?

Acousti Products - FAQ's
Acoustic foams, which are thermally insulating - may act to insulate components so that heat is not so easily transmitted to the case sides and top and bottom for dissipation to the outside. This may cause slight increases in temperature. The configuration of the materials around the case interior and components may also be such that airflow pathways become more tortuous. This is only likely where materials have been fitted incorrectly so that they obstruct airflow - which is NOT recommended.

What is meant by a transformer's temperature rise?

Frequently Asked Questions - Jefferson Electric
A transformer’s rated temperature rise (degrees Celsius) is the average temperature of the transformer’s windings over an ambient temperature of 40°C. In other words, the average winding temperature = ambient temperature rise.

How do I know when the temperature rise is too high?

Frequently Asked Questions - Jefferson Electric
Touch is a poor indicator of proper transformer operating temperature. Properly designed transformers can reach 50°C (122°F) above ambient temperature. In an ambient temperature of 20°C (60°F), the total temperature can reach 70°C (190°F), which is too hot to touch. Thermometers are the best way to determine the temperature.

Question: What's the big deal about 160°F temperature rise/discharge temperature?

Cambridge Engineering FAQs | Gas-Fired Heaters
Answer: It is the industry's highest rating for this type of space heating equipment and allows us to deliver the maximum amount of heat with the minimum amount of outside air. The maximum 160°F temperature rise/discharge temperature rating is crucial because it translates into lower horsepower motors, less outside air and reduced energy costs.

Is pertussis reporting on the rise in the U.S.?

Vaccines: VPD-VAC/Pertussis/FAQs
increasing number of cases of pertussis have been reported to the CDC since the 1980s. The increases are greatest among adolescents (aged 10-19 years), but an increase is also seen among infants younger than 5 months old. The reported increases may reflect greater awareness of pertussis to some degree. Even with the increase in reports among adolescents and very young infants, the number of reported cases is more than 97 % lower than in the pre-vaccine era.

What makes the sap rise?

Frequently Asked Questions
During warm periods when temperatures rise above freezing, pressure develops in the tree. This pressure causes the sap to flow out of the tree through a wound or tap hole. During cooler periods when temperatures fall below freezing, suction develops, drawing water into the tree. This replenishes the sap in the tree, allowing it to flow again during the next warm period. Sap flows through a portion of the outer tree trunk called sapwood.

Will the new fee continue to rise?

Stanford Residential Computing: For Students: Services: In-R...
The fee increased (as planned) $2/quarter in 2006-07 (to $50), and again in 2007-08 to $52. At this point we hope to have reached cost recovery for both the infrastructure costs and ResComp costs. Future increases, though difficult to predict exactly, should be only incremental.

Why do we have to fill in temperature charts?

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Women experience significant hormonal changes throughout their cycle. With female conception care, the therapist asks you to complete the charts to find out how your hormones are improving each month, and she then uses the charts to know which herbs to choose when adjusting your formula.

Why take a temperature from the ear?

Thermometry - FAQ's and What you should know about fevers
The Omron Instant Ear Thermometer is less threatening to a child than a rectal thermometer. It's faster, safer and easier to use than an oral thermometer. Measurements can even be taken while a child is sleeping. For adults, the Omron Instant Ear Thermometer offers fast convenient, accurate readings without the wait of a conventional thermometer. A fever is when the body's temperature is higher than normal due to an infection. The fever is usually caused by a virus or bacteria.

Can I show up at the door and still get in?

Zion LAN :: FAQ
Registering early costs less and will guarantee you a seat. If you show up at the door, the ticket price will be higher, and we cannot guarantee that you will have a seat. It is recommended that you sign up in advance. In all honesty, there's a very slim chance that you'll be able to get a seat the day of the event.

For every unit of blood transfused, how much is the hemoglobin expected to rise?

Highlights and FAQ's
For each unit of packed cells that is transfused into a patient who is not bleeding, the patient's hemoglobin concentration can be expected to increase by 1 g/dL. This ratio does not hold true if the patient is actively bleeding.

For every unit of blood transfused, how much is the hematocrit expected to rise?

Highlights and FAQ's
Since a hematocrit is generally 3x the Hgb plus or minus 3, the hematocrit reading should increase by 2-3% for each unit transfused. Refer to Hematology FAQ's about the relationship between hemoglobin and hematocrit. Two units are usually sufficiently to increase clotting factory activity by 15-20% in a patient with diminished clotting capacity. This pertains to Prothrombin and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time.
