Question

The protective (insulative) quality of structural gear is given as a relative value known as the ____________________ rating.

a) Resistance Index (RI)
b) Insulation Factor (IF)
c) Thermal Protection Performance (TPP)
d) Heat Resistance Index (HRI)

Answer 1

The protective (insulative) quality of structural gear is given as a relative value known as the Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The protective (insulative) quality of structural gear is given as a relative value known as the Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) rating. The TPP rating describes the insulating quality of a wall or similar barrier, in terms of how many Watts move through each square meter of surface area for each 1°C difference in temperature across the barrier.
