Much of the information accumulated on the fire resistance of 'dividing` elements can be utilized in the design of buildings for fire safety, if the fire tolerance values are converted into fire resistances. Three methods of conversion, one based on the concept of equal temperature- time areas, the second on the concept of equal maximum temperatures, and the third, the Law method, are critically examined and handy conversion tools presented. In the case of the 'key` elements of buildings, basing the fire safety design on fire resistance information is not recommended.
