Preface

This study report examines the fire load of the factory of M/s colour Flex
limited. Three basic methods are used to estimate the combustible energy
content of a particular area. These are
direct measurement of mass, with conversion based on the net heat of
combustion;
direct measurement of volume (with conversion based on a combination
of density and net heat of combustion); and
energy release measurement by calorimetry of an item sufficiently similar
to the fuel package.
The NFPA Standard 557 proposed fire load survey inventory method was
used for determination of fire load in this study report.
The Management of M/s colour flex fully cooperated during the survey for fire
load determination and provided all the detailed documents and factory visit of
each and every corner.
M/s Jogal safety Tech. Private Limited, sincerely thanks the site management
for enthusiastic cooperation extended.

calculation of material of M/s Colour Flex

Fire Load density of M/s Colour flex has been calculated by the
NFPA 557 formula as given below:

Fire load Density Comes out to be

Average fire load density = 3224MJ/SqM+ 3.224 MJ/SqM
=3227.224 MJ/SqM

Calculation for total combustibles for content fire load

Content Fire Load comes out to be

Combustible heat energy in the factory = 29085460 MJ
Floor area in square meter =

9019.5 SqM

Content Fire load =3224MJ/SqM)

Fixed Fire load due to cabling+ Furniture+ wood for
construction is assumed to be considered to 1/1000 of the fixed
Fixed Fire load hence is =3.224 MJ/SqM
