IAAI-FIT Test Vocab
Absolute Temperature - ANS-a temperature measured in Kelvins (K) or Rankines (R)
Accelerant - ANS-a fuel or oxidizer goal used to provoke a fireplace or growth its spread
Accidental Fire - ANS-an unplanned fireplace or a hazard occurrence bobbing up from
unintentional occasions
Active Fire Protection System - ANS-a mechanical or electric powered system that turns on
beneath fire instances (ex. Detectors and sprinklers)
Ambient - ANS-some thing/someones surrounding environment
Ampacity - ANS-the most current in amperes that a conductor can continuously bring without
going over it's max temperature score
Ampere - ANS-a unit of electric cutting-edge equal to at least one coulomb (6.24x1018
electrons) in line with 2nd
Approved - ANS-applicable
Arc - ANS-a excessive-temperature, glowing electric powered particle (spark) discharged
throughout a circuit hole or through a gas
Arc Mapping - ANS-evaluating circuit configurations for records about what might have
brought on the fire
Arc Site - ANS-the location on a conductor that receives damage from arcing
Arcing thru char - ANS-when arcing is conducted thru char
Area of Origin - ANS-the geographic location of a fire scene wherein the point of beginning is
located
Arrow Pattern - ANS-a fire pattern on the go section of burned timber structural additives,
seems like a triangle with the bottom being most burned out and the top being least burned
out
Arson - ANS-the crime of maliciously or intentionally beginning a fireplace or explosion
Autoignition - ANS-heated combustion without a spark or flame
Autoignition Temperature - ANS-lowest temperature that a material can start ignition
spontaneously
, Backdraft/Smoke Explosion - ANS-a deflagration explosion caused by including oxidation to
an oxygen deficient fireplace
Bead - ANS-a blob of re-solidified metal that become melted by arcing at the end of circuit
conductor remains
Blast Pressure Front - ANS-the high stress leading fringe of explosion that reasons damage
by pushing out and displacing the normal ambient strain
BLEVE - ANS-Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion
Bonding - ANS-the everlasting becoming a member of of steel elements that creates a
conductive and non-stop (secure) route for electrical currents
British Thermal Unit (BTU) - ANS-a unit of power, 1055 joules of electricity
Calcination of Gypsum - ANS-the discharge of chemically bound water from gypsum by way
of hearth that effects in a pattern (looks like one-of-a-kind ranges of ordinary wall burn harm,
see fire styles segment)
Calorie - ANS-a unit of strength, 4.184 joules of electricity
Cause - ANS-the instances, conditions and marketers that delivered about a fireplace or
explosion and its influences
Ceiling jet/Ceiling layer/Upper layer - ANS-: the thin layer of warm gases that paperwork in
the top of a room due to convective heat pushing up
Char - ANS-carbon cloth that has been burned to the point of blackening
Char blisters - ANS-the alligator pores and skin searching sample/cracks on burned carbon
materials
Clean burn - ANS-areas wherein fire temperature either burned away soot or avoided soot
deposits from forming
Combustible - ANS-capable of undergoing combustion
Combustible Gas Indicator - ANS-gadget that indicates the presence of ignitable vapors
(sniffer
Combustible liquid - ANS-a liquid with a flashpoint between one hundred-200℉
Combustion - ANS-the process of oxidation taking place at a fast enough charge to produce
high enough warmness for ignition one-of-a-kind than hearth?
