fireproofing Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-11-20 16:50:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't see anything wrong with 'The electrical contractor includes fireproofing of each cavity in building structures’. But maybe that’s just my interpretation of it. cf. 'å tette' in Jan E. Prestesæter's norsk-engelsk teknisk ordbok. |

peer agreement (net): +2fire sealing Explanation: Fireproofing can be lots of things, but "tetting" in this sense most often refers to closing around wall openings, cables, pipes, etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2007-11-25 14:58:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- fireproofing (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireproofing) is a general term for protecting materials etc against fire in many areas. fire sealing (or fire stop - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestop - ) is to close of perforations between building elements such as walls, floors, panels, etc in order to counteract fire moving from building element to building element, or from one "fire cell" to another. But who reads what we translate anyway? Reference: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4302917.html |
