    Question Fire Rated Walls - Graphical Representation

    Is there a national standard or an industry accepted standard for the way fire rated walls are to be represented? Are the linetypes standardized? Just as plant piping has different color codes assigned to them, do the fire ratings for walls have a similar color code? For presentation drawings, all of the various fire rated walls are currently assigned a solid hatch pattern of some "random" color. Is there a standard for this?

    I'd be interested to know this as well. We've had two life safety companies prepare drawings for us, and they used hidden linetypes at different scales to represent rating, but, the two companies used different scales.
    I've modified them to be different colors and linetypes for inhouse use, not wanting any confusion upon printing.
