Principles and Practice of Engineering PE Fire Protection Reference
PE Fire Protection Reference Handbook that you use on exam day will be very similar to this one. However, pages not needed to solve exam questions—such as the cover and introductory material—may not be included in the exam version. In addition, NCEES will periodically revise and update the handbook, and each PE Fire Protection exam will be administered using the updated version.
The Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) Fire Protection exam computer-based, and NCEES will supply all the resource material that you may use during the exam. Reviewing the PE Fire Protection Reference Handbook before exam day will help you become familiar with the charts, formulas, tables, and other reference information provided. You will not be allowed to bring your personal copy of the PE Fire Protection Reference Handbook into the exam room. Instead, the computer-based exam will include a PDF version of the handbook for your use. No printed copies of the handbook will be allowed in the exam room.

Material compatibility is of importance for proper functionality of all systems and equipment. Information on oxidizing chemicals, combustible chemicals, unstable chemicals, water- and air-reactive chemicals, and corrosive chemicals are available in many sources including installation standards.
The two most important fire effects that alter a structure’s resistance from that at ambient are the high-temperature degradation of its mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) and thermally induced strains. These cause softening, weakening, and damage to even noncombustible construction materials and directly lead to a progressive reduction of load-carrying resistance at higher temperatures.
