The higher the number, the more heat-resistant safe is.

Types

There are two types of fire safes, data storage and document storage. Both are effective, but offer varying degrees of fire resistance. A fire safety designed to protect paper documents from fire and smoke damage kept the internal temperature of the safe below 170 degrees Celsius. Moreover, from computers, disks and video tapes melt at a lower temperature than paper burns, a database or fireproof media safe internal temperature remains below 52 degrees Celsius .
