Fire ratings are generally based upon testing of a structural sample. A galvanized sheet, by itself, would not have a fire rating. If combined with gypsum or other materials in an assembly, it could be subjected to the standard tests and rated for use in that configuration.
That said, 1.5mm sheet steel can be used in assemblies rated 1 to 4 hours.
It is the amount of fire a sheet metal can withstand.
When an interior wall is constructed, sheet rock or some other material that covers the wall should have a rating. A 5/8" layer of sheet rock has a smoke & fire rating of 30 min. when both sides of the wall are finished out that will give the wall a 1hr. rating. Then you go from there, if there are two sheets on each side it would be a 2hr. barrier. Type your answer here...

No, the rating is based on the assembly
Resistance means barrier to something. And I hope you know what is fire?ans2. Fire Resistance Rating is a formal measurement of fire rating. It is used to provide a relative rating for fire resistance for doors, walls, etc.The rating is measured in a standard test rig, and with a 'standardized fire'. These are laid out in various standards.Ratings are commonly given in 30 minute increments, as anything between these intervals is unimportant in the context.Some rating numbers however refer to the temperature profile against time, of the fire.

Unprotected steel is generally not recognized as having a fire resistance rating.
Steel structural elements are often encased in gypsum layers and galvanized sheet metal or stainless steel. Some elements are simply sprayed with adhesive-based, fire-retardant insulation. Protection can vary from none to over 5 hours, with respect to standardized testing procedures for sample structures.
Type of fire it will extinguish, and the capacity of the exinguisher
Everywhere has a fire protection class rating. Even if there is no fire department within 5 miles of your house you would have a protection class of 10.
Either one CAN be used. Galvanized would be preferred in an environment high in chlorine or corrosive materials. Normally though, black pipe, or carbon steel, is used for fire protection because it is much cheaper.
