This review aims to provide additional context to the historical narrative of the development of the standard temperature–time heating curve used for the determination of the fire resistance of structural elements. While historical narratives of the development of the standard temperature–time heating curve exist, there are portions of the timeline with missing contributions and contributions deserving of additional examination. Herein, additional newly available contributions (owing to recent digitization efforts) from the original standard development cycle not distinctly covered by existing historical narratives are introduced and reviewed. Though some engineers have long been recognized for their contributions to the curve’s development, lesser-recognized influences are re-examined. These include contributions to fire resistance testing from Sylvanus Reed, that are acknowledged for the first time in a contemporary light. Practitioners will find discussion from the temperature–time heating curve’s development period that is useful for current philosophical discussions pertaining to the curve’s use for combustible material testing. This study identifies that no currently available historical literature can support the definition of the temperature points which describe the standard temperature–time heating curve. This reinforces contemporary discussion that the heating curve lacks scientific basis in its representation of a real fire.

结构标准温度-时间加热曲线的历史叙述

本综述旨在为用于确定结构构件耐火性的标准温度-时间加热曲线发展的历史叙述提供额外的背景。虽然存在标准温度-时间加热曲线发展的历史叙述，但仍有部分时间线缺少贡献和贡献值得额外检查。在此，介绍和审查了来自原始标准开发周期的其他新可用贡献（由于最近的数字化努力）没有明确涵盖在现有历史叙述中。尽管一些工程师长期以来因其对曲线发展的贡献而受到认可，但人们重新审视了鲜为人知的影响。其中包括 Sylvanus Reed 对耐火测试的贡献，这是第一次在当代视野中得到承认。从业人员将从温度-时间加热曲线的发展期中找到讨论，这对于当前有关曲线用于可燃材料测试的哲学讨论很有用。该研究表明，目前没有任何可用的历史文献可以支持描述标准温度-时间加热曲线的温度点的定义。这强化了当代的讨论，即加热曲线在表示真实火灾时缺乏科学依据。从业人员将从温度-时间加热曲线的发展期中找到讨论，这对于当前有关曲线用于可燃材料测试的哲学讨论很有用。该研究表明，目前没有任何可用的历史文献可以支持描述标准温度-时间加热曲线的温度点的定义。这强化了当代的讨论，即加热曲线在表示真实火灾时缺乏科学依据。从业人员将从温度-时间加热曲线的发展期中找到讨论，这对于当前有关曲线用于可燃材料测试的哲学讨论很有用。该研究表明，目前没有可用的历史文献可以支持描述标准温度-时间加热曲线的温度点的定义。这强化了当代的讨论，即加热曲线在表示真实火灾时缺乏科学依据。
