The TPP rating is calculated from a mathematical formula that relates the heat transferred through the garment material to the amount of energy that would be required to cause a second degree burn. For example, if a particular fabric has a TPP rating of 35, it takes 17.5 seconds until a second-degree burn occurs in a flashover situation. The TPP rating is divided in half to determine the number of seconds until the human tissue reaches a second-degree burn. TPP ratings are an indication of how long a suit will protect you before you would incur a second degree burn. While racing suits are most commonly identified by their SFI or FIA ratings, the TPP rating is the best measure of a particular racing suits protection level.
