A relationship between resisting moment and the structure of an automatic closure device is introduced for analyzing the effect of opening and closing condition on various fire door sizes in the pressurized room for smoke control system. The larger the size of fire door is, the more force is required for reaching to opening and closing conditions and there exists the design range of fire door in the pressurized room reflecting the closing time of fire door, rotative velocity, a relation between rotative angle and force and the efficiency of the automatic closure device.
