18、are in accordance with the provisions of Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, NFPA 90A. Exception No. 3 of Section 2-2.1.2 of NFPA 90A states that pneumatic tubing having the required re-resistant and low-smoke-producing characteristics are capable of being installed in the spac

19、e between the ceiling and the oor or roof above, used as an air handling plenum. 1.2 This test method does not cover the construction requirements for tubes for pressure or other performance requirements. 1.3 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or

20、 different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of re or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent

21、of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for develo

22、pment, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 General 2.1 Units of measurement 2.1.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 Undated references 2.2.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing i

33、y used to support the test specimens is shown in Figures 3.2 and 3.3. The tray is to be fabricated from cold-rolled steel, 50,000 psi minimum (350 MPa) tensile strength. The solid-bar-stock side rails are to be as shown in Section S-S in Figure 3.3. The C-shaped channel rungs are to be as shown in S

34、ection Q-Q in Figure 3.3. Each rung is to be 11-1/4 inches (286 mm) long. The rungs are to be welded to the side rails 9 inches (229 mm) on centers along the tray length. The tray is to consist of one or several sections having a total assembled length of 23.9 feet (7.28 m) and is to be supported wi

35、th 16 supports equally spaced along the length of the tray. The supports (see Figure 3.3) are to be fabricated from bar steel. 3.1.6 One end of the test chamber, designated as the re end in Figure 3.1, is to be provided with two gas burners delivering ames upward that engulf the test specimens. As s

36、hown in Figure 3.2, the burners are to be positioned transversely to each side of the centerline of the furnace so that the ame is evenly distributed over the width of the specimens.

38、RIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3.1.7 The controls used to maintain a constant ow of gas to the burners are to consist of: a) A pressure regulator, b) A gas meter calibrated to read in increments of not more than 0.1 cubic feet (2.88 mm 3 ), c) A gauge to indicate gas pressure in inches of water

39、 (Pa), d) A quick-acting gas-shutoff valve, e) A gas-metering valve, and f) An orice plate in combination with a manometer to assist in maintaining uniform gas-ow conditions. An air intake tted with a vertically sliding shutter extending the entire width of the test chamber is to be provided at the

40、re end. The shutter is to be positioned to provide an air-inlet port as shown in Figure 3.1. 3.1.8 The other end of the test chamber, designated as the vent end in Figure 3.1, is to be tted with a rectangular-to-round transition piece, which in turn is to be tted to a round ue pipe. The movement of

41、air is to be by induced draft. The draft-inducing system is to have a total draft capacity of at least 0.15 inch of water (37 Pa) with the specimens in place, with the shutter at the re end open to its normal position, and with the damper (see Section CC in Figure 3.1) in the wide-open position. A d
