19、ON OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These tests are applicable to joint systems of various materials and construction that are intended for use in linear openings between adjacent re resistive structures. 1.2 The re endurance ratings for joint systems are intended

20、to register performance during the period of re exposure and are not intended to be interpreted as having determined the acceptability of the joint systems for use before or after re exposure. The intent of these methods is to develop data to assist others in determining the suitability of the joint

21、 systems where re resistance is required. 1.3 These requirements are intended to evaluate the length of time that the types of joint systems specied in 1.1 will contain a re during a predetermined test exposure. The test evaluates the joint systems resistance to heat and, in some instances, to a hos

22、e stream, while carrying an applied load if the assembly is load bearing. The method of testing also includes optional air leakage tests to determine the rate of air leakage through joint systems resulting from a specied air pressure difference applied across the surface of the joint systems. 1.4 Un

23、der these requirements a joint system is subjected to a standard re exposure controlled to achieve specied temperatures throughout a specied time period. This exposure by itself is not intended to be representative of all re conditions; conditions vary with changes in the amount, nature and distribu

24、tion of re loading, ventilation, compartment size and conguration, and heat sink characteristics of the compartment. 1.5 All joint systems are cycled through their intended range of movement prior to re exposure to demonstrate the joint systems range of movement and the impact of the joint system du

25、ring movement on the adjacent re resistive structures. Joint systems are required to be loaded to their designed live load capacity during the re test. For tests of wall-to-wall and head-of-wall joint systems, the re test is followed by the application of a specied standard hose stream. 1.6 These re

26、quirements cover the measurement of the transmission through the joint system of heat and gases sufficiently hot to ignite cotton waste. 1.7 These requirements provide a relative measure of re performance of comparable assemblies under these specied re exposure conditions. Any variation from the con

27、struction or conditions that are tested, such as method of assembly and materials, is not within the scope of this test method. 1.8 Tests for evaluating the suitability of poured or formed-in-place materials for use in joint systems under non-re conditions are found in the Standard Test Method for A

28、dhesion and Cohesion of Elastomeric Joint Sealants Under Cyclic Movement (Hockman Cycle), ASTM C719. 1.9 Tests for evaluating the suitability of joint systems other than those with poured or formed-in-place materials under non-re conditions are found in the Standard Test Method for Cyclic Movement a

30、r determining the hourly re endurance ratings of walls and oors are found in the Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, UL 263. Standard UL 263 shall be permitted to be used to determine the hourly re endurance rating of walls and oors with control joints. 1.11 Tests for det

31、ermining the surface burning characteristics of building materials, based on the rate of ame spread, are found in the Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, UL 723. 1.12 The results of these tests represent one factor in assessing re performance of joint systems

32、. These requirements prescribe a standard re exposure for comparing the performance of joint systems. Application of these test results to predict the performance of actual building construction requires careful evaluation of test data. 1.13 The method of testing also includes optional air leakage t

33、ests to determine the rate of air leakage through re resistive joint systems resulting from a specied air pressure difference applied across the surface of the systems. The results obtained from the optional air leakage tests are expressed in cubic feet per minute (cubic meter per second) per lineal

34、 foot (lineal meter) of opening. The results are intended to develop data to assist authorities having jurisdiction, and others, in determining the acceptability of joint systems with reference to the control of air movement through the assembly. 1.14 The method of testing also includes optional wat

35、er leakage tests to determine the ability of re resistive joint systems to resist the passage of water under a three foot pressure head. This method does not evaluate the ability of uncured joint systems to resist such exposure. 1.15 An L rating may also be established for a re resistive joint syste

36、m. The L rating is based on the amount of air leakage through the test sample. 1.16 A W rating may also be established for a re resistive joint system. The W rating is based on the water resistance of the test sample. 2 Units of Measurement 2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement.

37、Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information.

A control joint system consists of the device or designed construction feature but does not include the re resistive structure in which it is installed. 4.3 FIELD SPLICE

40、 The technique utilized at the point of installation to join two or more lengths of a joint system or a joint system component material. 4.4 JOINT SYSTEM A device or designed construction feature that provides a continuous transition in linear openings between adjacent re resistive structures.

42、 two or more lengths of a joint system component material. 4.7 MAXIMUM JOINT WIDTH The greatest width to which the joint system is designed to extend taking into consideration all axes of movement. 4.8 MINIMUM JOINT WIDTH The narrowest width the joint system is designed to accommodate. 4.9 MOVEMENT

43、CAPABILITY The range of movement that a joint system is designed to accommodate without diminishing its re resistive performance. 4.10 NOMINAL JOINT WIDTH The width of the linear opening specied in practice and in which the joint system is installed. 4.11 STRUCTURE The re resistive oor and/or wall s

45、 OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL TEST ASSEMBLY 5 General 5.1 The structure and joint system are to be representative of the construction for which re endurance rating is desired with respect to materials, workmanship, and details such as dimensions of parts. The joint system is to be inst

46、alled in accordance with the manufacturers specied fabrication procedure for conditions representative of those found in building construction. 5.2 Multiple joint systems shall not be installed and tested simultaneously in a test assembly unless adequate separation is maintained between adjacent joi

47、nt systems to prevent the inuence of one joint system on another. For horizontal assemblies, the minimum separation between adjacent joint opening edges is to be 24 in (610 mm). For vertical assemblies, the minimum separation between adjacent joint opening edges is to be 18 in (457 mm). Reduction of

48、 the minimum separation distances is acceptable when it is demonstrated the reduced separation distance does not affect test results. 5.3 A joint system shall have a manufactured splice and a eld splice tested. When the technique of the manufactured splice is the same as the eld splice, only the eld

49、 splice need be tested. The minimum distance that a splice has to the nearest furnace wall is to be 12 in (305 mm). The minimum separation between splices in a joint system shall be 36 in (914 mm). Reduction of the minimum separation distances is acceptable when it is demonstrated the reduced separation distance does not affect test results. 5.4 A joint system is to be tested at the maximum joint width. 5.5 Joint systems that are designed to be load bearin
