34、l3.1 The fire environment within the furnace is to develop a total heat flux of 65,000 5000 Btu/hft2(20416 kW/m2) and an average temperature of 2000 100F (1093 56C) within 5 min from the start of thetest. The fire environment is to be controlled by reproducing the furnace temperatures recorded durin

35、g thefurnace calibration method specified in Furnace Calibration, Section 4. This temperature is to bemaintained throughout the remainder of the fire test as shown in Figure 3.1.Revised 3.1 effective April 6, 2009This is generated text for figtxt.APRIL 6, 2007UL 17094Figure 3.1Time-temperature curve

36、MARCH 23, 2005 UL 1709 53.2 The furnace is to be controlled to maintain the area under the time-temperature curve to within 10%of the corresponding area under the standard time-temperature curve shown in Figure 3.1 for fire tests of60 min or less duration; to within 7.5% for tests longer than 60 min

37、 but not longer than 120 min; and towithin 5% for tests exceeding 120 min in duration. The area under the time-temperature curve is to beobtained by averaging the results from the pyrometer or thermocouple readings.3.3 A correction is to be applied for variation of the furnace exposure from the pres

38、cribed, where suchvariation will affect the test results, by multiplying the indicated time period by two-thirds of the valueobtained by dividing the difference in area between the curve of average furnace temperature and thestandard curve for the first three-fourths of the period by the area betwee

39、n the standard curve above abase line of 68F (20C) for the same part of the indicated period during the first part of the test. For fireexposure times longer than standard, the indicated rating period is to be increased by the amount of thecorrection and for fire exposure times less than standard, t

40、he indicated rating period is to be similarlydecreased. The correction can be expressed by the following formula:In which:C is the correction in the same units as I,I is the indicated fire-resistance period,A is the area under the curve of indicated average furnace temperature for the first three-fo

41、urthsof the indicated period, andAsis area under the standard furnace curve for the same part of the indicated period.3.4 The temperature fixed by the requirements of Furnace Calibration, Section 4, is to be the averagetemperature obtained from the readings of eight thermocouples symmetrically dispo

42、sed and distributedwithin the test furnace to show the temperature near all parts of the assembly.3.5 The thermocouples are to be fabricated by fusion-welding the twisted ends of 0.064 in (1.6 mm)diameter (No. 14 B&S gauge) chromel-alumel wires having a time constant of 2 min or less, and mountingth

43、e wires in porcelain insulators. The thermocouple assembly is to be inserted through a standard weight,nominal 1/2 in iron, steel or inconel pipe, and the end of the pipe from which the welded junction protrudesis to be open. The thermocouple junction is to protrude 1/2 in (12.7 mm) from the open en

44、d of the pipe.3.6 The junction of the thermocouples is to be placed 4 in (102 mm) away from the exposed face of thetest specimen and located at the 1/3 and 2/3 heights of the test specimen.MARCH 23, 2005UL 170963.7 Each thermocouple within the furnace shall be read at intervals not exceeding 1 min d

45、uring the first30 min of the test and at intervals not exceeding 5 min during the remainder of the test.4 Furnace Calibration4.1 A furnace calibration record is to be maintained and the furnace is to be recalibrated after completionof any repair that could alter the heat generation, retention or flow characteristics of the
