3、re conditions resulting fromlarge, free-burning (that is, outdoors), fluid-hydrocarbon-fueled pool fires is of concern in the designof hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) facilities and other facilities subject to these types of fires.In recognition of this unique fire protection problem, it is ge

4、nerally required that critical structuralmembers and assemblies be of fire-resistant construction.Historically, such requirements have been based upon tests conducted in accordance with TestMethods E119, the only available standardized test for fire resistant construction. However, theexposure speci

5、fied in Test Methods E119 does not adequately characterize large hydrocarbon poolfires. Test Methods E119 is used for representation of building fires where the primary fuel is solid innature, and in which there are significant constraints on the movement of air to the fire, and thecombustion produc

6、ts away from the fire (that is, through doors, windows). In contrast, neithercondition is typical of large hydrocarbon pool fires (see Appendix X1 on Commentary).One of the most distinguishing features of the pool fire is the rapid development of hightemperatures and heat fluxes that can subject exp

7、osed structural members and assemblies to a thermalshock much greater than that associated with Test Methods E119. As a result, it is important that fireresistance requirements for HPI assemblies of all types of materials be evaluated and specified inaccordance with a standardized test that is more

8、representative of the anticipated fire conditions. Sucha standard is found in the test methods herein.1. Scope*1.1 The test methods described in this fire-test-responsestandard are used for determining the fire-test response ofcolumns, girders, beams or similar structural members, andfire-containmen

9、t walls, of either homogeneous or compositeconstruction, that are employed in HPI or other facilitiessubject to large hydrocarbon pool fires.1.2 It is the intent that tests conducted in accordance withthese test methods will indicate whether structural members ofassemblies, or fire-containment wall

10、assemblies, will continueto perform their intended function during the period of fireexposure. These tests shall not be construed as having deter-mined suitability for use after fire exposure.1.3 These test methods prescribe a standard fire exposurefor comparing the relative performance of different

11、 structuraland fire-containment wall assemblies under controlled labora-tory conditions. The application of these test results to predictthe performance of actual assemblies when exposed to largepool fires requires a careful engineering evaluation.1.4 These test methods provide for quantitative heat

12、 fluxmeasurements during both the control calibration and theactual test. These heat flux measurements are being made tosupport the development of design fires and the use of firesafety engineering models to predict thermal exposure andmaterial performance in a wide range of fire scenarios.1.5 These

13、 test methods are useful for testing other itemssuch as piping, electrical circuits in conduit, floors or decks,and cable trays. Testing of these types of items requiresdevelopment of appropriate specimen details and end-point orfailure criteria. Such failure criteria and test specimen descrip-tions

14、 are not provided in these test methods.1.6 LimitationsThese test methods do not provide thefollowing:1.6.1 Full information on the performance of assembliesconstructed with components or of dimensions other than thosetested.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E05 on Fire

36、hods are cited as the “Standard LargeHydrocarbon Pool Fire Tests.”5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods are intended to provide a basis forevaluating the time period during which a beam, girder,column, or similar structural assembly, or a nonbearing wall,will continue to perform its intended

37、 function when subjectedto a controlled, standardized fire exposure.5.1.1 In particular, the selected standard exposure conditionsimulates the condition of total continuous engulfment of amember or assembly in the luminous flame (fire plume) area ofa large free-burning-fluid-hydrocarbon pool fire. T

38、he standardfire exposure is basically defined in terms of the total fluxincident on the test specimen together with appropriate tem-perature conditions. Quantitative measurements of the thermalexposure (total heat flux) are required during both furnacecalibration and actual testing.5.1.2 It is recog

39、nized that the thermodynamic properties offree-burning, hydrocarbon fluid pool fires have not beencompletely characterized and are variable depending on thesize of the fire, the fuel, environmental factors (such as windconditions), the physical relationship of the structural memberto the exposing fi

40、re, and other factors.As a result, the exposurespecified in these test methods is not necessarily representativeof all the conditions that exist in large hydrocarbon pool fires.The specified standard exposure is based upon the bestavailable information and testing technology. It provides abasis for

41、comparing the relative performance of differentassemblies under controlled conditions.5.1.3 Any variation to construction or conditions (that is,size, method of assembly, and materials) from that of the testedassembly is capable of substantially changing the performancecharacteristics of the assembl

42、y.5.2 Separate procedures are specified for testing columnspecimens with and without an applied superimposed load.5.2.1 The procedures for testing loaded columns stipulatethat the load shall be applied axially. The applied load is to bethe maximum load condition allowed under nationally recog-nized

43、structural design criteria unless limited design criteria arespecified and a corresponding reduced load applied.5.2.2 The procedure for testing unloaded steel columnspecimens includes temperature limits. These limits are in-tended to define the temperature above which a steel columnwith an axially a

44、pplied design allowable load would failstructurally.5.2.3 The procedure for unloaded specimens also providesfor the testing of other than steel columns provided thatappropriate acceptance criteria have been established.5.3 Separate procedures are also specified for testing beamassemblies with and wi

45、thout an applied superimposed load.5.3.1 The procedure for testing loaded specimens stipulatesthat the beam shall be simply supported. Application ofrestraint against longitudinal thermal expansion depends on theintended use, as specified by the customer. The applied load isintended to be the allowa

46、ble design load permitted for the beamas determined in accordance with accepted engineering prac-tice.5.3.2 The procedure for testing unloaded beams includestemperature limits for steel. These limits are to define thetemperature above which a simply supported, unrestrainedbeam would fail structurall

47、y if subjected to the allowabledesign load. The procedure for unloaded specimens alsoprovides for the testing of other than steel and reinforcedconcrete beams provided that appropriate acceptance criteriahave been established.5.3.3 It is recognized that beam assemblies that are testedwithout load wi

48、ll not deflect to the same extent as an identicalassembly tested with load. As a result, tests conducted inaccordance with the unloaded beam procedure are not intendedto reflect the effects of crack formation, dislodgement ofapplied fire protection materials, and other factors that areinfluenced by

49、the deflection of the assembly.5.4 A separate procedure is specified for testing the fire-containment capability of a wall/bulkhead/partition, etc. Ac-ceptance criteria include temperature rise of nonfire exposedsurface, plus the ability of the wall to prohibit passage offlames or hot gases, or both.5.5 In most cases, the structural assemblies that will beevaluated in accordance with these test methods will be locatedoutdoors and subjected to varying weather conditions that arecapable of adversely affecting the fire endurance of theassembly.
