3、nts after exposure to a specified test fire, require test specimensto be evaluated by exposure to a hose stream. It is important to standardize certain elements of the hosestream to promote uniformity in requirements. To attain this goal, this practice describes a standardapparatus for delivering a

4、solid stream of water and prescribes a standard method of subjectingbuilding elements to a hose stream after fire exposure.1. Scope1.1 This practice is applicable to building elements requiredto be subjected to the impact, erosion, and cooling effects of ahose stream as part of a fire-test-response

5、standard. Buildingelements include, but are not limited to, wall and partitionassemblies, fire-resistive joint systems, and doors.1.2 This practice shall register performance of the buildingelement under specific hose stream conditions. It shall notimply that, either after exposure or under other co

6、nditions, thestructural capability of the building element is intact or that thebuilding element is suitable for use.1.3 The result derived from this practice is one factor inassessing the integrity of building elements after fire exposure.The practice prescribes a standard hose stream exposure forc

7、omparing performance of building elements after fire expo-sure and evaluates various materials and construction tech-niques under common conditions.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that ar

These notes shall not be considered asrequirements of the standard.1.6 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitativemeasures.1.7 This standard

9、does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

22、ons has the potential ofsubstantially changing the performance characteristics deter-mined by this practice.5. Apparatus5.1 The apparatus used to apply the hose stream is shown inFig. 1 and shall be capable of delivering a solid stream of waterat the pressure specified in the fire-resistance test me

23、thod.5.1.1 The water stream shall be delivered through a 2-12 in.(64 mm) hose discharging through a National Standard Play-pipe of corresponding size equipped with a 1-18 in. (29 mm)discharge tip of standard taper, smooth-bore pattern without ashoulder at the orifice. Refer to UL 385.5.1.1.1 The pla

24、ypipe shall be attached at its base to a rigidsupport that permits the hose stream to be directed at thespecimen from top to bottom and from side to side as requiredin 8.4 without changing the location of the base of the playpiperelative to the test specimen. The rigid base is permitted to bea wheel

25、ed apparatus that is blocked to prevent movementduring the hose stream application.NOTE 1Typical support and swivel devices are shown in Fig. 2.FIG. 1 Hose Stream ApparatusE2226 15b25.1.2 The water pressure at the base of the nozzle shall bemeasured by providing a 12 in. (305 mm) length of a straigh

26、trun 2-12 in. (64 mm) pipe between the hose and the playpipe.Eight inches downstream from one end, the pipe shall have an18 in. (3.2 mm) diameter pressure tap drilled through the pipesidewall with a pipe coupling welded or brazed concentricallyover the hole. The pressure tap shall be flush with andp

27、erpendicular (6 5) to the inner wall of the pipe. Burrs orother irregularities shall be removed or corrected.5.1.3 A pressure gauge calibrated in 1 psi (5 kPa) incre-ments shall be fitted on the end of the coupling. The pressuregauge shall be capable of reading a maximum pressure of atleast 59 psi (

28、406 kPa) and shall have a full scale reading nogreater than 300 psi (2070 kPa).5.2 The hose stream apparatus shall be connected to asource of water capable of maintaining the required minimumpressure, as specified in the fire-resistance test method, at thenozzle under flow conditions throughout the

29、hose stream test.6. Test Specimen and Conditioning6.1 Prior to conducting the hose stream test, the testspecimen shall be conditioned and fire tested as specified in theapplicable fire-resistance test method.7. Nozzle Location7.1 The nozzle tip shall be located so that its axis is 90 tothe center of

30、 the test assembly as shown in Fig. 3. However, ifthe axis is other than 90, refer to 7.2.1.7.2 The distance between the center of the test assembly andthe nozzle tip shall be 20 6 1 ft (6.1 6 0.3 m) as shown in Fig.3.7.2.1 The distance specified in 7.2 shall be decreased by 1 ft(305 mm) for each 10

31、 deviation from the normal as shown inFig. 4. The maximum deviation from the normal shall notexceed 30.8. Procedure8.1 Prior to the fire test, the laboratory shall ensure that thedischarge pressure specified in the fire-resistance test method iscapable of being attained.8.2 Condition and fire test t

32、he test specimen in accordancewith the requirements of the fire-resistance test method.8.3 Unless otherwise specified, immediately, but not longerthan 10 min after the termination of the fire test, perform all ofthe following prior to the application of the hose stream:8.3.1 Remove the test assembly

33、 and frame from the furnace,when applicable.8.3.2 Position the test assembly in such a manner as to beable to apply the hose stream to the entire surface of the testassembly that had been exposed to the fire.8.3.3 Position the tip of the nozzle at the specified distancefrom the center of the test as

34、sembly.8.3.4 Adjust the nozzle hose stream to the pressure specifiedin Table 1. During adjustment, the hose stream shall not contactthe test assembly.FIG. 2 Typical Hose Mounting MethodsE2226 15b38.3.5 Videotape or photograph both the exposed and unex-posed sides of the test assembly.FIG. 3 Nozzle T

35、ip Position Relative to Exposure Face of Test SpecimenFIG. 4 Nozzle Tip Position Correction for Deviation from 90E2226 15b48.3.6 Position personnel to obtain an unobstructed view ofboth the exposed and unexposed sides of the test assemblyduring the hose stream test.8.3.7 Commence the application of

36、the hose stream asdescribed in 8.4.8.4 Commence the hose stream test by directing the hosestream to one corner of the test assembly first. Continue todirect the stream to the entire exposed face of the test assemblyin accordance with the following:8.4.1 Pass the hose stream across the test assembly

37、at a rateof 3 to 6 feet per second (0.9 to 1.8 metres per second).Movement either from one side of the test assembly to theother, from the bottom of the test assembly to top, or from thetop of the test assembly to bottom, constitutes one pass.NOTE 2For example, Fig. 5 shows ten passes, five vertical

38、 and fivehorizontal.8.4.2 Maintain the rate of application when changing direc-tions to make the return pass, and change direction off the testassembly without halting the directional movement of theapplication of the hose stream. Moving the nozzle from side toside, apply the hose stream to cover th

39、e entire exposed face ofthe fire test assembly. After completing the side-to-side appli-cation of the hose stream, immediately change direction andapply the hose stream over the exposed face of the assembly bymoving the nozzle at right angles to the side-to-side applica-tion. Fig. 5 is one example o

40、f the pattern that shall be used.NOTE 3Ideally, the spacing between hose stream passes in thehorizontal direction compared to the vertical direction does not differ bymore than 10 %.8.4.3 Terminate the application of the hose stream uponcompletion of the required duration specified in Table 1 orwhen

41、 failure occurs, whichever occurs first.8.4.4 After terminating the test, photograph both the ex-posed and unexposed sides of the test assembly.9. Observations During the Hose Stream9.1 Observe the unexposed surface of the test assemblyduring the application of the hose stream for the developmentof

42、any hole, crack, or other penetration that allows the passageof water from the hose stream.9.2 Observe any fully developed stream, wetting of theunexposed surface, water rolling down the unexposed surface,or water projected beyond the unexposed surface.10.
