19、INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover concrete masonry units classied for use in re resistive walls in accordance with the conditions of acceptance of the Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, UL 263. 1.2 Concrete masonry units are classied as follows: a) 2-hour

20、 units are intended for use in re resistive walls having a rating of 2 hours or less. b) 3-hour units are intended for use in re resistive walls having a rating of 3 hours or less. c) 4-hour units are intended for use in re resistive walls having a rating of 4 hours or less. 1.3 A product that conta

21、ins features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons shall be evaluated using the appropriate additional component and end-product requirements t

22、o determine that the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this Standard is maintained. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard shall not be judged to comply with this standard. W

23、here appropriate, revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard. 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall compl

24、y with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component need not comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not needed in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A

25、 component shall be used in accordance with its recognized rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are recognized as being incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited con

26、ditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions for which they have been recognized.

27、SSION FROM UL 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be only approximate. The rst stated value is the requirement. 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the r

28、equirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. CONSTRUCTION 3 General 3.1 A concrete masonry unit shall conform to the following dimensions: a) Width (or thickness as laid in a wall) shall be not less than 7-5/8 inches (194 mm). b) Heig

29、ht shall be not more than 8 inches (203 mm). c) Length shall be not more than 18 inches (457 mm). 3.2 Hollow concrete masonry units shall contain two or three rectangular or oval core holes. 3.3 The face shell thickness in a unit provided with ornamental facing shall be taken at the thinnest face sh

36、ross volume less volume of voids) in cubic inches, L is the length of block in inches, and H is the height of block in inches. Net volume (V) of the blocks is to be determined by a water displacement method of a number of blocks of each design. The blocks are to be soaked in water for 24 hours, remo

37、ved from the vat, surface water removed, and then immersed in water and the displacement determined.
