17、rements cover automatically operated roof vents for smoke and heat that fall into two general categories: mechanically-opened and gravity-opened. Mechanically-opened vents consist primarily of a body frame, one or more damper covers and hatches, and operating mechanisms which generally include a hea

18、t responsive device and spring(s). Gravity-opened vents consist primarily of a body frame and nonmetallic drop-out panel. The vents covered by these requirements are operated manually or automatically in the event of re to remove smoke and heat from the building. Automatic operation does not depend

19、on electrical power or other energy sources that may be interrupted during a re, but rather depends upon operation of a heat responsive device or on the action of a plastic cover shrinking and falling from place due to re exposure, or the like. These vents are not intended for use as general purpose

20、 building ventilation devices. 2 General 2.1 Units of measurement 2.1.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 References 2.2.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this stan

21、dard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 2.3 Components 2.3.1 Except as indicated in 2.3.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.3.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic

22、 requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.3.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended condi

23、tions of use. 2.3.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions

27、their tensile strength and tensile impact, or exural strength and Izod impact, depending on the type of material being tested), and 2) Have a minimum ammability rating of HB or better, in accordance with the Standard for Tests for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances

28、, UL 94. 5 Assembly 5.1 A mechanically-opened vent shall be assembled so that it can be manually operated (opened) from inside or outside the building. 5.2 A mechanically-opened vent shall be constructed so as to open and lock in an open position. 5.3 A mechanically-opened vent shall open outward an

32、ent of the zinc on any side, based on the minimum single spot test requirement in the ASTM Designation. The weight of the zinc coating may be determined by any method, but in case of question shall be established in accordance with the test method in the Standard Test Method for Weight (Mass) of Coa

An A60 (alloyed) coating shall also comply with the requirements in 6.4. b) A zinc coating, other than that provided on hot-dipped mill galvanized sheet steel, uniformly applied to an average thickness of not less than 0.000

34、41 in (0.0104 mm) on each surface with a minimum thickness of 0.00034 in (0.00864 mm). The thickness of the coating is to be established in accordance with the test method in the Standard Guide for Measurement of Electrodeposited Metallic Coating Thicknesses by the Dropping Test, ASTM B555. An annea

35、led coating shall also comply with the requirements in 6.4. c) A cadmium coating not less than 0.0127 mm (0.0005 in) thick on both surfaces.
