21、UCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These methods of re tests are applicable to window assemblies, including glass block and other light transmitting assemblies, for use in the protection of openings in vertical re resistive assemblies. 1.2 Assemblies classied

22、in accordance with this standard provide only limited protection from the transmission of heat. This standard provides guidance to measure the heat ux emitted through the test specimen during the re exposure and temperatures on the unexposed surface. 1.3 Tests made in conformity with these test meth

23、ods shall not be construed as determining suitability of window assemblies for continued use after re exposure. 1.4 These methods are intended to evaluate the ability of a window or other light transmitting assembly to remain in an opening during a predetermined test exposure. 1.5 The tests expose a

24、 specimen to a standard re exposure controlled to achieve specied temperatures throughout a specied time period, followed by the application of a specied standard re hose stream. The exposure, however, may not be representative of all re exposure conditions, which may vary with changes in the amount

25、, nature, and distribution of re loading; ventilation; compartment size and conguration; and heat sink characteristics of the compartment. It does, however, provide a relative measure of re performance of window assemblies under these specied exposure conditions. 1.6 This standard denes two pressure

26、 conditions for the control of the furnace during the re exposure. One pressure condition is identied as a positive pressure condition and one is identied as a neutral pressure condition. 1.7 Any variation from the construction or conditions that are tested may substantially change the performance c

27、haracteristics of the assembly. 1.8 These methods do not provide the following: a) Full information as to performance of all window assemblies in walls constructed of materials other than tested. b) Evaluation of the degree by which the window assembly contributes to the re hazard by generation of s

28、moke, toxic gases, or other products of combustion. c) Measurement of the degree of control or limitation of smoke or products of combustion passage through the window assembly. These methods permit loss of glass lights and through openings, provided such loss and openings do not exceed specied limi

34、3.2 Furnace temperatures 3.2.1 The temperatures of the test exposure shall be the average temperature obtained by a minimum of three thermocouples and no fewer than one thermocouple per 15 square feet of test assembly exposed to the furnace symmetrically disposed and distributed to show the temperat

35、ure near all parts of the test assembly. The thermocouples are to be protected by sealed porcelain tubes having 3/4 in (19.1 mm) outside diameter and 1/8 in (3.2 mm) wall thickness or, as an alternate in the case of base-metal thermocouples, protected by: (1) sealed 1/2-in (12.7-mm) wrought-steel or

36、 wrought-iron pipe, in accordance with Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe, ANSI/ASME B36.10M, of standard weight, or (2) Inconel 600 series schedule 40 pipe (0.8 inch OD / 0.6 inch ID, 20 mm OD / 15 mm ID). See Figure 3.2. The exposed length of the thermocouple protection tube in the furnace cha

37、mber is not to be less than 12 in (305 mm). The junction of the thermocouples is to be 6 in (152 mm) from the exposed face of the test assembly, or from the construction in which the assembly is installed during the entire test exposure.

39、area under the standard time-temperature curve for re test of 1 hour or less duration, within 7.5 percent for those over 1 hour and not more than 2 hours, and within 5 percent for tests exceeding 2 hours in duration.

Control of the furnace pressure is to be established beginning no later than 5 minutes after the start of the test and is to be maintained throughout the remainder of the re test

42、. Revised 3.3.2 effective February 13, 2018 3.3.3 The vertical pressure distribution within the furnace is to be measured by at least two pressure-sensing probes separated by a minimum vertical distance of 6 ft (1.8 m) inside the furnace for furnaces with a minimum vertical dimension of 10 ft (3.05

43、m). Minimum vertical separation between pressure probes is to be reduced proportionally for furnaces with an internal dimension less than 10 ft (3.05 m). 3.3.4 The pressure-sensing probes are to be as shown in either Figure 3.3 or Figure 3.4.

47、MISSION FROM UL 3.3.5 The pressure-sensing probes are to be located within 6 in (152 mm) of the vertical centerline of the furnace chamber. 3.3.6 The pressure at each location is to be measured using a differential pressure instrument capable of reading in increments no greater than 0.01 inch water

48、gauge (2.5 Pa) with an accuracy of 0.005 inch water gauge ( 1.2 Pa) or better. The differential pressure measurement instrument is to be located so as to minimize stack effects caused by vertical runs of pressure tubing between the pressure-sensing probes and the differential pressure measurement in

49、strument locations. 3.3.7 Based on the vertical separation and pressure differences between the two pressure-sensing probes, a calculation of the zero pressure plane is to be made. The furnace pressure is to be positive above the zero pressure plane. 3.3.8 For re tests conducted under positive pressure conditions, the zero pressure plane is to be established such that at least two-thirds of the height of the window assembly is located above the zer
