3、ire 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 g
4、enerally 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 spec
5、ified 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 produ
6、cts 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 ex
7、posed 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-containme
9、nt 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 differen
11、t 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 hea
12、t 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 Thes
13、e 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-tion

Summary of Test Methods4.1 A standard fire exposure of controlled extent and
28、sever-ity is specified.The test setup will provide an average total coldwall heat flux on all exposed surfaces of the test specimen of50 000 Btu/ft2h 6 2500 Btu/ft2h (158 kW/m26 8kW/m2).The heat flux shall be attained within the first 5 min of testexposure and maintained for the duration of the test

Thetemperature of the environment that generates the heat flux ofprocedures in 6.2 shall be at least 1500F (815C) after the first3 min of the test and shall be between 1850F (1010C) and2150F (1180C) at all times after the first 5 min of the test.Performance is defined as the time period during whi

35、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. The standardfire exposure is basically defined in terms of the total fluxincident on the test specimen together with appr
36、opriate tem-perature conditions. Quantitative measurements of the thermalexposure (total heat flux) are required during both furnacecalibration and actual testing.5.1.2 It is recognized that the thermodynamic properties offree-burning, hydrocarbon fluid pool fires have not beencompletely characteriz
37、ed 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 fire, and other factors.As a result, the exposurespecified in these test methods is not necessarily representativeof all t
38、he 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 comparing the relative performance of differentassemblies under controlled conditions.5.1.3 Any variation to constructio
39、n or conditions (that is,size, method of assembly, and materials) from that of the testedassembly is capable of substantially changing the performancecharacteristics of the assembly.5.2 Separate procedures are specified for testing columnspecimens with and without an applied superimposed load.5.2.1
40、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 structural design criteria unless limited design criteria arespecified and a corresponding reduced load applied.5.2.2 Th
41、e 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 applied design allowable load would failstructurally.5.2.3 The procedure for unloaded specimens also providesfor the test
42、ing of other than steel columns provided thatappropriate acceptance criteria have been established.5.3 Separate procedures are also specified for testing beamassemblies with and without an applied superimposed load.5.3.1 The procedure for testing loaded specimens stipulatesthat the beam shall be sim
43、ply supported. Application ofrestraint against longitudinal thermal expansion depends on theintended use, as specified by the customer. The applied load isintended to be the allowable design load permitted for the beamas determined in accordance with accepted engineering prac-tice.5.3.2 The procedur
44、e for testing unloaded beams includestemperature limits for steel. These limits are to define thetemperature above which a simply supported, unrestrainedbeam would fail structurally if subjected to the allowabledesign load. The procedure for unloaded specimens alsoprovides for the testing of other t
45、han steel and reinforcedconcrete beams provided that appropriate acceptance criteriahave been established.5.3.3 It is recognized that beam assemblies that are testedwithout load will not deflect to the same extent as an identicalassembly tested with load. As a result, tests conducted inaccordance wi
46、th the unloaded beam procedure are not intendedto reflect the effects of crack formation, dislodgement ofapplied fire protection materials, and other factors that areinfluenced by the deflection of the assembly.5.4 A separate procedure is specified for testing the fire-containment capability of a wa
47、ll/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 locate
48、doutdoors and subjected to varying weather conditions that arecapable of adversely affecting the fire endurance of theassembly. A program of accelerated weathering followed byfire exposure is described to simulate such exposure.5.6 These test methods provide for quantitative heat fluxmeasurements to
49、 support the development of design fires andthe use of fire safety engineering models to predict thermalexposure and material performance in a wide range of firescenarios.CONTROL OF FIRE TEST6.
