This guide is intended to bring uniformity and consistency to tests and reports coveringfire-resistance research that is generally conducted as a variation of Test Methods E119. Its provisionsare voluntary and users are

Theoverriding goal is to make it possible to begin to provide data that ultimately can be used in fire safetyengineering and fire-resistance modeling as those fields evolve. When the purpose of the research isto study the effect of changin

14、of acceptance in order to understand how the alternative test conditions relate to those specified inTest Methods E119.4.4 Users of this guide should be aware that tests conducted using exposure conditions different than those specified in TestMethods E119 do not provide or generate fire resistance

15、ratings suitable for determining compliance with code or regulatoryrequirements.4.4.1 In Test Methods E119, standard test specimens are subjected to specific exposure conditions. Substitution of differentexposure conditions can change the measured fire-test-response characteristics of a test specime

16、n. Therefore, the data are valid foronly the alternative exposure conditions used.5. General Principles5.1 Except as specifically modified herein, fire-resistance tests should be conducted using the test furnaces, exposure conditions,test specimens, instrumentation, and acceptance criteria set forth

17、 in Test Methods E119.5.2 Although it is possible to vary many variables at one time, and it may be desirable to do so when evaluating the responseof a specimen to specific design fire conditions, it is usually desirable to vary only one parameter at a time when comparing resultsfrom two or more tes

18、ts or when evaluating the effect on fire resistance of changing a specific variable.5.3 LimitationsThe test data is valid for only the specimen and parameters used in the test.6. Alternative Time-Temperature Curves6.1 The provisions in this section are applicable to the use of alternative time-tempe

19、rature curves that are different from thetime-temperature curve specified in Test Methods E119.6.1.1 When the time-temperature curve specified in Test Methods E119 is used, it should be so stated in the report.NOTE 1There are a number of recognized time-temperature curves in use in fire-resistance t

20、est standards around the world.6.2 When a recognized or published time-temperature curve is used, the reference in which the curve is described should becited and the time-temperature curve should be reported.6.3 Fire safety engineering and computer modeling are methods whereby non-standard time-tem

21、perature curves can be derivedto represent specific design conditions.6.3.1 When these design fires are used as the basis of a time-temperature curve, a table or equation representing the curve shouldbe reported.7. Alternative Pressure Differentials7.1 The provisions in this section are applicable t

22、o the use of specific furnace pressure differentials.NOTE 2There are a number of recognized or published furnace pressure differentials in use in fire test standards around the world.7.2 When a recognized or published furnace pressure differential is used, the reference in which the pressure differe
