14、res the exposure imposed by the furnaceonto test specimens.4.2 The standardized test specimen consists of two layers of15.9 mm (58 in.) thick Type X gypsum board on the surfacefacing the furnace chamber attached to steel channels and asingle layer of structural panels (plywood or oriented strandboar
15、d) attached to the steel channels on the surface away fromthe furnace chamber. The gypsum board provides a fire-resistive surface for the mounting of the instrumentation. Thestructural panels provide stability for the steel support chan-nels.4.3 Instrumentation to measure the thermal impact due toex
16、posure to the furnace upon the standardized test specimen isinstalled at various locations on the exposed surface of thestandardized test specimen. Probes used to gather air sampleswithin the furnace chamber are also installed.4.4 The standardized test specimen is exposed to the time-temperature cur

18、.The area bounded by the instrumentation installed on thestandardized test specimen is designated as the effective area ofthe furnace opening.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice describes a procedure to gather dataintended to measure the uniformity of exposure conditionsupon test specimens for
19、the fire test methods described in TestMethods E119, E814, E1529, E1725, E1966 and E2336. Thecollected data from furnaces are intended to form a basis forperformance requirements for the furnaces described in thereferenced standards.5.2 This practice does not include requirements for furnaceperforma
20、nce.5.3 In this procedure, the standardized test specimen issubjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory testconditions. If different test conditions are substituted or theend-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by orfrom this procedure to predict changes in the fire-test-r
21、esponsecharacteristics measured. Therefore, the results are valid onlyfor the fire-test-exposure conditions described in this proce-dure.5.4 The attention of all persons connected with the conductof this practice is drawn to the fact that fire testing is hazardousand that there is a possibility that
22、 harmful smoke and gases aredeveloped during the test. There is also a possibility thatmechanical and operational hazards develop during the con-struction of the test specimen and the disposal of the testresidues. An assessment of all potential hazards and risks tohealth shall be made and safety pre
