ISO 694
3、4 is a standard test method used to evaluate ventilation ducts. However, ISO 6944does not address all of the fire resistive attributes deemed necessary by some authorities havingjurisdiction, for example, (1) the fire-resistive, combustibility, flame spread and smoke generation, anddurability proper
4、ties of the fire-resistive materials protecting the HVAC duct, (2) the transition fromthe horizontal to a vertical HVAC duct, (3) the attachment of the HVAC ducts supports to thefire-separating elements, (4) the termination of an HVAC duct system and the protection of its ends,(5) the effects of rap
5、id cooling and erosion upon the HVAC duct system, (6) the use of fire dampersand (7) the effect of the HVAC duct system on its supporting construction. Many types of fire-resistivematerials are used to protect HVAC ducts. These fire-resistive materials are either applied to HVACducts in the field or
6、 are fabricated as an integral part of the HVAC duct system when shipped from thefactory. Evaluating fire-resistive materials used to protect a HVAC duct from fire is an aid forpredicting their fire performance and helps to establish uniformity in requirements of variousauthorities. To do this it is
7、 necessary that the fire-resistance properties of HVAC ducts protected withfire-resistive materials be measured and specified according to a common standard expressed in termsthat are applicable alike to a wide variety of materials, situations, and conditions of exposure.1. Scope*NOTE 1Use of the st
8、andard designation ISO 6944 refers to both ISO6944:1985 and ISO 6944-1:2008.1.1 These test methods evaluate the fire-resistive materialsand the HVAC duct systems surface burning characteristics,non-combustibility, fire resistance, durability, and fire-engulfment with horizontal and vertical through-
9、penetrationfirestops.NOTE 2The intent of these test methods is to provide authoritieshaving jurisdiction a means to evaluate the fire performance of HVACduct systems to enable their application and use.1.2 These test methods evaluate the fire performance ofHVAC ducts, including both supply (pressuri
10、zed: Condition A Horizontal and Condition B Vertical) and return (exhaust:Condition C Horizontal and Condition D Vertical).1.3 These test methods evaluate the ability of a HVAC ductsystem to resist the spread of fire from one compartment toother compartments separated by a fire resistance rated con-
