Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONCharacteristically fire spreads

3、from one building compartment to another by the collapse of abarrier, or by openings through which flames or hot gases may pass, or by transfer of sufficient heatto ignite combustibles beyond the barrier. Test Methods E119describe the method to be used tomeasure the fire-resistive performance of the

4、se barriers.However, various techniques of providing for the distribution of services within a structuresometimes require that openings be made in fire-resistive walls and floors to allow the passage of suchpenetrating items as cables, conduits, pipes, trays, and ducts through to the adjacent compar

5、tment.Fire-stop material is installed into these openings to resist the spread of fire.The performance of through-penetration firestops should be measured and specified according to acommon standard that describes the method of fire exposure and rating criteria.1. Scope1.1 This test method is applic

Firestop systems are in-tended for use in openings in fire-resistive walls and floors thatare evaluated in accordance with Test Methods E119.1.2 Tests conducted in conformance with this test methodrecord firestop system performance durin

8、as determin-ing the performance of the firestop system during actual fireconditions when subjected to forces such as failure of cablesupport systems and falling debris.1.4 The intent of this test method is to develop data to assistothers in determining the suitability of the firestops for usewhere f

18、 assembly.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe materials and devices used to sealthe opening around penetrating items are sometimes referred toas “firestops.” Note that it is not “firestops” that are tested bythis standard, but rather “firestop systems.” Due to the complexinteraction during a fire between the pene

19、trant, the penetratedassembly, the materials and/or devices used to seal the pen-etration, and the specific size and shape of the opening, it is notpossible to simply test the “firestop” to develop fire resistancedata.3.2.2 membrane-penetration firestop system, na firestopsystem that seals the openi

Summary of Test Method4.1 This method of testing through-penetration firestopsystems exposes firestop

23、systems to a standard temperature-time fire, and to a subsequent application of a hose stream.4.2 Ratings are established on the basis of the period ofresistance to the fire exposure, prior to the first development ofthrough openings, flaming on the unexposed surface, limitingthermal transmission cr

24、iterion, and acceptable performanceunder application of a hose stream.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the performanceof a firestop system with respect to exposure to a standardtime-temperature fire test and a hose stream test. The perfor-mance of a firestop system is

25、 dependent upon the specificassembly of materials tested including the number, type, andsize of penetrations and the floors or walls in which it isinstalled.5.2 Two ratings are established for each firestop system. AnF rating is based upon flame occurrence on the unexposedsurface, while the T rating

26、 is based upon the temperature rise aswell as flame occurrence on the unexposed side of the firestopsystem. These ratings, together with detailed performance datasuch as the location of through-openings and temperatures ofpenetrating items are intended to be one factor in assessingperformance of fir

27、estop systems.6. Control of Fire Tests6.1 Time-Temperature CurveThe fire environment withinthe furnace shall be in accordance with the standard time-temperature curve shown in Fig. 1.

30、s in sealed protection tubesof such materials and dimensions that the time constant of theprotected thermocouple assembly lies within the range (seeNOTEFor a closer definition of the temperature-time curve, see AnnexA1.FIG. 1 Temperature-Time CurveE814092Note 1) from 300 to 400 s. The exposed length

31、 of thepyrometer tube and thermocouple in the furnace chamber shallbe not less than 12 in. (300 mm). Use of other types ofprotection tubes or pyrometers is acceptable provided thattemperature measurements obtained in accordance with Fig. 1are within the limit of accuracy that applies for furnacetemp

32、erature measurements.NOTE 1A typical thermocouple meeting these time-constant require-ments may be fabricated by fusion-welding the twisted ends of No. 18 Band S gage (0.040 in.) (1.02 mm) Chromel-Alumel wires, mounting theleads in porcelain insulators and inserting the assembly so the thermo-couple

33、 bead is 0.50 in. (13 mm) from the sealed end of a standard weight,nominal12-in. iron, steel, or Inconel pipe. (Inconel is a trademark of IncoAlloys, Inc., 3800 Riverside Dr., P.O. Box 1958, Huntington, WV 25720.)The time constant for this and for several other thermocouple assemblieswas measured in

34、 1976. The time constant may also be calculated fromknowledge of its physical and thermal properties. See Research ReportRR:E05-1001, available from ASTM Headquarters.6.2.3 For floors, place the junction of the thermocouples 12in. (300 mm) away from the exposed face of the assembly. Inthe case of wa

35、lls, place the thermocouples 6.0 in. (150 mm)away from the exposed face.6.2.4 Read the temperature at intervals not exceeding 5 minduring the first 120 min. Thereafter, the intervals shall notexceed 10 min.6.2.5 The accuracy of the furnace control shall be such thatthe area under the temperature-tim

36、e curve, obtained by aver-aging the results from the pyrometer or thermoelectric devicereadings, is within 10 % of the corresponding area under thestandard temperature-time curve shown in Fig. 1 for fire testsof 60 min or less duration; within 7.5 % for those over 60 minand not more than 120 min; an

37、d within 5 % for tests exceeding120 min in duration.6.3 Unexposed Surface Temperatures:6.3.1 Measure temperature at each of the locations on theunexposed surface of the penetrating item and floor or wallassembly as shown in Fig. 2.6.3.2 For tests of membrane penetration firestop systems, inaddition
