16、ce develops treatment factors that shall beused by fire retardant chemical manufacturers to adjust bendingstrength design values for untreated plywood to account for thefire-retardant treatment effects. This practice uses data fromreference thermal-load cycles designed to simulate tempera-tures in s
17、loped roofs of common design to evaluate productsfor 50 iterations.5.2 This practice applies to material installed using con-struction practices recommended by the fire retardant chemicalmanufacturers that include avoiding exposure to precipitation,direct wetting, or regular condensation. This pract

The environmental conditions used in the laboratory-activated chemical reacti
19、ons that are considered to be similar tothose occurring in the field.This assumption is the fundamentalbasis of this practice.6. Procedure to Calculate Strength Loss Rate6.1 The procedure is a multistep calculation where first aninitial strength loss is determined, then the rates of strength lossat
20、various temperatures are calculated, and finally the initialloss and rates are combined into the overall treatment adjust-ment factor.6.2 Use the load-carrying capacity in bending, referred to asmaximum moment (M), as the controlling property for pur-poses of determining allowable spans.6.2.1 The ra
21、tio of the average maximum moment (M) forunexposed treated specimens to the average moment forunexposed untreated specimens shall be designated the Initialtreatment effect, Ro, associated with the room temperatureconditioning exposure of To.Ro5 MTRT, UNEX/MUNTRT,UNEX(1)6.2.2 If testing is done at mo
22、re than one temperature, Roishall be determined at each temperature and used in subsequentrate calculations for that specific temperature. The average ofthese values, Ro,avgshall be used in initial treatment effectcalculations (see 7.1).6.3 The average maximum moment ( M) of the treatedspecimens con
23、ditioned at the same temperature for the sameperiod of time shall be computed. The ratio of these momentsto the moment of the untreated, unexposed specimens asobtained in 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 shall be designated the testtreatment ratio, Rt. Include the ratio for specimens conditionedat room temperature b
24、ut not exposed to elevated temperatureprior to testing.Rt5 Rtest5 MTRT,UNEX, EX!/MUNTRT,UNEX(2)(per 6.3.2)NOTE 1When end matching of treated and untreated specimens isemployed to reduce variability in accordance with Test Method D5516,use the ratio of the matched pairs from each panel to calculate t
25、he panelmean. The average of the panel means shall be used to calculate Rt.6.3.1 For untreated specimens, linear regressions of theform:M 5 aD!1b (3)where:M = average maximum moment,D = number of days of elevated temperature exposure,a = constant, andb = intercept.shall be fitted to the maximum mome
26、nt and exposure timedata for each elevated temperature exposure.Average momentsfor untreated specimens conditioned at room temperature butnot exposed to elevated temperature prior to testing shall beincluded as zero day data in the regression analysis.6.3.2 The intercept of the regression obtained i
27、n 6.3.1 forthe untreated specimens shall be designated the unexposedaverage. If a negative slope of the untreated specimen regres-sion is not obtained, the average of the mean maximummoments at each exposure period, including zero, shall beconsidered the unexposed average moment for untreated speci-
28、mens.NOTE 2The intercept value obtained in 6.3.2 may be different fromthe unexposed, untreated value used in 6.2.1 for determining Ro.6.4 The slope and intercept of the linear relationship be-tween the ratios and days of exposure for all elevated tempera-tures shall be determined by linear regressio
29、ns of the form:Rt,i5 ktD!1c (4)where:Rt,i= test ratios of average maximum moments,D = number of days of elevated temperature exposure,kt= slope, andc = intercept.Include the ratio for treated specimens conditioned at roomtemperature but not exposed to elevated temperature prior totesting as zero day
30、 data in the regression analysis.6.4.1 If a negative slope is not obtained in 6.4, there was noapparent strength loss at the exposure temperature and alternateprocedures described in 7.2 are required.6.4.2 The slope ktfrom 6.4 shall be adjusted to a 50 %relative humidity (RH) basis by the following
31、equation:k50,i5 kt50/RHi! (5)where:k50,i= slope at 50 % RH at temperature i, andRHi= elevated temperature test RH.6.5 If Test Method D5516 protocol testing was only done atone elevated temperature, rates at other temperatures shall beestimated by the use of Arrhenius equation, which states thatthe r
32、ate of a chemical reaction is approximately halved for each10C the temperature is reduced. (Conversely, the rate approxi-mately doubles for each 10C that the temperature is in-creased.)6.5.1 If testing was done at only one temperature, then toallow for the uncertainty in only one measurement of the
33、ratio,the rate k50,ishall be increased by 10 % prior to the Arrheniuscalculations. If testing was done at two temperatures, then theD6305 08 (2015)12rate at each temperature shall be increased by 5 % prior to theArrhenius calculations.NOTE 3Increasing the rate of k50,ihas the effect of increasing th
34、eapparent strength loss.6.5.2 The Arrhenius equation is used to estimate rates atother temperatures. The rate constant, k2,at temperature, T2,isrelated byInk50,ik25Ea T12 T2!RT1T2(6)where:Ea = 21 810 cal/mol (91 253 J/mol) (1),4,5R = 1.987 cal/mol-K = (8.314 J/mol-K) = gas constant,andT1and T2are in
35、 K.6.6 Compute capacity loss as the negative value of the rates(k2) for bin mean temperatures of 105 (41), 115 (46), 125 (52),135 (57), 145 (63), 155 (68), 165 (74), 175 (79), 185 (85), 195(91), and 200F (93C).NOTE 4Use the negative values of the rates (k2) for CLT since CLT isexpressed as a loss.6.
36、7 If Test Method D5516 testing was done at three or moreelevated temperature exposures, capacity losses shall be estab-lished by fitting a linear regression to the natural logarithm ofthe negative of the slopes of the regressions obtained in 6.4 ateach exposure temperature and 1/Tiwhere Tiis in K.NO
37、TE 5This constructs an Arrhenius plot using classical chemicalkinetics techniques, which is the simplest modeling approach. Other moresophisticated modeling techniques are available but require a differentprocedure for calculating strength loss rates.66.7.1 If Test Method D5516 testing was done at t
38、wotemperatures, the two rate constants (k2) calculated from Eq 6shall be averaged for each bin mean temperature.6.8 Reference Thermal Load Profiles:6.8.1 The cumulative days per year the average sheathingtemperature falls within 10F (5.6C) bins having meantemperatures of 105 (41), 115 (46), 125 (52)
39、, 135 (57), 145(63), 155 (68), 165 (74), 175 (79), 185 (85), 195 (91), and200F (93C) represent a thermal load profile. The profilestabulated below, based on reference year weather tape infor-mation for various locations, an indexed attic temperature andmoisture model developed by the Forest Products
40、 Laboratory,and a south-facing roof system ventilated as required by theapplicable code having dark-colored shingle roofing, shall beconsidered the standard thermal environments fire-retardant-treated plywood roof sheathing is exposed to in different snowload zones (4). The specific model inputs use
41、d were 0.65shingle absorptivity and a ventilation rate of 8 air changes perhour (ach).7See Table 1.6.9 Annual Capacity LossTotal annual capacity loss(CLT) due to elevated temperature exposure shall be deter-mined for locations within each zone as the summation of theproduct of the capacity loss per
42、day (CL) rate from 6.6 and thecumulative average days per year from 6.9 for each mean bintemperature.7. Treatment Factor7.1 For each zone, a treatment adjustment factor (TF) shallbe calculated as:TF 5 1 2 IT 2 nCF!CLT!# (7)where:TF = treatment adjustment factor 1.00 - IT,IT = initial treatment effec
43、t = 1-R0,n = number of iterations = 50,CF = Cyclic factor8= 0.6, andCLT = total annual capacity loss.7.2 If testing was only done at one exposure temperaturethat was 168F (76C) or greater and a negative slope was notobtained in 6.4, there was no apparent strength loss and henceno annual capacity los
44、s can be calculated. In this case, thetreatment adjustment factor will be the lesser of the initialtreatment effect (1-Ro) or 0.90, which reflects the 10 %allowance for uncertainty in only measuring at one tempera-ture.TF 5 lesser of 1 2 Ro! or 0.90 (8)7.2.1 If the exposure temperature was less than
45、 168F(76C) and a negative slope was not obtained in 6.4, then theexposure testing must be repeated at a higher temperature thateither exceeds 168F (76C) or causes a negative slope in 6.4.4The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthe text.5Pasek and McIntyre (1)
46、have shown that the Arrhenius parameter, Ea, forphosphate-based fire retardants for wood averages 21 810 cal/mol (91 253 J/mol).Other values are appropriate for fire retardants that are not phosphate based.6A description of other models is available in Refs (2) and (3).7Based on reported data given
47、in Ref (5).8This factor was derived by comparing the mechanical property data obtainedfrom plywood exposed to continuous elevated temperatures to data obtained fromcyclic exposures that peaked at the same elevated temperature as the continuousexposure.
