Thepenetrating item and firestop materials are chosen to representthe type of through-penetration firestop system for
24、 whichmovement data is desired.NOTE 3A simplified example of such a test assembly is shownschematically in Fig. 1.4.2 Two independent tests are conducted for each combina-tion of through-penetration firestop system type and testassembly. One of the tests cycles the penetrating item in thedirection p
25、erpendicular to the plane of the test assembly. Asecond independent test is conducted to cycle the through-penetration firestop system in the direction parallel to the planeof the test assembly. The cycling tests continue to the magni-tude requested by the test sponsor, as adjusted by ongoingobserva
26、tions during the test.4.3 The cyclic movement tests are followed by a fireresistance test of each test assembly, as described in 9.11,toestablish the fire resistance rating of each such assembly.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended to standardize the cyclicmovement of a through-pe
27、netration firestop system prior to afire resistance test. If the amplitude of movement in a designapplication can be predicted, then the numerical values ofallowable movement can be used as one data point in helpingto establish suitability of the through-penetration firestopsystem for the given appl
28、ication.NOTE 4The fire resistance rating of a through-penetration firestopsystem is established in accordance with a relevant fire test, as acceptableto the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Examples of such tests include TestMethod E814, CAN/ULC-S115, UL 1479, and ISO 10295-1.5.2 This test method will
29、 assist users, producers, buildingofficials, code authorities, and others in understanding relativemovement capabilities of representative test specimens ofthrough-penetration firestop systems under standardized testconditions.5.3 This test method is not intended to predict the absolutemovement capa
30、bilities of all likely permutations of through-penetration firestop systems under all likely types of real-lifemovement.5.4 This test method does not provide information on:5.4.1 Durability of the through-penetration firestop systemunder actual service conditions, including the effects of cycledtemp

Apparatus6.1 Testing Machine, capable
35、of a range of movement thatincludes the maximum z-direction and y-direction movementplanned for the test. It shall be capable of continual repetitiousmovement between two specified dimensions, equipped withan automatic counter to record the relative movement betweenthe penetrating item and the test

(0.25 6 0.013 mm).NOTE 5One example of a commonly used measuring device is theLinear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT).NOTE 6If a load cell is connected to the displacement device, it mightbe damaged if
37、the resistance to movement exceeds the rated capacity ofthe load cell.6.3 Mounting Plates, or other apparatus suitable to installthe test specimen and undergo the test procedures.7. Safety Hazards7.1 WarningTake proper precautions to protect the ob-servers in the event of any failure. If extreme pre
38、ssures developduring this test, considerable energy and hazard are involved.In cases of failure, the hazard to personnel is less if a protectiveshield is used and protective eye wear worn. Do not permitpersonnel between the shield and equipment during the testprocedure.8. Test Specimens8.1 Test Asse
39、mbly:8.1.1 A concrete substrate shall be 4.5 6 0.50 in. (114 613 mm) thick. The concrete used shall have a nominal densityof 150 pcf (2403 kg/m3) and a minimum compressive strengthof 3000 psi (20.68 MPa).NOTE 7This dimension has been selected to provide a generic,representative test assembly that ca
40、n provide meaningful data for a widevariety of conditions.NOTE 8The concrete types or dimensions as permitted by 8.1.5 willresult in different test assemblies when needed.8.1.2 Prior to the test, condition concrete test specimens inan ambient atmosphere of 50 to 75 % relative humidity at 73 65F (23
41、6 3C) until an equilibrium moisture condition isachieved within the test specimen (Note 9).8.1.3 With some concrete construction it is difficult orimpossible to achieve such uniformity. Where this is the case,test specimens shall be permitted to be tested when the dampestportion of the test specimen
42、 has achieved a moisture contentFIG. 1 Simplified Example of Test Assembly Used for Movement Testing, Y-direction and Z-direction of Cycle Movement ShownE3037 163corresponding to conditioning to equilibrium with air in therange of 50 to 75 % relative humidity at 73 6 5F (23 6 3C).NOTE 9Arecommended

44、ith other materials.8.1.4 A gypsum wall assembly shall consist of 1-h fireresistance rated construction using58-in. or 16-mm nominalthickness boards mounted on 358-in. (92-mm) nominal 24-gauge studs. Stud spacing shall be 16 6 0.5 in. (381 613 mm). The assembly shall consist only of gypsum boards,fr
45、aming members, tracks, and screws. It shall be fastened asspecified in the listing of the 1-h assembly used. The gypsumboard shall not be of the abuse-resistant or impact-resistanttypes, unless that board type is reported, as mandated by 8.1.5.The testing machines attachment to the test assembly sha
46、ll notrest or otherwise support the free span of gypsum boardbetween studs. In the direction parallel to the studs, the gypsumboard span shall not have any rigid supports at either end, or ifa support is necessary at one or both ends, the gypsum boardshall have a minimum unsupported free span of 14
47、in.(356 mm) as measured parallel to the studs. The opening in thegypsum wall for the through-penetration shall be centeredwithin the assembly. The opening is permitted to be framed ornot framed, depending on the condition that is being investi-gated.NOTE 10This gypsum wall assembly has been chosen t
48、o provide ageneric, representative test assembly that can provide meaningful data fora wide variety of conditions.NOTE 11The minimum free span of gypsum board is being specifieddue to the possibility that gypsum board flexure during movement testingin the z-direction will influence the results.8.1.5
49、 Other substrate types, thicknesses, and variations shallbe permitted to be tested, as needed, to produce data that isrepresentative of field conditions that are not well representedby the concrete or gypsum test assemblies specified in 8.1.1through 8.1.4. When materials, dimensions, or characteristicsdifferent than those specified in 8.1.1 through 8.1.4 are used forthe test assembly, indicate in the test report that a non-standardtest assembly was used, as well as why that non-standard testassembly
