Test Specimen7.1 Laboratory Tests:7.1.1 The test specimens shall be SFRM applied to 1.5 mm(0.06 in. (16 ga.), 400 by 400 mm (16 by 16 in.) bare orgalvanized steel plates.7.1.2 T
19、he specimens shall be conditioned for a period of notless than 72 h at room temperature, 20 6 5C (686 9F) anda relative humidity not greater than 60 %, until successiveweight readings, taken at 24 h intervals, differ by less than 1 %.7.2 Field Tests:7.2.1 As an alternate to 7.1.2, the specimens shal
20、l be forcedried at a temperature of 43 6 6C (109 6 10F) and arelative humidity not greater than 60 % until successive read-ings, taken at 8 h intervals, differ by less than 1 %.8. Procedure8.1 Thickness:8.1.1 Selected areas to be measured for thickness shall be apredetermined, repetitive pattern to
21、ensure obtaining represen-tative average thickness.8.1.2 Determine the thickness by inserting the penetratingpin of the thickness gage perpendicular to and through theSFRM, to the substrate. When the point of the pin touches thesubstrate, move the sliding disk to the SFRM surface withsufficient forc
22、e on the disk to register the average plane of thesurface. Withdraw the gage to read the thickness in 1 mm (116in.) increments as shown by the position of the sliding clipindicator.8.1.2.1 For the purpose of averaging measurements, anymeasurement 6 mm (14 in.) or more, over the required designthickn
23、ess, shall be recorded as the design thickness plus 6 mm.No individual measured thickness shall be more than 6 mmless, or more than 25 % less, than the required design thick-ness.NOTE 1Specific fire resistance rating criteria for beams, trusses, andcolumns may allow for a reduced thickness on flange
24、 tips. Thesethicknesses are to be averaged apart from other sections of the structuralmember. Also, some fire rating assemblies have different thicknessrequirements for crests and valleys of floor decks and should be averagedapart.NOTE 2Medium and high density SFRM may be too hard to test forthickne
25、ss by standard procedure. It is recommended to check thicknessesimmediately after application, and before curing.The applicator shall adjust the thickness of the freshly applied SFRM toyield thickness after cure, in accordance with the SFRM manufacturersrecommendations.If the product is cured and to
26、o hard to insert the thickness gage, drillsmall diameter holes into the product just large enough to accommodatethe thickness gage pin. The thickness gage is then inserted into these holesand thickness is determined by the standard procedure. These holes are tobe closed off immediately following the
27、 test using the same SFRM.8.1.3 Conducting Thickness TestingOne bay per floor orone bay for each 10 000 ft2, whichever provides the greaternumber of tests. Thickness determinations for the followingstructural elements shall be conducted in each randomlyselected bay: one selected area of metal deck,
28、concrete slab, orwall section; one column; and one beam (joist or truss).NOTE 3The applicable building code governs. Consult the applicablebuilding code for exact requirements and tolerances.8.1.4 Tests for the Deck and Wall Section:8.1.4.1 Flat DecksIn the preselected area, lay out a 300mm (12 in.)
29、 square. Take four random symmetrical measure-ments within that square and report as an average. (See Note1.)8.1.4.2 Fluted DecksIn the preselected area, lay out a 300mm (12 in.) square. Take four random symmetrical measure-ments within that square, one each of the following: valley,crest, and sides
30、, and report as an average. (See Note 1.)8.1.5 Test for Beams, Joists (Trusses), and Columns:FIG. 1 Thickness GageE 605 93 (2006)28.1.5.1 BeamsFor each preselected beam, lay out one 300mm (12 in.) length and take nine thickness measurements (seeFig. 2) at each end of the 300 mm length (see Fig. 3).
31、(SeeNotes 1 and 2.)8.1.5.2 Joists (Trusses)For each preselected joist (truss),lay out one 300 mm (12 in.) length and take seven thicknessmeasurements (see Fig. 4) at each end of the 300 mm length(see Fig. 5). (See Notes 1 and 2.)8.1.5.3 ColumnsFor each preselected column, lay out one300 mm (12 in.)
32、length and take twelve thickness measure-ments (see Fig. 6) at each end of the 300 mm length (see Fig.7). (See Notes 1 and 2.)8.1.5.4 Beams, Joists (Trusses), and ColumnsAverage,separately, the 18 thickness measurements for the beams, the14 thickness measurements for the joists (trusses), and the 24
33、thickness measurements for the columns. (A sample data sheetis shown in Fig. 8.) (See Notes 1 and 2.)8.1.6 Thickness DeficiencyAn item (deck, column, beam,or joist) is deficient if:8.1.6.1 An individual measured thickness is more than 6mm (14 in.) less, or more than 25 % less, than the required fire
34、resistance design thickness. (See Note 3.)8.1.6.2 The calculated average thickness of the SFRM isless than that required by the design.NOTE 4A thickness to density correction formula is contained incertain fire resistance rating criteria or is available from some SFRMmanufacturers. Consult the ratin
35、g criteria and the SFRM manufacturer forspecific information before citing for deficiency.NOTE 5If an item is deficient, then only that specific item fails. Theremaining items in the bay, and like items in other areas of the building,shall not be deemed to have failed solely because the tested item
36、hasfailed. (See 8.1.7.)8.1.7 Procedure in Case of Deficiency If an item isdeficient, then it shall be corrected and retested, along withanother of that specific item (that is, another column, if acolumn has failed, and so forth) selected at random.8.2 Density:8.2.1 Conduct one density test at random
37、 on each of thefollowing protected elements, per floor or per every 930m2(10 000 ft2), whichever provides the greatest number oftests: the flat portion of the deck; a beam, either the bottom ofthe beam lower flange or the beam web; and a column, eitherthe column web or the outside of one of the colu
38、mn flanges.8.2.1.1 When density falls between the minimum averageand minimum individual values of the fire resistance design, asimilar, randomly selected element in the same area shall betested. If the average density of the two elements is then met,the area passes. If the average is not met, then t
39、hose elementsin that area must be corrected.8.2.2 Length and WidthScore the specimen around theperimeter of the template.8.2.3 ThicknessUtilizing the procedure described in 7.1,take a minimum of twelve thickness measurements, symmetri-cally. Determine thickness measurements prior to the removalof SF
40、RM. Consider the average of these twelve measurementsto be the thickness of the specimen.8.2.4 Weight3Cut the specimen through to the substrate,along the perimeter of the template.
