3、se.1NOTEDesignation was changed to dual and units information was corrected editorially in August 2015.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining theeffect of an air stream upon sprayed fire-resistive materials(SFRMs). These SFRMs include sprayed fibrous and cemen-titious materi

The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combi
5、ningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method covers a procedure for determi
11、ning theeffect of an air stream upon SFRM in plenums. In this testmethod, the SFRM is subjected to a tangential air stream for aminimum of 24 h. Collection filters downstream from thesample are weighed at frequent intervals to determine theamount of material removed from the sample.1This test method

Significance and Use5.1 It is the intent of this t
15、est method to determine propertiesof SFRM that may be used to provide an indication ofserviceability. Satisfactory performance of SFRM applied tostructural members and assemblies depends upon its ability towithstand the various influences that may occur during con-struction and during the life of th
16、e structure, as well as upon itsperformance under fire conditions.5.2 Air erosion tests on SFRMs are conducted to evaluatethe behavior of the SFRM when subjected to plenum airstreams during normal service conditions. Such tests evaluatethe resistance to dusting, flaking, spalling, and delamination o
