1、Designation: E 859 93 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Test Method forAir Erosion of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs)Applied to Structural Members1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 859; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, i
2、n the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1
3、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 materials. The test method is applicable only to labora-tory procedures.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regar

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining theeffect of an air
10、 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.5. Significance and Use5.1 It is the inte

Such tests evaluatethe resistance to dusting, flaking, spalling, and delamination ofthe SFRM.6. Apparatus6.1 Duct System, made of galvanized steel, horizontally
16、positioned, with one rectangular opening 0.37 m2(4 ft2)inthecenter of the top of the duct and 50 mm (2 in.) from eachvertical side.6.2 Pitot Tube, used in conjunction with a suitable manom-eter, as described in ASHRAE Handbook, Fundamentals, under“Velocity Measurement,” to measure air velocities in
17、the duct.6.3 Blower, capable of moving air through the entire crosssection of the duct at a velocity sufficient to handle the testrequirement.6.4 Filters, upstream from the test specimen (at the blowerend) and located downstream of the test specimen. These filtersshall be made of 30-denier nylon. Th
