Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of sealing the test specimeninto or against one face of a test chamber, supplying air to thechamber at a ratio required to maintain the test pressuredifference across the specimen, and observing, measuring, andrecording the deflection, defo
18、rmations, stresses (if recorded),and nature of any failures of principal or critical members orthe entire specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 Blast resistant doors are designed to protect against theproblems and dangers created by a planned or accidentalexplosion or pressure leak. This test method w

Specimen Preparation6.1 ConstructionThe door panel shall meet the generaldefinition of a metal door as outl
20、ined in 3.1.1. The test methodis general and does not limit the door manufacturer to a specificdoor panel construction or fabrication process. Ultimately, thedesign of the door panel is based upon the target pressure ratingestablished by the specifier or door manufacturer.6.1.1 The size of the speci
21、men (door panel and frame) shallbe representative or larger than the application under investi-gation.6.1.2 Configuration and spacing of the door panels internalstiffeners will be as designed by the specifier or the doormanufacturer. Space between stiffeners may be filled withinsulation.6.1.3 The ty
22、pical door panel shall be considered as a threeside supported, one edge free loading condition for a seatingload case. Generally, the bottom edge of the door panel is free(no structural threshold). If the door assembly does have astructural threshold, the door panel may be considered as a fourside s
23、upported condition for a seating load case. The door panelis supported by the restraining hardware during the unseatingload case. The door panel will be attached to the frame with thesame quantity and size of hinge fasteners that the specifier orthe door manufacturer intends to use in the actual doo
24、rinstallation. The door frame will be attached to the test fixtureusing the same quantity, size, and spacing of fasteners oranchors that the specifier or door manufacturer intends to usein the actual door installation.7.

The specimen remains intact and respondselastically.11.1.1.1 Acceptance:FIG. 1 Schematic of Test ArrangementF2247033(1) After the specimen has been unloaded, verify that thedeflection gages have returned to zero reading with a toleranceof +2 mm (564 in.

For an unseating loadtest, the latching mechanism is permitted to fail, allowing thedoor to swing open; however,
46、the door panel shall remainsupported by the hinges and it is evident that the door panelwill not become a flying debris hazard.11.1.4.1 Acceptance:(1) After the specimen has been unloaded, verify that themeasurable deformation is acceptable to the end use of thedoor.(2) Verify that the specimen rema

48、be given that performance of the doorassembly, of the wall or its components, or both, may be afunction of fabrication, installation, and adjustment, and thatthe test specimen is or is not truly representative the actualstructure. In service, the performance depends on the rigidity ofsupporting cons
49、truction and on the resistance of components todeterioration by various causes.12. Procedure12.1 The door shall be installed in the test fixture as shownin Figs. 4 and 5 for an unseating load case and as shown inFigs. 6 and 7 for a seating load case.
