Thesetest methods are intended to evaluate the resistance of a ceilingto violent attacks by sustained manpower using batteringdevices, such as benches, barbells, bunks, or tables; and by anupward static for
17、ce such that could be applied by an inmatepushing against the ceiling with his hands, feet, or back (that is,squat position on a top bunk in a cell).Attacks from outside thefacility and fire resistance ratings are not addressed in thisstandard.4.3 The primary purpose or result of these test methods
18、is toapproximate the levels of abuse to which horizontal fixedbarriers could possibly be subjected in the field. The desiredresult of its use is to help provide assurance of protection to thepublic, to facility personnel, and to the inmates themselves.4.4 It is recommended that detention/correctiona
19、l facilityadministration provide adequate training, supervision, andpreventive maintenance programs to enable horizontal fixedbarriers to function as intended throughout the expected servicelife.5.

Specimen Preparation6.1 Construction:6.1.1 The construction of the test ceiling shall be represen-tative of the ceiling as it will be placed in service.6.1.2 Required results indicated in T
22、able 1 are based upon asample size of 8 ft (2438 mm) long by 8 ft (2438 mm) wide 61 in. (25.4 mm).6.2 Impact Test Fixture:6.2.1 The test ceiling support fixture shall simulate therigidity normally provided to a ceiling in a building byadjoining walls and by support from the floor or roof above(Fig.
23、1).6.2.2 It is acceptable to modify the test ceiling supportfixture from that shown in order to accommodate longerlengths or larger sizes of test samples.6.2.3 Description of the Test CeilingThe test ceiling shallbe constructed and mounted horizontally in the test fixture andshall be supported as de

The ceiling specification shall be included as part ofthe test report.6.3 Ceiling Construction or Mounting for Impact Testing:6.3.1 Construct and install the test ceiling as shown in Fig.1. The ceiling test sample shown in Fig. 1 represents a ceiling
25、design which requires a structural support at the center of thetest opening. Ceiling systems that do not require a centersupport shall be installed such that the ceiling panels span the8 ft (2438 mm) test opening and are not supported by theoverhead structural channel support. Position the specified
26、 testapparatus underneath the test ceiling in preparation to admin-ister the series of impacts and static loads described in 7.1.4and 7.2.4.7. Procedures7.1 Ceiling System Impact Test:7.1.1 ScopeThis test method is designed to evaluate thecapability of a complete test ceiling to resist repetitive im
27、pactforces at the designated critical areas.7.1.2 Significance and Use:7.1.2.1 This test method is intended to closely simulate asustained, vertical battering ram style attack and provide anevaluation of the capability of the assembly to prevent, delay,and frustrate escape or access, or both, into o
28、verhead “inter-stitial” spaces and other unauthorized areas. The test has thepotential to be used to aid in identifying a level of physicalsecurity for various configurations of horizontal fixed barriers.7.1.2.2 An impact test of this design performed on acomplete test ceiling evaluates the impact f

30、e horizontalposition (Fig. 1), and for applying the required series ofimpacts applied upward at the target areas designated in Table1.7.1.3.2 The impact test device (Fig. 2) shall consist of aportable impactor that converts vertically downward impactenergy to the equivalent vertically upward impact
31、energy, andthat upon release will deliver impacts against the test ceiling.The impactor arm shall be fabricated as shown in Fig. 2, andshall be balanced, smooth operating, and frictionless to within6 lmb placed at mass end of the impactor arm, prior toattachment of the 133 lbm impact mass. The appar

The sharpnessof the impact p
35、oint shall be similar to the end of a newFiremans axe at the beginning of the test sequence.7.1.4 Procedure:F2697 1527.1.4.1 With the test fixture and apparatus, deliver the seriesof impacts listed in Table 1 to the test ceiling.7.1.4.2 Construct and mount the 8 ft (2438 mm) high by 8ft (2438 mm) 6
36、1 in. (25.4 mm) wide test ceiling supported onall four sides from the ceiling test fixture illustrated in Fig. 1 inthe manner that it would be supported in an actual fieldinstallation. If the ceiling design requires control joints orseams, these control joints or seams shall be included in the testc
37、eiling for the purpose of testing. Impact testing against theinterstitial space side of the ceiling sample is not required.7.1.4.3 Install the ceiling panel with the exposed, or “room,”side surface facing downward and the unexposed, or “intersti-tial space,” side surface facing upward.7.1.4.4 Apply
38、the required number of impacts in accordancewith Table 1 to the underneath, or “room,” side of the testceiling. If there are no predicted weak points in the test ceiling,apply the impacts to target areas designated in Table 1. If thereare predicted weak points other than the target locations, suchas
39、 seams, unsupported edges, or other types of ceiling joints,apply the impacts at one of those locations. Repeatability ofimpact location during each series shall be 62 in. (51 mm)horizontally from the designated impact target.7.1.4.5 Using the test apparatus in accordance with 7.1.3,begin the series
40、 of strikes against the selected target area of thetest ceiling for the number of required impacts, first with theblunt impactor followed by the sharp impactor attached to theram in cyclic sequences of 50 impacts each. The requiredimpact energy for the blunt impactors is 200 ftlbf (271.2 J) perimpac
41、t, and the required impact energy for the sharp impactoris 100 ftlbf (135.6 J) per impact.7.1.4.6 During the test, reposition the impact device asnecessary to produce the maximum possible duress on the testFIG. 1 Fixed Overhead Barrier Test FixtureF2697 153ceiling, leading to ceiling failure. The ti
42、me for repositioningand changing of the impactors is not to be included in the testduration time. Record the number of strikes required toproduce the first penetration of the ceiling, and the number ofstrikes required to produce an opening large enough to achieveforcible egress.7.1.4.7 Apply the req
