The fire resistive pipe protection syste

The following measurements and determinations are made during the fire exposureand water hose stream tests:a) Measurement of temperature on the outer surface of the pipe.b) Determination of the integrity of the fire r

A minimum

31、of 5 ft of the test specimen shall be exposed to thefire.5.1.2 The floor or wall assembly is to be constructed of materials which offer adequate support for the fireresistive pipe protection system during both the fire exposure and water hose stream tests, but which donot influence the physical fire

37、results.5.2 Conditioning5.2.1 Prior to fire testing, each fire resistive pipe protection system and floor or wall assembly is to beconditioned, if necessary, to provide a moisture condition representative of that likely to exist in similarconstructions in buildings. The floor or wall assembly may be

38、 conditioned independently of the fireresistive pipe protection systems. The test moisture condition is to be considered as that which would beestablished in equilibrium resulting from drying of a sample in air having 50% relative humidity at 73F(23C). If it is impractical to achieve this equilibriu

39、m moisture condition, the test may be conducted whenthe dampest portion of the test assembly and test sample have achieved an equilibrium moisture contentcorresponding to drying in air having 50 to 75% relative humidity at 73 5F (23 3C).Exception: These requirements may be waived if:a) An equilibriu

40、m moisture condition is not achieved within a 12 month conditioning period; orb) The construction is such that drying of the interior of the assembly is prevented by hermeticsealing of the construction materials. In these cases, the conditioning need then be continuedonly until the test assembly has

41、 developed sufficient strength to retain the test samples securelyin position.5.2.2 A procedure with electric sensing elements may be used to determine the relative humidity withina test assembly and test sample made of materials other than concrete.5.3 Protection of assembly and sample5.3.1 The tes

42、ting equipment, test sample and assembly are to be protected from any condition of wind orweather that might influence the test results. The ambient air temperature at the beginning of the test isto be within the range of 50 to 90F (10 to 32C). The velocity of air across the unexposed surface of the

43、test sample, measured immediately before the test begins, is not to exceed 4.4 ft/s (1.3 m/s) asdetermined by an anemometer placed at right angles to the unexposed surface. If mechanical ventilationis employed during the test, an air stream is not to be directed across the surface of the sample.JULY
