Significance and Use5.1 The flexural properties evaluated by this test method are intended to provide any one or all of the following:5.1.1 Data on the comparative effects of fire-retardant chemical formulations and environmental conditions on the flexuralproperties of plywood.5.1.2 Data

23、h the procedures of this test method may be used withother information to establish recommended roof sheathing spans for fire-retardant treated plywood.NOTE 1Temperatures lower than the test temperature specified in this test method and the cumulative effects of the elevated temperatures andhumidity

24、 exposures expected to be encountered in service should be taken into account when recommended roof sheathing spans are established.NOTE 2Practice D6305 can be used to extend the laboratory strength data obtained by this test method to design value recommendations. The testdata determined by this te

25、st method are used to develop adjustment factors for fire-retardant treatments to apply to untreated plywood design values. Thetest data are used in conjunction with climate models and other factors.6. Test Specimens6.1 Material Selection:6.1.1 Source panels for this test shall be selected from grad

26、e marked PS 1 or PS 2 commercially available 3, 4, or 5 ply panelsof a single thickness, grade, construction, and bond durability. The nominal panel thickness shall be between 12 mm (1532 in.) and16 mm (58 in.).NOTE 3Southern Pine is suggested as the test material because it requires higher fire-ret

27、ardant chemical retentions to obtain the same flame spreadrating compared to other softwood plywood species. Because the bending strength of treated plywood correlates to the chemical retention levels, SouthernPine plywood is believed to represent a worst case scenario for the same chemical formulat

28、ion and treating/redrying procedures. Thus, evaluation of otherspecies of plywood by testing of that species, rather than by application of southern pine test results, are considered to be indicative of that species only.6.1.2 Select source panels that provide bending strength specimens after cuttin

29、g with clear essentially straight-grained faces freeof scoring or other manufacturing defects. The inner plies shall be essentially free of voids, core gaps, and core laps (see 7.3.4.2).Panels shall have generally uniform grain orientation and percent latewood along and across the panel faces. A min

30、imum of sixsheets of plywood meeting this description is required. Alternate 610 mm (2 ft) long sections to be treated and adjacent untreated610 mm (2 ft) sections (see Fig. 1) shall have visually similar wood quality.6.1.2.1 Specimens shall be inspected and the culling of specimens done as necessar

31、y in accordance with the criteria in 7.3.4.NOTE 4A minimum of six sheets of plywood is required but culling of specimens may require more sheets.6.1.3 The specimen cutting pattern and numbering sequence is shown in Fig. 1. Each panel of plywood is to be labeled witha number from 1 to 6. Cut each she

32、et crosswise to provide 610 mm by 1220-mm (2 by 4-ft) sections. Each section is labeled withthe sheet number and letterA, B, C, or D. TheAand C sections of each of the six panels is to be treated, while the B and D sectionsof the six panels are to remain untreated.D5516 1726.2 Treatment:6.2.1 Pressu

33、re For applications requiring conformance to building code requirements for “fire-retardant-treated-wood” based onTest Method E84 test extended to 30 min or Test Method E2768, pressure treat the A and C section of each of the six plywoodpanels with the fire-retardant formulation being tested. The ga

34、ge retention level of each charge shall not be less than the valuemidway between the middle of the retention range and the maximum retention as specified by the agency certifying the flamespread indexsurface burning characteristics of the treated plywood. The retention range specified by the certify

35、ing agency shallresult in specimens that provide a flame-spread index of 25 or less when tested in accordance with Test Method and be reportedas showing E84 for 10 min, show no evidence of significant progressionprogressive combustion when the test is continued for anadditional 20-min throughout the

36、 30-min period, and not allow progression of the flame front beyond a distance of 3.2 m (10.5ft) beyond the centerline of the burners anytime during the 30-min extended test.6.2.1.1 Alternate methods or processes of imparting fire-retardant properties can be substituted for pressure treatment forpur

37、poses of this test method since this method evaluates the impact of the fire retardant method on the properties of the underlyingplywood.6.2.1.2 The provisions of 6.2.1 are not intended to prevent use of this test method when the fire-retardant treatments beingcertified are for applications other th

38、an those requiring conformance to AWPA C-27,AWPA U1, NFPA 703, or similar buildingcode requirements for “fire-retardant-treated wood” that require the Test Method E2768 or Test Method E84 test extended to 30min. When alternative performance criteria for the treatment are being certified, the test re

39、port on specimens of that treatment shallstate clearly the alternative performance criteria and that the treatment retention was limited to that required for the alternativeperformance criteria.6.2.2 Weigh all plywood sections before and immediately after treatment to determine the chemical retentio

40、n based on thesolution retained and the concentration of chemicals in the solution. Complete a treating report for each charge of material todocument the treating cycle, times, pressures, and plywood retentions.6.3 Post-Treatment Drying:6.3.1 After pressure treatment, kiln dry the twelve treated ply

41、wood sections to a maximum moisture content of 15 % followingthe standard redrying procedures established for the treatment by the manufacturer. Redry the sections at the manufacturersmaximum specified dry bulb temperature with a minus 2C (4F) tolerance for 21 h of the first 24-h period. For the rem

42、ainder ofthe drying period, the tolerance shall be minus 3C (5F). There is no upper limit on the redrying temperature. Sticker all plywoodsections to obtain proper air flow across the panels and to provide even drying. If the manufacturers procedures permit doublestacking of panels intended for stru

43、ctural application, treated plywood test sections also shall be double stacked rather thanstickered individually.NOTE 5Research has shown that high kiln drying temperatures can adversely affect the structural properties of wood products. TheAWPAand NFPAstandards for fire retardant treated wood produ

44、cts limit kiln dry bulb temperatures. AWPA C-27 requires that the dry bulb temperature of the kiln notexceed 70C71C (160F) during any kiln drying of plywood treated with fire retardants. In the case of exterior fire retardants that require curing at highertemperatures, curing after the moisture cont

45、ent is 15 % or less is permitted. However, such elevated curing temperatures must not exceed 99C (210F)and the total curing time must not exceed 48 h. In NFPA 703, the dry bulb temperature must not exceed 70C71C (160F) until the average moisturecontent of the wood has dropped to 25 % or less.NOTE 6T

46、o establish the worst-case flexural properties of treated softwood plywood, the laboratory must redry the test material within a small negativetolerance of the maximum temperature used by the manufacturer. Therefore, there is no upper limit for the temperature used in the tests. If a manufacturerdes

47、ires to establish conservative property values or provide a basis for evaluating production material that exceeds the limit, the test material can beredried at that temperature. A manufacturer then is allowed to determine the necessary production schedule for their treatment and equipment orconditio

48、ns. Thus, a stepped schedule (for example, 10 h at 54C (130F), 10 h at 60C (140F), 10 h at 71C (160F), etc.) is allowed by the standard,provided the maximum temperature tolerance requirement is met. These provisions provide for air-drying production material provided the redryconditions for the test

49、 materials are within the tolerance of the maximum temperature specified by the manufacturer.FIG. 1 Plywood Cutting PatternD5516 1736.3.2 Monitor the moisture content of the plywood sections during the drying cycle by individually weighing the sections.Reduce as much as possible damage or warp during the drying process by adequately supporting the sections. Keep awell-documented kiln charge report and kiln recorder chart detailing the drying cycle and parameters.6.4 Specimen Preparation:6.4.1 After drying, cut the treated an
