18、raturesand humidity (see 6.5).5.2 Data from the first two procedures in this test method ofevaluation are indicative only for that species.NOTE 1The results of the three listed species (Southern pine, Douglasfir, and either white spruce or a Spruce/Fir mixture) may be used togetherto make inference

19、on untested wood species because the three testedspecies represent the full spectrum of expected treatability.5.3 Data from the optional third part of this three-partmethod of evaluation are indicative for all species because it isprimarily used to assess size effects.6. Procedures6.1 Treatment:6.1.

20、1 Pressure treat those pieces designated for treatmentwith the fire-retardant formulation being evaluated. The gageretention level of each charge shall not be less than themidpoint of the retention range as specified for the species bythe agency certifying the flame spread index of the treatedlumber

21、. The retention range specified by the certifying agencyshall provide a flame-spread index of 25 or less when tested inaccordance with Test Method E84 for 10 min, show noevidence of significant progression combustion when the test iscontinued for an additional 20-min period and not allowprogression

22、of the flame front beyond a distance of 3.2 m (10.5ft) beyond the centerline of the burners anytime during the30-min extended test.6.1.1.1 The provisions of 6.1.1 are not intended to preventuse of this test standard when the fire-retardant treatmentsbeing certified are for applications other than th

23、ose requiringconformance to AWPA C20, NFPA 703, or similar buildingcode requirements for “fire-retardant-treated wood” that re-quire the Test Method E84 test extended to 30 min. Whenalternative performance criteria for the treatment are beingcertified, the test report on specimens of that treatment

24、shallstate clearly the alternative performance criteria and that thetreatment retention was limited to that required for the alter-native performance criteria.6.1.2 Weigh all treated pieces before and immediately aftertreatment to determine the chemical retention based on thesolution retained and th

25、e concentration of chemicals in thesolution. Complete a treating report for each charge of materialto document the treating cycle, times, pressures, gage retention,and piece retentions.6.2 Post-Treatment Drying:6.2.1 After pressure treatment, kiln dry the treated pieces toa maximum moisture content

26、of 19 % following the standardredrying procedures established for the treatment and speciesby the manufacturer. Redry the treated pieces at the manufac-turers maximum specified dry bulb temperature with a minus2C (4F) tolerance for 21 h of the first 24-h period. For theremainder of the drying period

27、, the tolerance shall be minus3C (5F). There is no upper limit on the redrying temperature.Sticker all test pieces to obtain proper air flow across bothsurfaces and to provide even drying.NOTE 2Research has shown that high kiln drying temperatures canadversely affect the structural properties of woo

28、d products. TheAWPAandNFPAstandards for fire retardant treated wood products limit kiln dry bulbtemperatures. AWPA C20 requires that the dry bulb temperature of thekiln not exceed 70C (160F) during any kiln drying of plywood treatedwith fire retardants. In the case of exterior fire-retardants that r

29、equirecuring at higher temperatures, curing after the moisture content is 19 % orless is permitted. However, such elevated curing temperatures must notexceed 99C (210F) and the total curing time must not exceed 48 h. InNFPA 703, the dry bulb temperature must not exceed 70C (160F) untilthe average mo

30、isture content of the wood has dropped to 25 % or less.NOTE 3To establish the worst-case strength properties of treatedlumber, the laboratory must redry the test material within a small negativetolerance of the maximum temperature used by the manufacturer. There-fore, there is no upper limit for the

31、 temperature used in the tests. If amanufacturer desires to establish conservative property values or providea basis for evaluating production material that exceeds the limit, the testmaterial can be redried at that temperature.Amanufacturer then is allowedto determine the necessary production sched

32、ule for their treatment andequipment or conditions. Thus, a stepped schedule (for example, 10 h at54C (130F), 10 h at 60C (140F); 10 h at 71C (160F), etc.) is allowedby the standard, provided the maximum temperature tolerance require-ment is met. These provisions provide for air-drying production ma

34、specified by the manufacturer.6.2.2 Monitor the moisture content of the test pieces duringthe drying cycle by individually weighing representativepieces. Keep a well-documented kiln charge report and kilnrecorder chart showing dry and wet bulb temperatures duringthe redrying period.6.3 Procedure 1Th

35、e first procedure presents a methodol-ogy using small clear wood specimens to assess the initialeffect of fire-retardant treatment on median mechanical prop-erties. The results may be used to adjust the allowable designstresses of lumber based on estimates of median reductions inbending, tension par

37、rade nominal 2 by4s (38 by 89 mm) shall be obtained and cut into 1.22m (4ft)halves. Each specimen shall be marked to identify it with itsmatched-sister(s) specimen(s). For each specimen, one 1.22-m(4ft) half shall be randomly allotted to remain untreated andthe other half assigned to be treated with

38、 the candidatefire-retardant treatment and each half shall be appropriatelymarked.NOTE 4A Spruce/Fir mixture can be obtained by obtaining CanadianSpruce-Pine-Fir and removing the Lodgepole pine and Jack pine, whichcan be visually segregated from the remaining spruces and firs of thisspecific species

39、 group. The Lodgepole pine and Jack pine have numerouslongitudinal resin canals that are generally quite evenly distributed in theouter portion of every growth ring. In the four spruces (Black, Engelmann,Red, and White), the longitudinal resin canals are generally sparse. In thetwo firs (Alpine and

40、Balsam), the longitudinal resin canals are normallyabsent.NOTE 5High Grade is a relative term, but some latitude is requiredbecause it is a common industry practice to group grades for somespecies/species groupings into “and better” categories. If available, SelectStructural often is desirable becau

41、se it provides an adequate yield of smallclear specimens. It should also be noted that initial use of $30 specimenswill usually ensure 25 acceptable specimens when using lower gradeswhich have lower yields.6.3.2 After treating and redrying are completed, each treatedand untreated nominal 2 by 4 (38

42、by 89-mm) piece shall be cutinto small clear specimens as shown in Fig. 1. Care shall betaken to avoid cutting specimens containing strength-reducingcharacteristics such as knots, cross-grain, or slope-of-grain inexcess of 1 in 12. When cutting small test specimens, anoriginal wide surface shall rem

43、ain unmachined and eachspecimen shall later be tested so that this surface is exposed tothe greater stress during that particular mechanical test. Eachend-matched treated and untreated specimen shall be testedwith the same relative surfaces in tension and compression.Tension parallel specimens shall

44、 be machined as shown in Fig.2. Horizontal shear specimens shall be machined as shown inFig. 3.6.3.3 After cutting, all specimens (treated and untreated)shall be equilibrated to constant weight at 22 + 5C (72 + 9F)and65+1%relative humidity.6.3.4 Appropriate treated and untreated specimens shall beal

45、ternately tested in bending, compression parallel, and hori-zontal shear using Test Methods D143 and tension parallelusing Test Methods D3500, but with the exceptions listed inTable 1.6.4 Procedure 2For each species (Southern pine, Douglasfir and white spruce, four sets of 25 end-matched treated and

46、untreated small clear bending and tension parallel specimensshall be cut from at least 25 nominal 2 by 4 (38 by 89 mm)2.44-m (8-ft) long pieces. These specimens shall be used toassess the differential effects of exposure to elevated tempera-ture between untreated and FR-treated clear wood specimens.

47、6.4.1 One set of 25 FR-treated and untreated specimens ofeach species shall be used as an unexposed control (that is, 0days of exposure).6.4.2 Three FR-treated and untreated groups of 25 speci-mens of each species shall be exposed in a controlled environ-ment of 66 + 2C (150 + 4F) and 50 % relative

48、humidity.6.4.3 One treated and one untreated group of 25 shall bewithdrawn after 36 +3, 72 +3, and 108 +3 days.6.4.4 Each group of specimens shall be equilibrated toconstant weight at 22 + 5C (72 + 9F) and 65+1%relativehumidity then tested in bending in accordance with TestMethods D143 and tension p
