1、Designation: E2748 11An American National StandardStandard Guide forFire-Resistance Experiments1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2748; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis guide provides a means for ensuring comparability of findings among different researchersconducting fire-resistance experiments e

3、mploying innovative and creative variations to standard testmethods. This guide is intended to bring uniformity and consistency to tests and reports coveringfire-resistance research that is generally conducted as a variation of Test Methods E119. Its provisionsare voluntary and users are free to pic

4、k and choose from the provisions herein provided. Theoverriding goal is to make it possible to begin to provide data that ultimately can be used in fire safetyengineering and fire-resistance modeling as those fields evolve. When the purpose of the research isto study the effect of changing specific

5、individual variables on the outcome of Test Methods E119fire-resistance tests, sound research practices dictate that only one variable should be changed at atime.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the conduct of fire-resistance testsusing conditions different than those addressed in Test MethodsE119. Thi

6、s guide also addresses the reporting of data derivedfrom those tests.1.2 This guide does not provide or generate fire-resistanceratings suitable for determining compliance with code orregulatory requirements comparable to those resulting fromtests conducted in accordance with Test Methods E119.1.3 T

7、he values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values in parentheses are for information only.1.4 This guide is used to measure and describe the responseof materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame undercontrolled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate allfactors

8、required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of thematerials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-pri

Significance and Use4.1 The methods and procedures set forth in this guide relateto the conduct and reporting of fire-resistance tests obtainedfrom particular fire-resistance tested specimens tested usingconditions different than those

15、 addressed by Test MethodsE119.4.2 Data derived from fire tests conducted and reportedunder this guide are useful for general fire research and aspotential input data for use in fire models.4.3 It is necessary that users of this guide have knowledgeand understanding of the provisions of Test Methods

16、 E119,including those pertaining to conditions of acceptance in orderto understand how the alternative test conditions relate to thosespecified in Test Methods E119.4.4 Users of this guide should be aware that tests conductedusing exposure conditions different than those specified in TestMethods E11

17、9 do not provide or generate fire resistance ratingssuitable for determining compliance with code or regulatoryrequirements.4.4.1 In Test Methods E119, standard test specimens aresubjected to specific exposure conditions. Substitution ofdifferent exposure conditions can change the measured fire-test

18、-response characteristics of a test specimen. Therefore, thedata are valid for only the alternative exposure conditions used.5. General Principles5.1 Except as specifically modified herein, fire-resistancetests should be conducted using the test furnaces, exposureconditions, test specimens, instrume

19、ntation, and acceptancecriteria set forth in Test Methods E119.5.2 Although it is possible to vary many variables at onetime, and it may be desirable to do so when evaluating theresponse of a specimen to specific design fire conditions, it isusually desirable to vary only one parameter at a time whe

20、ncomparing results from two or more tests or when evaluatingthe effect on fire resistance of changing a specific variable.5.3 LimitationsThe test data is valid for only the speci-men and parameters used in the test.6.
