Summary of Practice4.1 This practice consists of preparing a standardized testspecimen to represent test specimens described in Test Meth-ods E119,

11、 E814, E1529, E1725, E1966 and E2336. Thestandardized test specimen provides a low cost, easily con-structed supporting construction for the mounting of instru-mentation that measures the exposure imposed by the furnaceonto test specimens.4.2 The standardized test specimen consists of two layers of1

The gypsum board provides a fire-resistiv

13、e surface for the mounting of the instrumentation. Thestructural panels provide stability for the steel support chan-nels.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E05 on FireStandards and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E05.11 on FireResistance.Current edition approved

Significance and Use5.1 This practice describes a procedure to gather dataintended to measure the uniformity of exposure conditionsupon test specimens for the fire test methods described in TestMethods E119, E814, E1529, E1725, E1966 and E2336. Thecollected data from furnaces are inte

19、nded to form a basis forperformance requirements for the furnaces described in thereferenced standards.5.2 This practice does not include requirements for furnaceperformance.5.3 In this procedure, the standardized test specimen issubjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory testconditions. I

20、f different test conditions are substituted or theend-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by orfrom this procedure to predict changes in the fire-test-responsecharacteristics measured. Therefore, the results are valid onlyfor the fire-test-exposure conditions described in this proc

21、e-dure.5.4 The attention of all persons connected with the conductof this practice is drawn to the fact that fire testing is hazardousand that there is a possibility that harmful smoke and gases aredeveloped during the test. There is also a possibility thatmechanical and operational hazards develop
