32、est according to 5.3.3, verification of the effective throw according to 5.3.4, leak-tightness according to 5.3.5 and hydrodynamic behaviour according to 5.3.6. NOTE Guidance for acceptance tests on delivery is given in Annex A. The following pressures shall be used for the determination of the hydr

33、aulic characteristics. reference pressure: pR= (5 0,1) bar; nominal pressure: pN= 16 bar; test pressure: pt= 25,5 bar burst pressure: pB= 60 bar. 5.3.2 Sensitivity to heat Branchpipes shall resist the heat test defined below. Verification It shall be possible to use the foam branchpipe without restr

34、icting its function after it has been stored for 24 h at (55 2) C. This test shall be conducted with water only. Hand protection should be used when carrying out this test. 5.3.3 Sensitivity to frost Branchpipes shall resist the frost test defined below. Verification The foam branchpipe shall be dis

35、connected following operation for 1 min at the reference pressure pR. It shall then be drained for 1 min and stored at a temperature of (-15 2) C for 30 min. Following this, it shall still be possible to move the operating elements manually. Hand protection should be used when carrying out this test

36、. 5.3.4 Effective throw The branchpipe shall achieve a minimum effective throw deffas given in Table 4 and shown in Figure 1, when set at the reference pressure. Combination hand-held foam branchpipes shall meet both relevant requirements for low and medium expansion as specified in Table 4. BS EN 1
