Standard Practice for Specimen Preparation and Mounting of Tapes to Assess Surface Burning Characteristics

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Building products made with tapes are often used for applications for which Test Method E84 is used for compliance with building, life safety code or mechanical code requirements. This practice describes, in detail, specimen mounting procedures for tapes.

5.2 Codes are often silent with regard to testing tapes for the assessment of flame spread and smoke development as surface burning characteristics. This practice describes specimen preparation and mounting procedures for such materials and products.

5.3 The material shall be representative of the materials used in actual field installations.

5.4 The limitations for this procedure are those associated with Test Method E84.
