Standard Test Method for Fire Test of Non-Mechanical Fire Dampers Used in Vented Construction

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method provides for the following observations, measurements and evaluations of an open state during the test fire.

5.1.1 Ability of the test specimen to resist the passage of flames, radiation, and hot gases caused by sudden direct flame impingement.

5.1.2 Transmission of heat through the test specimen.

5.2 This test method does not provide the following:

5.2.1 Evaluation of the degree to which the test assembly contributes to the fire hazard by generation of smoke, toxic gases, or other products of combustion.

5.2.2 Measurement of the degree of control or limitation of the passage of smoke or products of combustion through the test specimen or the test assembly.

5.2.3 Measurement of flame spread over the surface of the test specimen or the test assembly.

5.2.4 Durability of the test specimen or test assembly under actual service conditions, including the effects of cycled temperature.

5.2.5 Effects of a load on the test specimen or test assembly.

5.2.6 Any other attributes of the test specimen or the test assembly, such as wear resistance, chemical resistance, air infiltration, water-tightness, and so forth.

5.3 The results of this test method shall not be used as an alternative to, or a substitute for, requirements for a required fire resistance rating of building construction.
