Standard Test Method for Measuring Relative Movement Capabilities of Through-Penetration Firestop Systems

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended to standardize the cyclic movement of a through-penetration firestop system prior to a fire resistance test. If the amplitude of movement in a design application can be predicted, then the numerical values of allowable movement can be used as one data point in helping to establish suitability of the through-penetration firestop system for the given application.

Note 4: The fire resistance rating of a through-penetration firestop system is established in accordance with a relevant fire test, as acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Examples of such tests include Test Method E814, CAN/ULC-S115, UL 1479, and ISO 10295-1.

5.2 This test method will assist users, producers, building officials, code authorities, and others in understanding relative movement capabilities of representative test specimens of through-penetration firestop systems under standardized test conditions.

5.3 This test method is not intended to predict the absolute movement capabilities of all likely permutations of through-penetration firestop systems under all likely types of real-life movement.

5.4 This test method does not provide information on:

5.4.1 Durability of the through-penetration firestop system under actual service conditions, including the effects of cycled temperature on the through-penetration firestop system;

5.4.2 Rotational shear capabilities of the test specimen;

5.4.3 Any other attributes of the test specimen, such as wear resistance, chemical resistance, air infiltration, water-tightness, and so forth; and

5.4.4 Compatibility of through-penetration firestop system components and the penetrating items.

5.5 This test method is only to be used as one element in the selection of a through-penetration firestop system for a particular application.

5.6 This is not a fire test standard. To determine the effect of cyclic movement on the fire resistance rating of a though-penetration firestop system, conduct a fire test in accordance with a fire resistance test method acceptable to the Authority Having Jurisdiction subsequent to this movement test.
