BS 476 Building Construction and Materials Vertical Fire Resistance Test Furnace

BS 476 Building Construction and Materials Vertical Fire Resistance Test Furnace

1. Overview

ASTM E119 Laboratory Vertical Fire Resistance Test Furnace Of Building Construction and Materials consists of fire test furnace, control cabinet, gas system, purification system, sample test stand, gas flow measurement system, temperature measurement system and pressure measurement and control system. 

2. Application

Applicable to sheet metal structural parts, the fire resistance characteristics are determined under standard fire conditions. The device can be used to determine the fire resistance characteristics of the frame door, non-frame door, rolling shutter door, the fireproof glass and the like under standard fire conditions.

The test methods described in this fire-test-response standard are applicable to assemblies of masonry units and to composite assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including loadbearing and other walls and partitions, columns, girders, beams, slabs, and composite slab and beam assemblies for floors and roofs. They are also applicable to other assemblies and structural units that constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building.

 It adopts WINDOWS 10 operation interface and LabView, a global precision equipment development software. The interface style is fresh, beautiful and simple. During the test, the measurement results are displayed in real time and the perfect curve is dynamically drawn. The data can be saved, read and printed permanently, and the report can be printed directly. It has high intelligence, guided menu operation, simple and intuitive features, and makes the test results more accurate. It is suitable for the fire resistance test of load-bearing vertical partition members and non-load-bearing vertical partition members.

ASTM E119:2012 Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials
ASTM E 119 standard for fire test methods of building and materials
Fire resistant building materials need to have fire-resistant performance in actual use, not only fire-retardant performance. The better the flame-retardant performance of the material, it can only represent that the material itself does not burn, but it can not guarantee that it can effectively block the flame penetration. For fire-resistant building materials, after the fire-retardant performance reaches certain requirements (ASTM E84, BS 476-6 / 7, NF P92-507, DIN 4102, EN 13501, GB 8624, etc.), the fire-resistant capacity of materials as a structure shall be tested.

ASTM E119, BS 476-20, EN 1363 and other standards are the test standards for fire resistance, of which ASTM E119 is the most severe.
ASTM E119 Scope of application
1. Bearing Walls And Partitions
2. Nonbearing Walls And Partitions
3. Columns
4. Structural Steel Columns
5. Floors And Roofs
6. Loaded Restrained Beams
7. Solid Structural Steel Beams And Girders
8. Protective Membranes In Wall, Partition, Floor, Or Roof Assemblies

ASTM E 119 Reference standards
ASTM C 569 Test Method for Indentation Hardness of Preformed Thermal Insulations
ASTM E 176 Terminology of Fire Standards
ASTM E 119 test requirements
The method is based on the duration of the fire resistance, from 20 minutes to 3 hours. The evaluation indexes include whether the back fire surface of the product is open fire, whether the surface temperature rises, whether there is smoke leakage, and whether it is resistant to the impact of high-pressure fire water gun.
Reference value point of combustion curve (furnace temperature and temperature duration):
1000°F (538°C) at 5 min
1300°F (704°C) at 10 min
1550°F (843°C) at 30 min
1700°F (927°C) at 1 h
1850°F (1010°C) at 2 h
2000°F (1093°C) at 4 h
2300°F (1260°C) at 8 h or higher

Construction products generally suitable for ASTM E119:
Aluminum composite panel
Plasterboard
Mineral wool board
FRP products
Fiber cement partition board, etc

ASTM As a standard of American standard fire test, E119 is quoted by many other standards, such as UL10C for fire door test, etc., national building code IBC, IRC, Canadian building code NBC, NRC, American building assessment organization (issuing qualification certificates of building materials used in construction projects), ICC-ES, Canadian building assessment system CCMC and other standard test methods for building product fire protection ASTM E108 is adopted for roof fire protection, NFPA 285 (can / ULC s134 in Canada) is adopted for exterior wall facing materials, and UBC 26-3 is adopted for interior wall facing to resist internal fire.

Can / ULC is required for exterior wall products and systems (aluminum plastic panel curtain wall, glass curtain wall, honeycomb panel curtain wall, etc.) exported to Canada
