What is ASTM E119 or UL 263?
What is ASTM E119 or UL 263?
ANSI/UL 263, the Standard for Safety of Fire Tests of Building Construction Materials, and ASTM E119, Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, were developed to simulate a building fire.
What is the ASTM E119 test?
What is ASTM E119? ASTM E119 (UL 263): tests the fire resistance of an assembly. This test evaluates the duration for which building construction materials and assemblies can either contain a fire, retain structural integrity, or both.
What is ASTM E814?
ASTM E814 is a test that evaluates a firestop under fire conditions to determine if it will gain the firestop status. The experts at VTEC can perform this essential test on your firestop system.
What is ASTM E1966?
ASTM E1966 – 15(2019) Standard Test Method for Fire-Resistive Joint Systems.
What UL 1709?
UL1709 fireproofing provides plant or facility workers up to 30 minutes to reach critical process control equipment to shut down flow of hazardous or highly flammable materials. This provides workers the opportunity to minimize the effects of an explosion or fire by preventing spreading to other locations.
How does the ASTM E119 fire resistance test work?
ASTM E119 (UL 263): tests the fire resistance of an assembly. This test evaluates the duration for which building construction materials and assemblies can either contain a fire, retain structural integrity, or both. To become one-hour fire-rated, an assembly must withstand fire for one hour before penetration to the other side occurs.
What kind of test does an ASTM E84 do?
What is ASTM E84? ASTM E84 (UL 723): tests the outside material of the assembly for flame spread and smoke development characteristics. There are two testing indexes: The flame spread index (FSI) measures the speed at which flames progress across the interior surface of a building.
What is the ANSI / UL standard for fire resistive coatings?
ANSI/UL 2431, the Standard for Durability of Fire-Resistive Coatings and Materials, is used to evaluate the protective coating against the long-term effects of environmental exposure, often a critical factor in the performance of materials as well as vibration and impact. The method is already a mandatory requirement within ANSI/UL 1709.
