- Scope
This test method provides for the following measurements and evaluations:
Movement capacity of the perimeter fire barrier.
Loadbearing capacity of the perimeter joint protection is optional.
Ability of the perimeter fire barrier to resist the passage of flames and hot gases.
Transmission of heat through the perimeter fire barrier.
This test method does not provide the following:
Evaluation of the degree to which the perimeter fire barrier contributes to the fire hazard by generation of smoke, toxic gases, or other products of combustion,
Measurement of the degree of control or limitation of the passage of smoke or products of combustion through the perimeter fire barrier,
Note 18212;This test method does not measure the quantity of smoke or hot gases through the floor assembly, the wall assembly, or the perimeter joint protection.
Measurement of flame spread over the surface of the perimeter fire barrier,
Note 28212;The information in 5.2.1 through 5.2.3 are determined by other suitable fire test methods. For example, Test Method E84 is used to determine 5.2.3.
Durability of the test specimen under actual service conditions, including the effects of cycled temperature,
Effects of a load on the movement cycling of the perimeter fire barrier established by this test method,
Rotational, vertical, and horizontal shear capabilities of the test specimen,
Any other attributes of the test specimen, such as wear resistance, chemical resistance, air infiltration, water-tightness, and so forth, and
A measurement of the capability of the test specimen to resist:
Flame propagation over the exterior faces of the test specimen,
Spread of flame within the combustible core component of the exterior wall assembly from one story to the next,
Note 38212;Some exterior wall assemblies are made from sandwich panels, which use EPS foam or other similar materials that are combustible.
Spread of flame over the interior surface (room side) of the test specimen from one story to the next, and
Note 48212;While it is a failure to have fire on the interior surface of the observation room, this test method does not provide a measurement of that flame spread.
Lateral spread of flame from the compartment of fire origin to adjacent spaces.
Note 58212;The exterior wall assembly, floor assembly, and perimeter joint protection are individual components. The capabilities of individual components are not part of this specific test method's Conditions of Compliance.
In this test method, the test specimens are subjected to one or more specific test conditions. When different test conditions are substituted or the end-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by, or from, this test method to predict changes to the characteristics measured.
This test method is not intended to be used as the only test method in the selection of a perimeter fire barrier. It is not intended as a specification for all attributes required by a perimeter fire barrier, or any of its individual components, in order for a perimeter fire barrier to be used in a particular application.
1.1 This test method measures the performance of the perimeter fire barrier and its ability to maintain a seal to prevent fire spread during the deflection and deformation of the exterior wall assembly and floor assembly during the fire test, while resisting fire exposure from an interior compartment fire as well as fro......
