Scope

5.1 These test methods are intended to evaluate the ability of the grease duct enclosure system to do the following:

5.1.1 Resist the effects of a standardized fire exposure,

5.1.2 Retain its integrity, or

5.1.3 Exhibit both properties dependent upon the type of test assembly involved during a predetermined test exposure.

5.2 These test methods provide for the following measurements and evaluations where applicable:

5.2.1 Capability of the enclosure material to resist flaming (combustion) when exposed to 1382°F (750°C).

5.2.2 Loadbearing ability of the tested support system and fastening system to carry the load of the grease duct enclosure system during a standardized fire-engulfment test.

5.2.3 Ability of a fire stop to meet the requirements of Test Method E814 when used with a grease duct enclosure system.

5.2.4 Ability of the enclosure material to resist the passage of flames and hot gases during a standardized fire resistance test and a standardized internal fire test.

5.2.5 Transmission of heat through the grease duct and the enclosure material(s) during a standardized fire resistance test and a standardized internal fire test.

5.2.6 Ability of the grease duct enclosure system to resist the passage of water during a standardized hose stream test.

5.2.7 Comparative measurement of temperature aging of the enclosure material(s) when subjected to standardized cyclic thermal transmissions.

5.3 These test methods do not provide the following:

5.3.1 Full information as to performance of the enclosure material or the grease duct enclosure system constructed with components, densities, or dimensions other than those tested.

5.3.2 Evaluation of the degree by which the enclosure material or grease duct enclosure system contributes to the fire hazard by generation of smoke, toxic gases, or other products of combustion.

5.3.3 Measurement of the degree of control or limitation of the passage of smoke or products of combustion through the grease duct enclosure system.

5.3.4 Measurement of flame spread over the surface of the grease duct enclosure system.
