ITEM DESCRIPTION

Supporting Construction

Description 110mm thick cored concrete block wall.

Door Sill One course of solid concrete blocks 10.31s 390mm x 190mm x 90mmwith three courses of concrete bricks 230mm x 110mm x 75mm abovewith the top course laid perpendicular to the wall to form a sill for thedoorsets.

Blocks above sill Twelve courses of cored concrete blocks were laid on the sill to form theopenings and an additional three courses were laid above the openingsincluding one lintel beam course which included a single D16

reinforcement rod with premixed concrete filling the void.

Sealant Lorient intumescent mastic was used to seal the gap (backed byRockwool on the RH side and top as gap between 15-20mm) betweenthe edge of the door frames and the opening in the concrete block wallon both sides.

3 TEST PROCEDURE

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The test was performed in general accordance with the requirements ofBS 476: Part 20: 1987 and BS 476: Part 22: 1987 Part 6 as appropriate forinsulated doorsets, other than the variations stated below.

VARIATIONS FROM TEST STANDARDS

The furnace temperature was measured by 6-off mineral insulated metalsheathed Type K thermocouples with wire diameters not greater than 1mm andoverall diameter of 3mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath.

The thermocouples protruded a minimum of 25mm from steel supporting tubes.

BS 476: Part 20: 1987 specifies the furnace temperature to be measured by 6-offNickel chromium/nickel aluminium wire contained within a mineral insulation andin a heat resisting steel sheet of diameter 1.5mm, the hot junctions beingelectrically insulated from the sheath. The thermocouple hot junction shallproject 25mm from a porcelain insulator.

This variation, is considered to make the test slightly more onerous, howeverwould not have significantly affected the results of the fire-resistance test.

The furnace pressure varied more than as prescribed by BS 476: Part 22: 1987

during the period of 5-15 minutes test duration but was above that prescribed(maximum pressure level variation +2 Pa). It is considered that the test pressurehas created a more severe exposure than if tested in full accordanceBS 476: Part 22: 1987.

PRE-TEST CONDITIONING

The specimen was stored in the test laboratory prior to testing and was subjectedto indoor ambient normal laboratory conditions for approximately two days (afterwall completion) prior to testing.

SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION

The laboratory was not involved in the selection of the test specimen for test.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 20C and remained at thisuntil the end of the test.


9/37




TEST DURATION

The test was terminated after approximately 42 minutes at the request of the testsponsor.

INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT

The instrumentation was provided in accordance with BS 476: Part 22: 1987except for the furnace control thermocouples as mentioned above.

The furnace temperature was measured by 6-off mineral insulated metalsheathed Type K thermocouples with wire diameters not greater than 1mm andoverall diameter of 3mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath.The thermocouples protruded a minimum of 25mm from steel supporting tubes.

The non fire side specimen temperatures were measured by Type Kthermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm diameter soldered to 12mmdiameter 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by a 30mm 30mm 2.0 mminorganic insulating pads. The thermocouples positions are described in TableA3.1, and are shown on Figure A3.1 in Appendix 3. A roving thermocouple wasavailable to measure temperatures at positions that appear hotter than thepositions monitored by fixed thermocouples.

Deflection measurements were taken from calibrated tapes, fixed to the testspecimen, using a Telescope Levelling Instrument (Dumpy Level) Model 200B, atthe positions shown on Figure A3.2 in Appendix 3.

The furnace pressure was measured approximately 1000mm above sill level.

Cotton pads and gap gauges were available during the test to assess theperformance under the criteria for integrity up to unexposed face temperatures of300C for both Doorsets. After that time gap gauges only were available toassess the performance under the criteria for integrity.

6 APPLICATION OF TEST RESULTS

TEST LIMITATIONS

The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but itshould be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessmentof fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour ofthe specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions ofthe test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potentialfire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actualbehaviour in fires.

VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENSThis report details the methods of construction, the test conditions and the resultsobtained when the specific element of construction described herein was testedfollowing the procedure outlined in BS 476: Parts 20 & 22: 1987. Any significantvariation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or endconditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application in therelevant test method, is not addressed by this report. It is recommended that anyproposed variation to the tested configuration should be referred to the testsponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence ofcompliance from Warrington Fire Research or another Registered TestingAuthority.

UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT

Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty inquantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible toprovide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

1Limit time is the time to the nearest whole minute, rounded down to the nearest minute, at whichthe temperature recorded by the thermocouple does not rise by more than 180K above the initialtemperature.

2Limit time is the time to the nearest whole minute, rounded down to the nearest minute, at whichthe average temperature recorded by the thermocouples (quarter points) does not rise by morethan 140K above the initial average temperature.

3Refer to Appendix 3 for locations of thermocouples as only a generic description is included inthe table.

- Under limit column indicates the temperature limit was not exceeded during the test period or upuntil the time of integrity failure if a failure occurred.

Notes:

# Indicates thermocouple fault.

4These thermocouples were close to the glazing feature therefore not used to measure theinsulation performance of the doorset in accordance with BS476: Part 22: 1987.

- Under limit column indicates the temperature limit was not exceeded during the test period or upuntil the time of integrity failure if a failure occurred.
