Title
Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Penetration Firestop Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2009
Scope:
This test method is applicable to firestop systems of various
materials and construction. Firestop systems are intended for use
in openings in fire-resistive walls and floors that are evaluated
in accordance with Test Methods E 119.
Tests conducted in conformance with this test method record
firestop system performance during the test exposure; but such
tests shall not be construed to determine suitability of the
firestop system for use after test exposure.
This test method also measures the resistance of firestop
systems to an external force stimulated by a hose stream. However,
this test method shall not be construed as determining the
performance of the firestop system during actual fire conditions
when subjected to forces such as failure of cable support systems
and falling debris.
The intent of this test method is to develop data to assist
others in determining the suitability of the firestops for use
where fire resistance is required.
This test method does not apply to membrane penetrations of a
floor-ceiling assembly or roof-ceiling assembly that are tested as
part of the assembly in accordance with Test Methods E 119.
This test method does not apply to membrane penetrations of
load-bearing walls.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
This standard is used to measure and describe the response
of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under
controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all
factors required for fire-hazard or fire-risk assessment of
materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire
conditions.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which
provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding
those in tables and figures) shall not be considered requirements
of the standard.
