3 TEST PROCEDURE

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The test was performed in accordance with the requirements of AS1530.4-2014 Sections 2 & 10 subject to the variations below.

VARIATIONS TO TEST METHOD

None

PRE-TEST CONDITIONING

The construction of the specimen was finished on the 6 October 2017 and was tested on 13 October 2017. During this period the test specimen was subject to normal laboratory temperatures and relative humidity conditions.

SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION

The laboratory was not involved in the sampling or selection of the test specimen for the fire resistance test.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 20°C and varied between 20°C and 22°C during the test.

TEST DURATION

The test duration was 121 minutes.

INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT

The instrumentation was provided in accordance with AS1530.4-2014 and as detailed below:

The furnace temperature was measured by 4-off mineral insulated metal sheathed Type K thermocouples with wire diameters not greater than 1mm and overall diameter of 3mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath. The thermocouples protruded a minimum of 25mm from steel supporting tubes.

The unexposed side specimen temperatures were measured by Type K thermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm soldered to 12mm diameter × 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by 30mm × 30mm × 2.0 mm inorganic insulating pads. The thermocouple positions are described in Table A4.1, and are shown on Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.

A roving thermocouple was available to measure temperatures at positions that appeared hotter than the positions monitored by the fixed thermocouples.

The furnace pressure was measured at the centre of lowest service.

Cotton pads were available during the test to assess 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 it should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual behaviour in fires.

VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENS

This report details the methods of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the general procedure outlined in AS1530.4. Any significant variation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or end conditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method, is not addressed by this report. It is recommended that any proposed variation to the tested configuration other than as permitted under the field of direct application specified in APPENDIX 3 should be referred to the test sponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence of compliance from Exova Warringtonfire Aus Pty Ltd or another Registered Testing Authority.

UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT

Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

APPENDIX 3 DIRECT FIELD OF APPLICATION

GENERAL A 3.1

AS1530.4-2014 indicates that the results of the fire test contained in the test report are directly applicable without reference to the testing authority to similar constructions where one or more of the changes have been made:

SEPARATING ELEMENTS A 3.2

Results obtained for sealing systems in various types of masonry and concrete construction may be applied as follows:

a) For elements manufactured from similar types of concrete or masonry, the results of the prototype test may be applied to materials of density within ±15% of the tested specimen. For greater variations, the opinion of a registered testing authority shall be obtained.

b) Test results obtained in conjunction with hollow concrete blocks may be used in a solid concrete element of the same overall thickness. The reverse does not apply.

c) Results obtained from framed wall systems may be applied to the performance of a system in concrete, masonry or solid gypsum blocks of greater or equal thickness to that of the tested prototype. The reverse does not apply.

d) Results obtained from framed wall systems may be applied to similar walls having studs of the same material with sizes greater than the tested prototype.

e) Results obtained from a prototype test may be applied to framed wall systems of similar construction but having thicker facings of the same material applied to the studs.

METAL PIPES A 3.3

A 3.3.1 Sealing systems tested using standard configurations

The results may be applied to brass pipes of the same composition up to maximum outside diameter of 101.6 mm (normally 70/30 arsenical brass) and to copper and ferrous metal pipes having wall thicknesses greater than or equal to those listed in Table 10.12.3.1, provided the same penetration sealing system was used for the above penetrations in the same type of separating element and all the specimens achieved the required FRL.

NOTE: For information on standard configurations, see Appendix F.



A 3.3.2 Sealing systems tested not using standard configurations

Results obtained with a penetration sealing system protecting the opening around copper or brass pipes may be applied to pipes of the same material and to ferrous metal pipes having outside diameters not greater than the tested diameter, and wall thicknesses not less than the tested thickness.

NOTE: For information on standard configurations for metal pipes, see Appendix F.

A 3.3.3 Shape and size of openings for penetration seals

For mineral-fibre, cast and gun-applied mastic seals, results obtained in openings with a smooth surface texture may be applied to openings having a rough surface texture.

A 3.3.4 Insulated (lagged) metal pipes

Where fire test data on the insulation system are not available, penetration sealing systems that have been subjected to the standard test with uninsulated metal pipes may be used, provided the appropriate requirements of Clause A 3.3.2 are satisfied and the following procedures are followed:

a) If the insulation is non-combustible or is manufactured solely from mineral fibre, it shall be cut away where the service penetrates the separating element, and the opening shall be fire-stopped in accordance with the tested method.

b) If the insulation is combustible, it shall be cut away for 1000 mm either side of the separating element (provided the pipe did not vent hot gases during the fire resistance test), and the pipe shall be fire-stopped in accordance with the tested method. A non-combustible lagging may be placed over the bare pipe. If venting occurs during the fire-resistance test at a time less than the required FRL, a fire test shall be carried out to evaluate the insulated pipe system.

A 3.3.5 Alternative pipe materials

If an element is penetrated by—

a) a pipe other than brass, copper or ferrous alloys;

b) a pipe of cross-section other than circular; or

c) a pipe outside the field of application specified in this Standard for the standard test configuration,

then the results obtained from a single tested system may be applied to these pipes provided the—

i. melting point of the material is equal to or greater than the tested specimen;

ii. surface area to mass ratio of a cross-section of the pipe is equal to or less than the tested specimen; and

iii. thermal conductivity is equal to or less than the tested specimen diffusivity of the material.

ELECTRICAL AND COMMUNICATION CABLES A 3.4

Where standard configurations are used for electrical and communication cables, the results of tests may be applied to all PVC and XLPE insulated and PVC sheathed power and communication cables with copper conductors, provided the results are for the same penetration sealing system in the same separating element and all of the specimens achieved the designated FRL or greater.

NOTE: For information on recommended standard configurations for electrical and communication cables, see Appendix D.

PLASTICS PIPES A 3.5

A 3.5.1 General

In addition to the requirements of Clause A 3.2, test results may be directly applied to masonry and concrete elements thicker than the tested prototype when installed in accordance with Figure 10.12.5.1 (AS 1530.4).



Results obtained from a particular test shall not be applied to plastics pipes of different diameters, wall thicknesses or material types.

Results obtained from tests on penetrations through vertical separating elements shall not be used to assess performance in horizontal elements, and vice versa.

As penetration seals for plastics pipes are dependent for activation upon exposure to fire conditions, they shall always be installed with the same orientation and fire exposure as was established in the fire-resistance test.

A 3.5.2 Services not perpendicular to the fire separation

Penetrations not perpendicular to the plane of the element are acceptable, provided the fire-stopping system has similar exposure and dimensions to the tested prototype.

CONTROL JOINTS A 3.6

The following variations are permitted:

a) Results obtained from single test on a butt joints may be applied to contoured joints, provided the joints have—

i. equal width and equal or greater depth of sealant; and

ii. equal or greater thickness of fire-separating element.

NOTE: Examples of butt and contoured control joints are shown in Figure 10.12.6.

b) Facings may be applied to the surface of the fire-stopping system.
