  • The Hose Stream Test
    The Hose Stream Test What is the Hose Stream Test? The hose stream test is an integral part of many fire testing standards. ASTM E 119, ASTM E 814/UL 1479, and ASTM E 1966/UL 2079 are all standards that affect the firestopping industry. All three standards require a hose stream test. What's the history of the Hose Stream? In the late 1890's, cast & wrought iron were commonly used in construction. Unlike steel, they failed in a brittle manner when heated in a fire, creating a risk for firefighters who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a result, the hose stream was created to test the integrity of these support members (columns/beams). In 1918, the first edition of ASTM standard E 119--then numbered C19, Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials-- included a hose stream test to measure a material's integrity. Because ASTM E 119 includes the hose stream test as acceptance criteria of assemblies, it is considered applicable to fire stops as well. What is the intent of the Hose Stream? The hose stream serves as an indicator for two important attributes: 1) the integrity of a fire stop or assembly during fire exposure and 2) the overall reliability of the material to perform its intended function. For firestop systems it is important to obtain an indication of performance integrity. A firestop system that loses its integrity can allow the spread of fire by creating passages for flames and hot gases to propagate from one side of a rated assembly to another.

  • Circuit Integrity and Fuel-Like Protection and How to Avoid This
    Circuit Integrity and Fuel-line Protection AND How to Avoid This Common Firestop Deficiency Presented by; Eric De Amorim, National Sales Manager at STI Firestop & Tim Mattox, Field Engineer Central Regions NA Circuit Integrity and Fuel- line Protection What does it mean? Electrical circuit functionality during a fire Electrical power is essential for the continued operation of various types of fire safety related equipment under fire conditions. Fire safety equipment includes fire pumps, fire alarm signaling equipment, elevators, alarms and industrial process control equipment. The National Electrical Code addresses the importance of maintaining the circuit functionality by requiring protection from potential damage by fire, structural failure or operational accident in Article 695 for fire pumps, Article 700 for emergency systems and Article 760 for fire alarm systems. Protection Systems Carrying Combustible Liquids Local building codes require fuel lines feeding emergency generators and fire pump drivers within buildings to be protected for 2 hours. This ensures the fuel pipe system will maintain its integrity in the event of fire. Different fire protection methods can be used to address circuit integrity and fuel-like protection 1. Concrete encasement 2. Fire-rated gypsum enclosures 1. Not practical for conduits penetrating walls 1. Space constraints 2. In some cases concrete prevents future access Endothermic Wrap Solutions – An Increasingly Popular Solution These wrap systems provide a cooling effect. 1. Tested solution, provides up to 3 hour of protection. 2. Practical – when space is an issue OR in overhead applications. 3. Flexible material – easy to install, even on small diameter conduits. 4. May also be used to achieve equal F&T Ratings on Penetration Firestop Systems.

  • Fireproofing for Hydrocarbon Fire Exposures
    GAP.2.5.1 GAP Guidelines June 1, 2000 A Publication of Global Asset Protection Services FIREPROOFING FOR HYDROCARBON FIRE EXPOSURES INTRODUCTION A hydrocarbon fire inflicts initial damage by directly heating metal beyond its limits and destroying the equipment or building. Even more damage occurs when the fire spreads due to the collapse or rupture of vessels caused by metal failing under the initial fire exposure. One way to mitigate this damage is to install fireproofing. Fireproofing is discussed in Section 6, Chapter 5 of the NFPA Handbook.1 This GAP Guideline outlines the position of Global Asset Protection Services (GAP Services) on fireproofing for hydrocarbon fire exposures. Fireproofing of structural steel exposed to hydrocarbon fires has been used for many years with varying degrees of success. Conventional concrete, lightweight concrete and brick gave a satisfactory degree of protection with little concern for the exact time-protection rating beyond the stipulation that designated thicknesses of these materials be installed. In the past 25 years, proprietary fireproofing products were developed. The protection times for these new materials needed to be determined. Building materials or systems are tested for performance under fire conditions in a carefully controlled furnace. The standard time-temperature curve is defined in ASTM E-1192 and represents a wood fire that does not reach 3400°F (1870°C) for 4 hrs (see Figure 1). Since hydrocarbon fires reach that temperature almost instantly, the ASTM E-119 curve does not adequately predict the performance of fireproofing materials under hydrocarbon fire exposure. Underwriters Laboratories developed the UL 17093 test procedure based on hydrocarbon fire exposure.
