BS 476 refers to the British standard for fire tests on building materials and structures. Part 7 specifies the test method for measuring the lateral spread of flame along the surface of a test specimen. During the test, the measurements recorded include... Read more
BS 476 refers to the British standard for fire tests on building materials and structures. Part 6 specifies a method of test for providing a comparative measure of a flat material/assembly's contribution to the growth of a fire. It takes into account the combined effect of factors such as... Read more
The FM approval is an approval requirement for insulation material used on the exterior of non-combustible pipes or ducts. This standard uses a full-scale test for pipe and sheet insulation. Tests in this standard are different from the BS 476 standard as... Read more
The NFPA 274 Standard Test Method is a full-scale test that uses large samples to simulate how insulated pipes in a confined vertical configuration may behave during a growing fire situation. It may be a more realistic assessment as it reflects the actual... Read more
