Fire performance and reliability testing of vertical type structural systems or components
(e.g., walls, doors, windows, penetration seals) in fires with or without mechanical loads in the vertical direction
Fire performance and reliability testing of passive fire protection system for vertically positioned systems
Features of Test Facility
Rectangular type vertical furnace is used to apply the elevated temperature due to fires.
Temperature control is made in accordance with the designated temperature versus time history as per
international standards or other fire scenarios.
Hydraulic actuator is installed to apply the mechanical loads up to 2MN and/or 150mm stroke in the
vertical direction.
Watch holes are allocated to close-eye monitor during testing.
Remote control and automatic test data measurements are made.
