Overview

Objectives

• Fire performance and reliability testing of horizontal type structural systems or components (e.g., floors, ceilings, supporting beams or their assemblies) in fires with or without mechanical loads in the lateral direction
• Fire performance and reliability testing of passive fire protection system for horizontally 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.
