Test Procedure:
An ad-hoc fire resistant test adopting the appropriate
procedures and criteria of B.S. 476: Part 20: 1987 on NuLite Ltd NL604(C) Fire
Resistant Roof Light glazed with a Pilkington fire resistant insulating glass
unit.
The test, carried out on the 7th November 2005
using the BRE large-scale horizontally orientated furnace, employed the furnace
heating conditions, appropriate procedures and criteria of B.S. 476 : Part20
: 1987. The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 15 degrees Celsius.
The test was witnessed by Mr Brian Pye and Mr Peter Gilbert representing Pilkington
glass, and Mr Bill Harris representing NuLite Ltd.
Furnace Control:
The furnace temperature was measured using six, bare wire chromel/alumel
thermocouples positioned symmetrically in the furnace with their measuring
junctions nominally 100mm below the soffit of the floor construction. The
furnace was controlled so that the six readings followed the time/temperature
relationship specified in B.S. 476 : Part20 : 1987.
Specimen temperature
The temperature of the rooflight was measured
by means of eleven thermocouples of the type specified in B.S. 476 : Part20
: 1987. the thermocouples were positioned as described on the full test
report.
Test Summary:
A NuLite NL604C Fire resistant rooflight with a Pilkington
glass system and mounted over an aperture, nominally 1370mm x 1370mm, in
a 150mm thick reinforced aerated concrete floor, submitted to an ad-hoc fire
resistant test of 81 min duration on the 7th of November 2006. In the test,
the heating conditions and the appropriate procedures and criteria of British
Standard 476 : Part 20 : 1987 were used.
The rooflight comprised a frame with a kerb fabricated from mild steel, along the opposite edge; the frame had a flange around it's perimetre and was glazed with a Pilkington fire resistant insulation Glass.
