UL 10C-2016 pdf download.Positive Pressure Fire Tests of Door Assemblies.
13.7 Pressure measurements made in the furnace and the location of such measurements relative to the
neutral plane of the door assembly and the plane at the top of the door assembly are to be recorded.
CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE
14 General
14.1 A door assembly shall be determined to comply with the requirements for performance when It
remains in the opening during the Fire Endurance Test. Section 11, and the Hose-Stream Test, Section
12, within the limitations specified in 14.2.
14.2 The test assembly shall withstand the Fire Endurance Test, Section 11, and the Hose-Stream Test, Section 12. without devetoping openings anywhere through the assembly.
Exception No. 1: For assemblies with a lire exposure period of 1-1/2 hours or less, dislodging of small portions of glass, as specified in 15.14 and 15.15. by the hose stream is permitted.
Exception No, 2: Separation between meeting edges of pairs of doors within the limits specified in 15.5 and 15.6 is permitted,
Exception No. 3: An opening between the bottom edge of a door and sill within the limits specified in 9.3 is permitted.
14.3 An opening for the purpose of the requirement in 14.2, is defined as a through-hole in the assembly that is capable of being seen from the unexposed side when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the plane of the assembly at the location of the suspected opening
15 Specific
15.1 No flaming shall occur on the unexposed surface of a door assembly nor shall the sample permit the passage of hot gases sufficient to ignite the cotton pad.
Exception No. I: Sustained flaming of less than 10 seconds duration is permitted.
Exception No. 2: After 30 minutes. intermittent light flaming (not greater than 6 in (152 mm) long. nor burning for periods exceeding 5-minute intervals, along the edges of doors) is permitted.
Exception No. 3: Light flaming during the last 15 minutes of the classification period of 45 minutes or greater, Is permitted on the wiexposed surface area of the door, when It is contained within a distance of 1-1/2 in (38.1 mm) from a vertical door edge, and within 3 in (76.2 mm) from the top edge of the door and within 3 inches from the top edge of the frame of a vision pane?.
15.2 When hardware is to be evaluated for use on fire doors, it shall hold the door closed in accordance with the conditions of acceptance for the intended door assembly classification period and, in addition, the latch bolt shall remain projected and shall be intact after the test. The hardware is not required to be operable after test.
15.3 The movement of swinging doors shall not result in any pornon of the edges adlacent to the door frame moving from the original position in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the dOor more than the thickness of the door during the entire classification period, nor more than 1-112 times the door thickness as a result of the Hose Stream Test. Section 12.
15.4 The movement of swinging doors mounted in pairs shall not result in any portion of the meeting edges moving more than the thickness of the door away from the adjacent door edge in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the doors during the entire dassification period nor more than 1-1/2 times the door thickness as a result of the Hose Stream Test, Section 12.
15.5 An assembly consisting of a pair of swinging doors incorporating an astragal shall not separate in a direction parallel to the plane of the doors more than 3/4 in (19.1 mm) nor a distance equal to the throw of a latch bolt at the latch location.
15.6 An assembly consisting of a pair of swinging doors without an overlapping astragal, with or without a resilient astragal, for a fire and hose stream exposure of 3 hours or less, shall not separate along the meeting edges more than 318 in (9.5 mm). including the initial clearance between doors.
15.7 An assembly onsisting of a single swinging door shall not separate from the frame more than 112 in (12.7 mm) at the latch location.
15.8 Door frames to be evaluated with doors shall remain securely fastened to the wall on all sides and shall not permit through openings between frame and doors or between frame and adjacent wall.
15.9 A resilient astragai. when provided without an oveliapping metal astragal, shall not deteriorate to result in through openings during the Fire Endurance Test, Section 11. Small portions, less than 10 percent, are permitted to be dislodged during the Hose Stream Test, SectIon 12.
