B.4 Characterisation data for applied protection to steelwork
Specification of the standard elements tested:
The number of specimens tested depends upon the assessment procedure for thermal performance used.
(iii) Presentation of data:
A graph is given of all relevant individual and mean temperature readings, as defined in the test standard, and used for classification and extension of test results.
Presentation of characterisation data:
The thermal analysis produces a series of tables and graphical presentations relating to fire resistance periods of 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, 120 min, 180 min and 240 min. Each table or graphical presentation shows the minimum thicknesses of fire protection material required to ensure that design temperatures of 350 °С, 400 °С, 450 °С, 500 ° C, 550 °С, 600 °С, 650 °С, 700 °С, 750 °С and higher if necessary are not exceeded on steel members with section factors (Am/V values) at intervals of 20 m“1 (an example of the presentation of such tabulated information is given in Table B.2).
