Description
The fire resistance of a material forming part of an assembly is an invaluable tool in assessing the performance of construction elements relied upon in regulations.
The FTT Horizontal Fire Resistance Test Furnace is the apparatus needed to evaluate the fire resistance of a horizontal construction assembly, column, or support, and provides a method of quantifying the ability of a material, in a horizontal orientation, to withstand exposure to high temperatures. This is done by evaluating a number of performance elements such as the load-bearing capacity, the ability to provide fire containment and the thermal transmittance of the materials and systems.
