1.1这些试验方法包括用于评估拘留所和教养所摆动门组件中使用的铰链的正常操作性能特性和冲击条件下的性能特性的装置、程序和验收条件。和中详细描述了这些类型的铰链。因此，这些试验方法仅给出铰链在实际使用中的性能特征。不考虑对性能特性有潜在影响的安装和维护条件等变量。 1.2这些测试方法的目的是帮助确保拘留铰链（参考铰链包括连续铰链）的性能达到或高于最低可接受水平，以限制囚犯，延迟和挫败越狱企图，并抵抗故意破坏和袭击条件。 众所周知，为了满足这些试验方法的目的，车门、门框和门锁总成必须符合试验方法F 1450和F 1577所要求的性能水平。 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.3以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中的值仅供参考。 1.4关于防火门铰链要求，请咨询NFPA 80。 ====意义和用途====== 拘留和管教行政官员的一个主要关切是其设施中使用的铰链的可靠运行。 这些试验方法有助于为摆动门组件的铰链指定物理安全性和性能水平。 这些测试方法还评估了撞击对门铰链的影响，模拟了撞击条件。这些测试方法还评估了铰链在模拟正常操作下的性能。这些测试方法不提供铰链抵抗以下攻击的能力或性能的测量:化学试剂、弹道、炸药或其他极端攻击方法，例如铰链上的直接冲击或操纵，或对雨、雪或风载灰尘或沙子等环境元素的直接冲击或操纵。如果此类元件是潜在因素，请咨询制造商。 这些测试方法的主要目的是近似于拘留所和教养所中铰链受到的虐待条件和正常工作条件的水平。 这些试验方法试图通过与循环和冲击试验相关的不同等级来实现这一点。这些测试方法的预期结果将为管教人员、公众和囚犯提供保护措施。

1.1 These test methods cover the apparatus, procedures, and acceptance conditions for evaluating the normal operating performance characteristics and the performance characteristics under assault conditions of hinges used in swinging door assemblies in detention and correctional institutions. These types of hinges are described in detail in, and. Thus, these test methods only give an indication of the performance characteristics of hinges in actual service. Such variables as installation and maintenance conditions which have a potential impact on performance characteristics are not considered. 1.2 It is the intent of these test methods to help ensure that detention hinges (reference to hinges is inclusive of a continuous hinge) perform at or above minimum acceptable levels to confine inmates, to delay and frustrate escape attempts, and to resist vandalism and assault conditions. It is recognized that in order to meet the intent of these test methods, door, frame and lock assemblies must be compatible with the level of performance required by Test Methods F 1450 and F 1577. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only. 1.4 Consult NFPA 80 for Fire Doors Windows concerning hinge requirements on fire doors. ====== Significance And Use ====== A major concern for detention and correctional administrative officials is the reliable operation of hinges used in their facilities. These test methods aid in assigning a level of physical security and performance to hinges for swinging door assemblies. These test methods evaluate the effect on hinges of battering attacks on the door simulating assault conditions as well. These test methods also evaluate the performance of a hinge under simulated normal operation. These test methods do not provide a measure of the resistance or performance of a hinge to attack by the following: chemical agents, ballistics, explosives, or other extreme methods of attack, such as direct impact or manipulation on the hinges or to environmental elements such as rain, snow, or wind-carried dust or sand. Where such elements are a potential factor, consult the manufacturer. The primary purpose of these test methods is to approximate the levels of abuse conditions and normal operating conditions to which hinges are subjected in detention and correctional institutions. These test methods attempt to do this through the different grade levels associated with cycle and impact testing. The desired result of these test methods will provide a measure of assurance of protection to the correctional personnel, public, and inmates.
