1.1本火灾试验响应标准中所述的试验方法用于确定HPI或其他遭受大型油气藏火灾的设施中使用的均质或复合结构的柱、梁、梁或类似结构构件和防火墙的火灾试验响应。 1.2根据这些试验方法进行的试验旨在表明组件的结构构件或防火墙组件是否会在火灾暴露期间继续发挥其预期功能。 这些测试不应被解释为暗示在火灾暴露后适用。 1.3这些试验方法规定了标准火灾暴露量，用于在受控实验室条件下比较不同结构和防火墙组件的相对性能。当暴露在大型水池火灾中时，应用这些测试结果预测实际组件的性能需要仔细的工程评估。 1.4这些测试方法可用于测试其他项目，如管道、导管中的电路、地板或甲板以及电缆桥架。 由于这些测试方法中未提供失效标准和试样描述，因此测试这些类型的项目将需要适当的试样细节和终点或失效标准。 1.5 局限性 -这些试验方法不提供以下内容: 1.5.1使用部件或非测试尺寸制造的组件性能的完整信息。 1.5.2评估组件通过产生烟雾、有毒气体或其他燃烧产物导致火灾危险的程度。 1.5.3结构构件（如梁）之间接头或连接件的火灾行为模拟- 到柱连接。 1.5.4测试组件表面火焰蔓延的测量。 1.5.5测量其他结构形状（如容器裙板）、设备（如电缆、电动阀等）或遭受大型烃池火灾的项目（1.1中所述除外）的测试性能的程序。 1.5.6大型水池火灾中产生的速度或湍流或两者对某些消防材料的侵蚀作用。 1.5.7由于第5节中规定的上升时间比a 真实的 火 1.6这些试验方法不排除使用 真实的 火灾或在模拟火灾条件下评估结构构件和组件性能的任何其他方法。经证明符合第5节要求的任何试验方法均可接受。 1.7以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值仅供参考。 1.8 本标准应用于测量和描述材料、产品或组件在受控条件下对热量和火焰的响应，但其本身并不包含火灾所需的所有因素- 实际火灾条件下材料、产品或组件的危险或火灾风险评估。 1.9 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。 1.10本标准的文本引用了提供解释信息的注释和脚注。这些注释和脚注（不包括表和图中的注释和脚注）不应视为本标准的要求。

1.1 The test methods described in this fire-test-response standard are used for determining the fire-test response of columns, girders, beams or similar structural members, and fire-containment walls, of either homogeneous or composite construction, that are employed in HPI or other facilities subject to large hydrocarbon pool fires. 1.2 It is the intent that tests conducted in accordance with these test methods will indicate whether structural members of assemblies, or fire-containment wall assemblies, will continue to perform their intended function during the period of fire exposure. These tests should not be construed as implying suitability for use after fire exposure. 1.3 These test methods prescribe a standard fire exposure for comparing the relative performance of different structural and fire-containment wall assemblies under controlled laboratory conditions. The application of these test results to predict the performance of actual assemblies when exposed to large pool fires requires a careful engineering evaluation. 1.4 These test methods may be useful for testing other items such as piping, electrical circuits in conduit, floors or decks, and cable trays. Because failure criteria and test specimen descriptions are not provided in these test methods, testing these types of items will require appropriate specimen details and end-point or failure criteria. 1.5 Limitations -These test methods do not provide the following: 1.5.1 Full information on the performance of assemblies constructed with components or of dimensions other than those tested. 1.5.2 An evaluation of the degree to which the assembly contributes to the fire hazard through the generation of smoke, toxic gases, or other products of combustion. 1.5.3 Simulation of fire behavior of joints or connections between structural elements such as beam-to-column connections. 1.5.4 Measurement of flame spread over the surface of the test assembly. 1.5.5 Procedures for measuring the test performance of other structural shapes (such as vessel skirts), equipment (such as electrical cables, motor-operated valves, etc.), or items subject to large hydrocarbon pool fires, other than those described in 1,1. 1.5.6 The erosive effect that the velocities or turbulence, or both, generated in large pool fires has on some fire protection materials. 1.5.7 Full information on the performance of assemblies at times less than 5 min because the rise time called out in Section 5 is longer than that of a real fire. 1.6 These test methods do not preclude the use of a real fire or any other method of evaluating the performance of structural members and assemblies in simulated fire conditions. Any test method that is demonstrated to comply with Section 5 is acceptable. 1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.8 This standard should be used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire-hazard or fire-risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. 1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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. 1.10 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory information. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requriements of the standard.
