Test Procedure #TR-228 Revision: 2 Date: February 7,1997 Page: 3 of 13 SECTION 1.0 SYNOPSIS:

Transco Fire Test #TR-228 will be a single fire test conducted in accordance with the performance requirements of NRC GL 86-10, Supplement I and the ASTM E 119 time / temperature curve. The purpose of this test is to 1

demonstrate the ability of both one and three hour VERSA WRAP raceway fire barrier systems (in the same test) to protect a variety of raceway conditions that are representative of those commonly found in nuclear power plants.

Even though some of the barrier systems to be tested are only intended for one hour applications, they will be subjected to the full three hour fire test. In these cases, the one hour barrier specimens will be considered to be successful thermally if they meet the raceway temperature pass / fail criteria of GL 86-10 for the first hour of the fire test. After the conclusion of the three hour fire test, both one and three hour specimens will be subjected to a hose stream test in accordance with Section 7.0 of this procedure. Testing will be performed at Underwriters Laboratories (Northbrook, Illinois).

The overall test specimen will consist of a metal and concrete deck from which a number of simulated conduit and cable tray raceways will be suspended. The sizes and shapes of these raceways are intended to represent conditions that bound equivalent or less severe raceway configurations in the field. These bounding conditions to be qualified by this test are described below. The metal / concrete deck with its individual raceway specimens will be placed on top of a large floor furnace where the raceways will be subjected to the three hour fire endurance test. Immediately after the conclusion of the fire test, the deck and raceway specimens are lifted as a single unit from the fumace and will then be exposed to the hose stream test.

The raceway items to be tested and conditions they are intended to bound are as follows:

ITEM: DESCRIPTION:

"A" 2" x 2" Aluminum Solid-Back Cable Trav/ Tube Track - This item is intended to bound one hour VERSA WRAP installed on the smallest steel and/or aluminum cable tray (using aluminum as a worst case condition) as well as bundled steel or aluminum conduit configurations. Since this is the smallest thermal mass expected for cable tray applications (cad therefore the most severe), this tray is intended to bound all larger steel and aluminum raceways. Because this is a one hour wrap, it is only required to meet the thermal pass / fail requirements of GL 86-10 Supplement I for one hour whereas the hose stream test for this specimen will be performed immediately after the three hour fire test. This specimen will demonstrate both horizontal and vertical raceway sections, a bend / comer, and a "Unistrut" hanger thermal short interface. This tray will be empty except for a #8 AWG bare copper cable and thermocouples. The empty tray is used to simulate a worst case the mal mass condition for cable loading.

"B" 30" x 4" Steel Ladder-Back Cable Trav This item is intended to bound one hour VERSA FRAF systems installed on 30" x 4" (and all smaller sizes) of both aluminum and/or steel cable trays (aluminum trays si:esfrom 2"x 2" through 30" x 4" are bounded thermally by item "A" above) as well as bundled conduits. This specimen will demonstrate both horizontal and vertical runs of raceway, a bend, and a l

The test raceway assembly will be fabricated from standard %" diameter rigid steel conduit that will use condulets at each end of the specimen on the exposed side of the deck. A conduit connector will also be installed on the conduit. (No hanger will be used in the test as hangers in the field would be wrapped in the same manner as the conduit -

the impact of the hanger thermal short in this particular case would be considered a less severe condition as it would increase the thermal mass of the test raceway.) This conduit will be empty except for a #8 AWG bare copper wire and thermocouples installed according to Section 5.0 of this procedure.

a rope about mid-span. During the test, the rope will burn / melt and will allow the wTapped cable to be l

unsupported for the remainder of the fire test. The intent here is to show that the wTap will still be i

effective even if the cable suddenly becomes unsupported between hanger points (maximum distance as l

tested herein) in the field. (In the field, the cable is located in an aluminum tray suspended on steel l

hangers. The utility wishes to evaluate the possibility of wrapping only the cable instead of the entire tray.

l It is felt that if the aluminum tray is not wrapped,it will melt or be consumed during a fire thus leaving the cable unsupported except at points where the tray was suspended on steel hangers.)

Thermocouples should also be placed immediately adjacent to all structural members, supports, and barrier penetrations.. "(1)

Free-Cable Air Drops: Thermocouples will'be installed on the stranded 8 AWG wire used for demonstrating the " free-cable air drop" every 152 mm (6 inches) in accordance with the same requirements for monitoring internal condrit/ cable tray temperatures.

(Note: In accordance uith NRC GL 86-10, Supplement I requirements, "for the thermocouples installed on conduits, cable tray side rails, and bare copper conductors, a

  • 13 mm (*U2 inch). "stallation tolerance is acceptable". Hence, this tolerance shall be considered acceptablefor use in th. i test. The tolerance is considered to befrom thepoint ofindividual thermocouple placement and not compounded from one thermocouple to the next (i.e., all thermocouples can not be 6 U2"from each other but rather must be U2"from the measured 6"[ minimum] mark on the item being monitored)

Junction box thermocouples will be installed in accordance with the requirements of Generic Letter 86-10, Supplement 1.

8.) Penetration Scal:

Thennoccuple placement for the unexposed penetration seal surface (test item "N") will comply with the typical requirements of ASTM E814. As an optional method for protecting thermocouple tips, the thermojunctions ofeach thermocouple may be embedded into the seal surface or seal surface / penetrating member interface approximately % -%" below the seal surface (because of the nature of the seal material, this placement can be performed at any time after the installation of the seal material). For this altemate method, insulation pads for covering the thermocouple tips will not be used.

All specimen temperatures shall be monitored using thermocouples (with special limits of error equal or less than 1.l'C), Thermojunctions of all specimen thermocouples shall be electrically welded. All thermocouple wire shall be supplied with certifications of purity, accuracy, and calibration.

Furnace atmosphere thermocouples shall be placed 12" below the furnace deck / slab as well as 12" away from representative elements of the test specimen accordance with ASTM E-Il9-88 requ;rements (not less than nine f91 thermocqueles will be used to monitor furnace atmosohere temperatures 1 Additional furnace atmosphere thermocouples be employed around the specimen as it protrudes into the furnace. These will be placed at the laboratories discretion to supplement data acquisition in areas where furnace atmosphere thermocouples can not be mounted to satisfy ASTM E-119 requirements because of the specimen's configuration, et cetera.

FIRE TEST:

The fire test shall be conducted in accordance with the ASTM E-119 time / temperature curve (and temperature tolerance) for a minimum of three (3) hours. As a minimum, temperature data provided by both furnace and specimen thennoccuples should be monitored and documented at nominal two (2) minute intervals. The laboratory shall verify and document visual specimen performance and occurrences (i.e., smoke, et cetera) for the duration

j lt is intent of the test to demonstrate as many different raceway configurations as possible. As such, several raceway test specimens exhibit multiple features (i.e., the 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> large tray demonstrates the tray wTap, a " free-air" cable and interface, a wrap-to-concrete interface, etc.). If one of these features fails thermally or during the hose stream test, it is the intent of the test to then exclude that feature from the configuration being qualified. In the case of the large tray for example, if the" free-air" cable or wrap-to-concrete interface fails for any reason, it is does not cause the tray to fail provided the rest of the tray specimen meets the acceptance criteria of Generic Letter 86 10, Supplement 1. Any failed portion of a specimen will then not be qualified by this test.

SECTION 7.0 HOSE STREAM TEST:

After the conclusion of the three hour fire test, the fire barrier envelope specimen (along with the surrounding penetration seal) shall be subjected to a minimum of one of the following hose stream tests (as identified in NRC.
