THERMO-LAG 330-1 SUBLIMING COMPOUND DATA SHEET -CONTINUED BASIC USE: THERMO-LAG 330-1 is applied to cable trays, cable drop and junction box assemblies,.'tructural steel, support structures, containment vessels, tank cars, and other similiar entities.

THERMO-LAG 330-1 is applied to protect the substrate against loss of'structural stength and accessing temperatures during exposure to fire. One and multiple hour fire ratings can be provided as determined by test utilizing the ASTM E-119 time-

'temperature environment, hydrocarbon or chemical fire environments.

THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Compound has also 'been tested per ASTM E84 Standards by an independent testing laboratory with the following results:

Flame Spread 5 Fuel Contributed Smoke Developed COATING THICKNESS: The coating thickness is a function of the specific weight of the steel to be protected.

The heavier the steel, the thinner the coat'-

ing required for a given fire endurance rating. (Specific film thicknesses are specified by the owner or his duly authorized representative.)

PACKAGED: 55 gallon drums approximately 500 net lbs.

THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Compound is supplied in containers bearing Underwriters Laboratories labels.

STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store above 32'F and below 100'F.

THERMO-LAG 330-1 SUBLIMING COMPOUND DATA SHEET CONTINUED SURFACE PREPARATION: 1. Surface must be clean, dry and free from contaminants including oil, grease and scale prior to application.

2. THERMO-LAG 351 Primer 'should be used as and where required.

MIXING: Mater'ial should be stirred to a homogeneous consistency prior to application.

TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY: THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Compound shall be applied in conformance with good paint-ing practices. The surface shall be dry, above 40'F and below the dew point.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: May be applied by airless spray, air atomiz-ing spray, brushing, rolling or caulking gun.

RECOMMENDED SPRAY EQUIPMENT: For spray application direct from the

'shipping container, air-ram (45:1' 10:1 compression ratio) extrusion pump, airless. spray or air atomizing spray equipment should be used.

II- TEST PROCEDURES The Test Procedures involved in the Test Program reported herein specified the use of 'Specific'rocedures for the One-Hour Fire Test, the Water Hose Stream Test and the Cable Tray Assembly Electrical Circuitry Continuity Tests. Each of these three (3) separate Test Procedures are summarized in the following sub-sections.

A. One-Hour Fire Tests The Fire Testing Procedures are specified in Paragraph 3.4.1 of ANX/MAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test. Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class 1E Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report). Basically this one-hour Fire Test is a one hour exposure to the temperature-time curve of ASTM-E-119-76 (ANSI A2.1) . For ease of reference, Figure 1 presents this ASTM-E-119-76 Time-Temperature Curve for the exposure period of interest.

As shown in Figure 1, the Test Set-Up Internal Air Temperature starts at the prevailing ambient air temperature (Test Room'emperature), reaches a temp-erature of about 1000 F after five (5) minutes, a temperature of about 1550 F after 30 minutes and a temperature of 1700 0F after one-hour. Based upon widely accepted crtieria, this variation in the time-temperature curve also means a variation in the Incident Heat Flux upon any 'Target'xposed to the this time-temperature relationship. It is commonly accepted that the One-Hour ASTM-E-119 Test Method produces a 'Time Averaged Incident Heat Flux'f about 24,500 2 2 BTU/HR-FT for one-hour's exposure, 34,500 BTU/hr-ft for two hours exposure, 2

and 42,000 BTU/hr-ft for three hours exposure, as is shown in Figure 2. It is also important to note, for subsequent experimental data analyses, that in the ASTM-E-119 Test Method about 20 percent of the heat transfer is by con-vection and about 80 percent is by radiation. Thus, the actual amount of the 80 percent radiant heat that will be 'absorbed'y the 'Target's strongly dependent upon the Target's Radiation View Factor, .the spectral emissive properties of the natural gas flames and the spectral reflectance .propertie's of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System external surface.

for Class 1E Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report). This'xhibit permits the use of 'one'f 'three'pecific Test Procedures. In the Water Hose Stream Test reported here'in, the Test Procedures specifiec by Paragraph 3.4.2 (3) was utilized. This procedures is as follows:

"The stream shall be delivered th'rough a 14 inch nozzle set at a discharge o

angle of 15 with a nozzle pressure of 75 psi and a minimum discharge of 75 gpm with the tip of the nozzle a maximum of 10 feet from the system."

This procedure also requires that the hose stream be applied (to the system) for a minimum of 29 minutes.

C. Electrical Circuit Continuit Tests; Paragraph 3.5 of AMI/MAERP Standard Pire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class IE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report) requires the following Criteria be meet for the one-hour Pire Test:

"3.5 The tests shall be constituted a failure if any of the following occur!

1. Circuits fail or fault during the fire test as required in Test 1 -(ASTM-E-119-76 one-hour exposure test) or fail during the hose stream test."

Thus, one of the required test conditions is to continuously monitor a sufficient number of electrical circuits in'.the Test Specimen to detect failure circuit to circuit (conductor to conductor short circuits)g circuit to system (conductor continuity)g and circuit to ground (short circuits, conductors to ground) . Monitoring all of the conductors in the Cable Tray, Conduit and Air Drop Test Assembly would be a very arduous, if not impractical, task. There-fore, selected cables in the Test Specimen Cable Tray Assembly were instru-mented to monitor each of the following three parametersc

1. Two cables, one power and one control cable in the Test Specimen Cable Tray Assembly was connected to a short circuit detection circuit as shown in Figure 3-A.

2. Two cables, as identified in C.l above, was also connected to a continuity monitoring circuit as shown in Figure 3-B.

3. Two cables, as identified in C.l above, was connected to a ground short cir-cuit detection circuit as shown in Figure 3M.

This procedure gives a total of six (6) instrumented 'cables in the Test Specimen Cable Tray Assembly for monitroing of cable integrity during both the one>>hour Fire. Test and the subsequent Water Hose Stream Test.

C. Verification of Sublimin Coatin Envelo e Thickness:

Using a sharp point 'penetration type" metallic gauge, the Author verified that the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System varied in thi:ckness (dry film thickness) from a low of 0.460 inches to a high of 0.475 inches. This is veil within the canmercially accepted dry film thickness meaurements of + 5 percent of the naninal thickness for airless spraying techniques. In the specific case of the Test Speciment, the 'nominal dry film thickness'hould be 0.469 inches for a 'vet film thickness'f 0.625 inches.

The Author also verified that the cured surface of the Thermo-Lag '330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System had not cracked, spalled or flaked and that it appeared to be a conventional finish for this type fireproofing material.

ZV TEST INSTRUMENTATION The Test Instrumentation consisted of the followingc

h. Twelve (12) Chranel/Alumel Thermoco'uples for measurement of cable surface temperatures, Ladder Back Cable Tray interior surface temperature and Cable Tray ambient air temperature beneath the protective envelope. The locations of the thermocouples are shown schematically in Piguxe 8. Table II presents a listing of the temperatur'e measurement for each of the twelve (12)" Test a

Thermocouples.

B. Six (6) Chrcxnel/Alumel Thermocouples were used for air temperature measure-ments inside the TSI ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility.

C. The twelve Test Specimen Thermouple readings vere recorded on a Honeywell-Brown Electronic Chart Type Recorder. This recorder has an autanatic cold reference incorporated in the recorder mechanism. Exhibit 3 presents a copy of the orig'inal temperature readings for these thezmocouples. Figure. 9 presents a ccxnparison of. the AS~-E-119 Test Method required Time-Temperature Curve with the 'maximum thermocouple reading'nd the overall average of the thexmocouple reading in, the area of the Test Specimen vithin the Test Facility. As shown, the actual ASTM-E-119 Pire Simulation Facility Time-Temperature'urv'e very slightly exceeds the requirements of the ASTM-E-119 Test Method.

For manual control of the AS'I8-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility time-temperature relationship two Omega Digital Temperature. Recorders,'odel 175 and 179, were also used. A manual reading was taken every five (5} minutes from these visual Recorders for use in the ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Fac'ility temperature control.

V FIRE TEST OBSERVATIONS A. Details of the Fire Test:

The Fire Test recyxired by Exhibit 2 to this report, was conducted on 6 August 1981. The Fire Test was started at 12:20 PM and was concluded at 1:25 PM. The actual Fire Test Duration was One-Hour and Five (5) Minutes with exposure to the ASTM-E-119 Test Method Time-Temperature relationship in the TSI ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility.

The twelve (12) thermocouples used for the various electrical cable, tray.

surface and tray air temperature measurements were recorded once every 3 minutes (15 seconds between individual thermocouple readings).

B. The Author made the following visual observations during the course of the Fire Test:

1. The temperature recorders, charts and visual, were checked not less than once every five minutes.

2. After approximately 30-minutes of fire exposure, a slight yellowish'moke observed to be escaping from around. the upper horizontal leg entry of the Test Cable Tray Assembly. The location of the escaping smoke and the color of the smoke indicates that some decomposition was occurring in electrical cable coverings. However, a survey of hll of the electrical cable temperatures being measured would indicate that the cable coverings are 'below'he expected decomposition temperature. It was temporarily concluded, based upon existing cable integrity and lack of short circuits as well as the cable covering temperature measurements, that if the yellowish smoke was due to cable decomposition, then it must be occurring from some cable in direct con-tact with the Ladder Back Cable Tray metallic surface near the, upper leg connection to the ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility front face.

3. After 45 minutes of fire exposure, slight 'cracking'as observed in the Thexmo Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System "CHAR FORMATION" on the air drop envelope and the upper horizontal leg envelope. These observations were made through the viewing windows of the Test Facility.. Such cracking in the char formation is normal and has been repeatedly observed by the Author in other Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating fire tests on plates, Beams, etc.

Such char formation cracking usually occurs long after sublimation of the coating an'd is felt.to be due to continued heating of the char and the re-sultant expansion of the char, a normally expected sequence of events.

Figure 10 presents a photograph of the Cable Tray Test Specimen after the removal from the ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Pacility. The char formation cracking, or checking, can be observed in the outer. areas of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope. Howerv'er, it is important to note that the depth of this cracking or checking is limited to the char. This cracking or checking does not penetrate into the un-sublimed lower layers of the envelope system, as well be shown later in this report.

C. Details of the Water Hose Stream Teste Due to the previously noted Test Requirements for a 14 inch fire hose for conducting the Water Hose Stream Test, arrangements were made with the City of St. Louis, MO Pire Department for the use of one of their Class "A" Pire

'Pumpers for conducting the required test. Figure 11 presents a photograph of the Fire Apparatus used for the Water Hose Stieam Tests on the Cable Tray and and Air Drop Assembly following the one hour Pire Test in the TSZ ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility (Figure 10 presents a photograph of this Test Specimen being taken outside the TSI Buildings for this water hose test).

Por the Water Hose Stream Test, as required by Exhibit 2 to this report> the following conditions were used:

1. Pump discharge setting: 90 psig

2. 100 feet of 14 inch diameter fire hose with a 15 inch Akron Brass Adjustable stream nozzle. Nozzle set at 15 degrees 'angle for the test with the nozzle operator (a Pire Department employee) set at 10 feet from the Fire Exposed Test Specimen.

3. The pump discharge setting, the 100 feet of 14 inch diameter fire hose and the 14 inch diameter discharge nozzle resulted in a water flow rate and stream angle which exceeds the minimum requirements, of the Water Hose Stream Test trequired water flow rate is only 75 GPM, the actual test water flow rate was close to 95 GPM).

D. Visual Observations Made During the Water Hose Stream Test:

1. The Water Hose Stream Test was conducted on 7 August 1981. The actual water stream impac't test was started at 2:30 PM and was stopped at 2:33 PM. -The water Stream Test duration was 3 minutes, as.compared'to the required 2b minute m inimum.

2. -The 15 degree dispersed water stream did not have any 'material'ffect upon the physical integrity of the Thermo-Lag 330-'1 Subliming Coating Envelope System or its char formation. In fact to .dislodge the char formation, it was necessary to use a high velocity solid cone straight stream water hose pattern. Although this solid cone water stream .did dislodge some of the char .

formation, it did not adversely effect the unsublimed coating layers.

VX RESULTS OF PIRE TEST Acco'rding to the requirements of Exhibit 2 to this report> the Pass-Pail Criteria for the Fire Test is as follows:

"3.4.2 Hose Stream Test >> Immediately following Test I (the'ne-hour Pire Test: ),

I accessible surfaces of. the Protective Envelope shall he subjected to one of the following hose stream tests. The hose stream shall be applied for a minimum of 2b minutes, without de-energizing the circuits.

3.5 The tests shall he constituted a failure if any of the following occur:

1. Circuits fail or fault during the fire test as required in Test I or fail during the hose stream test." =

~ On the basis. of this cable inte rit , as shown h the Fi e 3 Monitorin Circuits, the Cable Tra Conduits and Air Dro Test Assembl PASSED a11 of the One Hour Pire Test R irements. However,, to provide additional test data for interpretation of the test results, a number of cable surface temperature measurements must also he recored and reported in the Test Report. The 'usual'emperature limits associated with cable surface temperatures are as. follows:

l. 400 0P for cable in the cable tray.

2. 700 0P for cables in the air drops.

As previously stated,. Exhibit 3 presents a copy of the actual Honeywell Chart recordings for all twelve (12) thermocouples used in the Fire Test. Figures 12, 13 and 14 present plots of the measured electrical cable surface temperatures in the Ladder Back Cable Tray. As shown, a maximum electrical cable surface temperature of 315 0F was recorded after a one hour. exposure time to the TSI ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility environment. At the end of one hour's exposure to this fire environment, the electrical cable surface temperatures, for the cables in the cable tray, ranged from a low of 190 0F to a high of 315 oF, well below the o

commonly used mar. ~um electrical cable surface temperature of,400 F for cables installed in cable trays.

Figure 15 presents the Time-Temperature measurements for the electrical cable installed in the'Air Drop'ortion of the Test Specimen. As shown, at the end of the one-.hour fire exposure, the cable surface temperature was recorded as 0

450 0 F,'ell below the commonly accepted limitation of 700 F for electrical

'I cables in air drops. The Time-Temperature measurements for the surface temperature of the Ladder Back Cable Tray (measurement made in the upper leg of the Test Specimen as is shown in Figure 8) and the air temperature inside the upper leg of the Test Specimen (see Figure 8) are presented in Figure 16. As shown, the end of one-hour's fire exposure, the Ladder Back Cable Tray reached a metal surface 0 o temperature of 450 F and an air temperature of about 315 F gust above the electrical cables.

VIX RESULTS OF WATER HOSE STREAM TEST Figures 17 and 18 present photographs of the 14 inch diametr water hose stream being applied to the fire tested Cable Tray,'onduits and Air Drop Test Assembly.

As shown, the water stream has a high impact upon the fire tested Test Specimen and is a relative compact water stream which covers the entire Test Specimen. This hose stream and its point of discharge with respect to the Test Specimen meets the criteria presented in Exhibit 2 to this report (ANI/MAERP Requirements).

Figure 19 presents a close-up of the Cable Integrity Monitoring Panel immediately following 3-minutes of water hose stream application to the fire tested Cable Tray, Conduits and Air Drop Test Assembly. AS shown by the lighted bulb and the two non-lighted bulbs, electrical circuit continuity was maintained throughout the fire test and water hose stream test and that no faults, or short circuits occurred during either tests. This means that the Test Specimen meets the specified Cable I. Integrity Requirements specified in Exhibit 2 to this repoit '(ANI/MAERP Require<<

ments for Class ]E Electrical Circuit Protective Enclosures),

Based upon the tests results and experimental data presented herein, as well as detail visual inspections of the Cable Tray, Conduits and Air Drop Test Assembly before the start of testing and after both the One Hour Fire Test and the Water Hose Stream Test, the following Conclusions and Observations are presented for consideration and evlauation purposes:

in Paragraphs 3.4.1, 3.4.2 (3) and 3.5 (1) of ANI/MAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify A Protective Envelope for Class lE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report), the TSI Cable Tray, Conduits and Air Drop Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating System PASSES both the Fire Test and the Water Hose Stream Test Requirements is all aspectes.

2. The recorded cable surface temperature measurements at the conclusion of the One-Hour Fire Test shows that the electrical cable surface temperature are well below camaonly accepted industrial standard limitations.

3. A Post Pire Test and Water Hose Stream Impingement Test detail visual inspection of the Cable Tray< Conduits and Air Drop Test Assembly showed the following:

a. Pigure 20 presents a photograph of the TSZ Cable Tray, Conduits and Air Drop Test Specimen immediately following the One Hour Pire Test"and the Water Hose Stream Impingement Test. Figure 21 presents the same Test Specimen with por-tions of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System removed from the cable tray assembly. As shown, in Figure 21 'one'f the electrical cables in direct. contact with the metal cable tray under went a slight decomposition and bubbling in the cable covering. This wouM account for the slight amount yellowish smoke that was observed to issue fran within the cable tray opening after about 30 minutes of fire exposure. Cutting open the cable ]acket bubbled area showed NO damage to the cables themselves, in so far as heat oi fire damage is concerned.

b. Figure 22 piesents a photograph of the interior surface of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System after the One Hour Fire Test and the Water Hose Stream Test (a solid cone water discharge from 10 feet was also used on this portion of the protective covering). As shown, the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating has not fully sublimed all the way through the original 0.469 dry film thickness and has not been damaged by the Water Hose Stream Test. No actual measurements were made of the unsublimted thickness.

Essentially all of the dry film thickness was sublimed along the upper leg of the test specimen. Since the air temperature around the test specimen and the measured thickness of the protected envelope were essentially the same, the differences in convection'heating would account...for the unsublimed coating.

~

c. Figure 23 shows a section of electrical cable being removed from the Test Specimen for a detail'nspection of the interior cables. Figure 24 shows the actual physical condition of the cabling inside the section of removed cable.

As far as a visual inspection is concerned, NO damage at all resulted to any .

4.0 COATING APPLICATION TECHNI UES 4.1, S ra A lication 4.1.1 Apply the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating over a properly prepared surface. Make sure that the surface to be coated is clean, dry> above 40'F and free from scale, rust or other contaminants.

4.1.2 Apply the material in as many passes as required to provide the required film build of coating thickness, taking care to avoid slumping or sagging of the coating. Normally, a required 0.500 inch dry coating thickness is accomplished by applying three wet coats of 0.225 inches.

However, the thickness which can be safely applied in a single pass will depend on the temperature, humidity, and other factors that are best determined on the gob site.

4.1.3 Apply the material in smooth even passes, taking care to keep the spray gun fan pattern at a 90'ngle whenever possible. Reaching with a spray gun will cause the spray pattern to vary from the 90 angle and vill'result in a rougher surface than normal.

4.1.4 Take frequent wet thickness measurements during the application using a penetration measuring device such as those shown in Appendix A to ensure that the coating is being applied uniformly and at the required wet film thickness. These wet thickness checks shall be made every five square feet or every two running feet of coated surface area. (Note: When

'taking measurements allow for a shrinkage rate of 25% between the wet and the desired dry film coating thickness.

19

4.1.5 Remove excess build up of coating material at edges and joints by brushing or rolling the surface with a damp sponge roller.

4.1.6 Spray edges of the substrate from each side to cause the material to wrap around the edge. Ef the edge coating is not completely closed, use a wet roller or trowel to seal the edge surface.

4.1.7 Apply Piberglass Armoring to the wet surface after the final pass and use a roller to flatten out any wrinkles and to embed the fiberglass securely. Then apply sufficient material to cover the embedded fiberglass.

4.1.8 Remove all runs, sags, drips or other surface imperfections before the material cures using wet sponge rollers, bgushes 'or hand trowels.

4.2 Hand A lications 4.2.1 Trowel the material to a uniform thickness using moderate pressure and avoid overworking the material. The trowel should be wetted with water when a smooth finish is required.

4.2.2 Glove the material to cables and small pipe using standard work gloves. Work small areas and keep the gloves wet to 'insure a relatively'niform thickness.

4.3 D Film Thickness Measurements 4.3.1 Take dry film thickness measurements after the applied material has cured. Measurements shall be made using electrical, penetrating or magnetic measuring instruments.

L ANI/MAERP STANDARD FIRE ENDURANCE TEST METHOD TO QUALIFY A PROTECTIVE ENVELOPE FOR CLASS 1E ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS L

1.0 INTRODUCTION

L The ANI/MAERP "Basic Fire Protection Guidelines" (April, 1976) recommend that redundant safety circuits be cut-off. from each other by standard fire walls and floors (Item I, E-6). It has been our experience, that in new L designs, this feature is "built-in". However, for operating plants, and some plants nearing completion, the provision of standard, rated, fire barriers may not be practical. .When this condition exists, the options are to relocate the vital circuit to another fire area, or protect them in place.

"Protecting-in-place" is defined as the ability to maintain the circuit's function during a standard exposure fire by use of a Protective Envelope.

In an effort to provide, for insurance purposes only, a reasonabl'e and re-liable means of "protecting-in-place" these vital circuits, without limiting our Insureds to conventional methods, and giving them the option of using products/materials not normally seen in this type of application, we have developed this test method. In this manner. evaluations of different products/

material's can be made, using a standard test approach.

In developing this Standard .Test Method, the need to maintain circuit integ-rity during a standard "temperature-time" fire exposure was the prime con-sideration. In addition, the ability of the Protective Envelope to contain an internal fire exposure, was also considered important; It should be emphasized that this Standard Test Method in no way decreases our requirements for fixed automatic fire suppression systems nor will considered, the equivalent of rated fire barriers, where required. Its intent it be is to provide a means for "protecting-in-place" redundant cable systems in existing plants, or unusual situations in new designs.

I FIRE RESISTANCE TESTS ON CABLE TRAYS,,CONDUITS AND CABLE DROP ASSEMBLIES PROTECTED WITH THERMO-LAG 330-1 SUBLIMING COATING ENVELOPE SYSTEM GENERAL:

This reports the results of a fire test conducted at TSI's High Temperature, ASTM E119, Fire Simulation Facility. The purpose of these test was to determine the degree of fire protection offered by THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System to. the'ollowing:

4 I

'\

1. Solid Back - Cable Trays: 100% visually loaded with cables; 2: Ladder Back - Cable .Trays: 100% visually loaded with cables.

k

3. Conduit: Schedule 40 Steel, 4 inch.I.D.

100% visually. loaded with cable's.

4. Cable Drop Assemblies: 100% visually loaded with cables.

t The cross sectional dimensions of, the'olid *and Ladder Back Cable Trays were 14" x 4" x 4".

All assemblies were shaped in a facsimile of a "U". The length of each "U" section was 24".

.The tests were conducted in the fire environment described by the ASTM E119 procedure. The 'flame temperature =was measured by means of chromel/alumel thermocouples. The results of a typical time/temperature response is shown in the TSI ASTM E119 'Fire Simulation Facility, Fire Temperatures curve. The cable instrumentation consisted of six (6) chromel/alumel thermocouples attached to the surface of the center cable.

Two (2) thermocouples were located at the upper horizontal section, at the vertical section and at the lower horizontal section.

The thickness of the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System was circa 0.5 inches. The Subliming Coating was reinforced by means of THERMO-LAG Stress Skin Type 330-69 (which is a TSI proprietary product). The method of application is described in detail within the following sections.

In addition throughout the tests, the cables were energized by means of a 24 volt, DC, power source. The continuity of current flow was measured by means of light bulbs affixed to the opposite end of'he cable and attached to a display console mounted in front of the fire simulation facility.

FIRE TEST AND RESULTS:

The test articles were placed inside TSI's high temperature, fire simulation facility, exposing all.sides of the test assemblies to a fire uniform i~ intensity and character-. Furnace and temperatures of the respective test articles are shown in the curves which follow at the end of this report.

'The maximum temperature exhibited .by all .thermocouples placed on the surface of each cable jacket for all cable trays, conduits and cable drop assemblies clearly demonstrate that they meet ANE and Federal Regulation 10CFR Part" 50, Appendix R, Paragraph G prerequisites, for fire protection, of safe hot shutdown capability.

None of the thermocouples exceeded 400'F. Post test examination of the cable -have failed to show an deterioration of the jacket or the resistive liner on the cable. There were no shorts exhibited throughout the tests.

II. TEST PROCEDURES The Test Procedures involved in the Test Program reported herein specified the use of 'Specific'rocedures for the One-Hour Fire Test, the Water Hose Stream Test and the Cable Conduit Assembly Electrical Circuitry Continuity Tests. Each of these three (3) separate Test Procedures are summarized in the following sub-sections.

A. One-Hour Fire Test:

The Fire Testing Procedures are specified in Paragraph 3.4.1 of ANI/MAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class lE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report) . Basically this one-hour Fire Test is a one hour exposure to the temperature-time curve of ASTM-E-119-76 (ANSI A2.1) . For ease of reference, Figure 1 presents this ASTM-E-119-76 Time-Temperature Curve for the exposure period of interest.

As shown in Figure 1, the Test Set-Up Internal Air Temperature starts at the prevailing ambient air temperature (Test Room Temperature), reaches a temp-0 0 erature of about 1000 F after five (5) minutes, a temperature of about 1550 F after 30 minutes and a temperature of 1700 F 'after one-hour. Based upon widely accepted criteria, this variation in the time-temperature curve also means a variation in the Incident Heat Flux upon any 'Target'xposed to the this time-temperature relationship. It i.s commonly accepted'hat the One-Hour ASTM-E-119 Test Method produces a 'Time Averaged Incident Heat Flux'f about 24,500 2 2 BTU/HR-FT for one-hour's exposure, 34,500 BTU/hr-ft for two hours exposure, 1

and 42,000 BTU/hr-ft for three hours exposure, as is shown in Figure 2. It is also important to note, for subsequent experimental data analyses, that in the ASTM-E-119 Test Method about 20 percent of the heat transfer is by con-vection and about 80 percent is by radiation. Thus, the actual amount of the 80 percent radiant heat that will be 'absorbed'y the 'Target's strongly dependent upon the Target's Radiation View Factor, the spectral emissive properties of the natural gas flames and the spectral reflectance Properties of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System external surface.

B. Water Hose Stream Test:

The Water Hose Stream Test Procedures are specified in Paragraph 3.4.2 of ANI/MAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope

I for Class lE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report). 'this Exhibit permits the use of 'one'f 'three'pecific Test Procedures. In the Water Hose Stream Test reported herein, the Test Procedures specifiec by Paragraph 3.4.2 (3) was utilized. This procedures is as follows:

"The stream shall be delivered through a 14 inch nozzle set at a discharge angle of 15 with a nozzle pressure of 75 psi and a minimum, discharge of 75 gpm with the tip of the nozzle a maximum of 10 feet from the system."

This procedure-also requires that the hose stream be applied (to the system) for a minimum of 24 minutes.

C. Electrical Circuitr Continuit Tests:

Paragraph 3~5 of ANI/HAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class lE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report) requires the following Criteria be meet for the one-hour Fire Test:

"3.5 The tests shall be constituted a failure if any of the following

. occur: I'

~ Circuits fail'x fault during the fire test as required in Test 1 .(ASTM-E-119-76'ne-hour exposure test) or fail during the hose .

stream test."

Thus, one of the required test conditions is to continuously monitor a sufficient number of electrical circuits in the Test Specimen to detect failure circuit to circuit (conductor to conductor short circuits); circuit to system

.(conductor continuity); and circuit toground (short circuits, conductors to ground) Monitoring all of the conductors in the Test Specimen Electrical Cable

~

Conduit Assembly would be a very arduous, if not impractical, task. There-fore, selected cables in the Test Specimen Cable Conduit Assembly'were instru-mented to monitor each of the following three parameters:

1. Two cables, one power and one control cable in the Test Specimen Cable, Conduit Assembly was connected to a short circuit detection circuit as shown in Figure 3-A.

2 Two cables, as identified in,C.1 above, was also connected to a continuity

~

monitoring circuit as shown in Figure 3-BE

3. Two cables, as identified in C.l above, was connected- to a ground short cir-,

cuit detection circuit as shown in Figure 3~..

This procedur'e gives a total of six (6) instrumented cables in the Test Specimen Cable Conduit Assembly for monitoring of cable integrity during both the one-hour Fire Test and the subsequent Water Hose Stream Test.

III. TEST SPECIMEN A. Pre aration of Test S ecimen Protective Envelo e:

Suggested Test. Specimen Layouts are presented in ANI/MAERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class lE Electrical Circuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report). In this section of the Test Report, we will summarize the manufacturer's preparation of the Cable Conduit Test Assembly's Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System.

As explained in detail in Exhibit 1 to this report, the protective envelope consists of wrap around arrangement which completely covers the Cable Conduit Assembly exterior surface. The wrap around envelope consists of an inner layer of Thermo-Lag Stress Skin Type 330-69, a 0;625 inch thick 'wet'ayer of Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating which is airless sprayed into the Stress Skin (this Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating will have a 'dry'hickness of about 0.469 inches due to the 25 percent shrinkage factor associated with this type coating material), an outer covering of light weight Fiberglass Cloth Armoring and a thin finish coat of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating material (sufficiently thick to just cover the Fiberglass Armoring). The detail preparation and Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating material Application Procedures are presented in Exhibit 1 to this report. A typical close-up view of the finished Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System for an Electrical Cable Conduit Assembly is presented in Figure 4. As shown, the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System conforms quite closely to the contour of the Cable Conduit, even at the mitered 9Q joints and gives a relatively smooth fihal finish.

B. Test S ecimen Ph sical Details:

As shown by Figure 5, the Test Specimen Cable Conduit is a standard electrical cable conduit section fabricated in the form of a U-Bend. The U-Bend dimensions are 54 inches outside diameter, 36 inches long by 32 .inches high. A total of eight (8) electrical cables are incorporated in the Test Specimen. Table I presents a listing of the individual electrical cables.

Figure 6 presents a photograph of the Cable Conduit Test Specimen with the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System completely installed and mounted for insertion into the TSX ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility.

-ll-WZSSON A'AD ASSOCIAVES, ImC.

C. Verification of Sublhnin Coatin Envelo Thickness:

Using a sharp pointed penetration type'etallic gauge, the Author verified that the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System varied in dry film thickness from a lcw of 0.450 inches to a high of 0.480 inches. This is mell within the ccemercially accepted dry film thickness measurements of"+ 5 percent of the nominal thickness for airless spraying techniques. In the specific case of the Test Specimen Cable Conduit, the 'ncmjtinal dry film thickness'hould be 0.469 inches for a 'vet film thickness'f 0.625 inches.

The Author also verified that the cured surface of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System had not cracked, spalled or flaked and that the surface finish appeared to be a conventional finish for this type fire-proofing material (see Figure 4 for closeup photograph of the protective envelope finish) .

XV~ TEST INST1NMENTATION The Test Instrumentation consisted of the folDnringx A. Twelve (12) Cl~el/Alumel Thezmocouples for measurement of electrical cable

~ surface temperatures. The locations of the thezmocouples- are shcwn schematically in Pigure 7. Table II presents a listing of the temperature measurement for each of the twelve (12) Test Thezmocouples.

B. The tvelve (12)- electrical cable Test Theaaocouplc readings vere autcxaatically recorded throughout the duration of the fire test on a multi~int Honeyvell-Brcwn Chart Type Recorder. Exhibit 3 presents a copy of the original Honeywell-Brcwn Chart Recordings for the duration of the fire test C Shc (6) Chranel/Alumel Thezmocouples vere used for air temperature measurements inside the TSI lLSTN-E<<119 Pire Simulation Facility These thezmocouple readings mre continuously recorded on a second Honeywell-Brcwn Quart Recorder for the duration of the fire test..

Figure 8 presents a comparison of the ASTM-E-119 Test Method required Time-Temperature Curve with the 'maximum thermocouple readings'nd the overall average of the thermocouple readings for the thermocouples located in the immediate vacinity of the Cable Conduit Test Specimen. As shown by the Figure 8 comparisions, the actual TSI ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility time-temperature curve slightly exceeds that required by the Test Method as specified in Exhibit 2 to this report.

E. Figure 9 presents a photograph of the instrumented Cable Conduit Test Specimen ready for 'insertion into the TSI ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility. This PHOTOGRAPH was made just prior to the start of the One-Hour Fire Test.

V. FIRE TEST OBSERVATIONS A. Details of the Fire Test:

The Fire Test required by Exhibit 2 to this report, was conducted on 7,August 1981. The Fire Test was started at 11:58 AM and w'as concluded at 1:03 PM. The actual Fire Test Duration was One-Hour and Five (5) Minutes with exposure to the Figure 8 TSI ASTM-E-119, Fire Simulation Facility time-temperature curve.

The Exhibit 2 required fire testing time is one-hour, minimum with exposure to the ASTM-E-119-76 (~NSZ A2.1) time-temperature curve, as also shown in Figure 8.

The twelve (12) electrical cable surface temperature measurements were recorded once every 3-minutes (15 seconds between individual thermocouple readings) by the Honeywell-Brown Recorder.

B. Visual Observations Made Durin the Fire Test:

The Author made the following visual observations during the fire test:

1. No smoke was observed to come from within the cable conduit test assembly at, any time during the fire exposure period. This would indicate that all of 1

the electrical cable were running below the cable covering decomposition temperature range.

2. After about 50 minutes of fire exposure, 'slight'racking was observed to occur'in the Cable Conduit protective covering. This is a normal occurrence in the 'char formation'f the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System.

conducting the Water Hose Stream Test on the Cable Conduit Test Specimen after the One-Hour Fire Test, arrangements were made with the City of St. Louis, MO, Fire Department for the use of one of their Class "A" Fire Truck Pumpers for conducting the required test. Figure 10 presents a photograph of the Fire Apparatus that was actually used to conduct the Water Hose Stream Test on the fire exposed Cable Conduit Test Specimen.

For the Water Hose Stream Test, as required by Exhibit 2 to this report (see Paragraph 3.4.2 (3) of Exhibit 2), the following conditions were used:

1. Pump discharge pressure: 90 psig

2. 100-feet of lh inch diameter fire hose with a 14 inch diameter Akron Brass adjustable stream discharge nozzle. Nozzle /set at 15 degrees angle for the Test with the nozzle'perator (a Fire Department employee) set at 10 feet from the Fire Exposed Cable Conduit Test Specimen.

3. The pump discharge setting, the 100 feet of lb inch diameter fire hose and the 14 inch diameter water discharge nozzle resulted in a water flow rate and discharge stream angle which exceeds the minimum requirements of the Exhibit 2 Water Hose Stream Test (the Test water flow rate 'is specified as 75 GPM; the actual test set-up resulted in a water flow rate very close to 95 GPM , based on the manufacturer's rating for the water discharge nozzle).

D. Visual Observations Made Durin The Water Hose Stream Test:

1. The Water Hose Stream Test was conducted on 7 August 1981. The actual Vater Stream Impact Test was started at 2:40 PM and was stopped at 2:43 PM. The Water Stream Test duration was 3-minutes, as compared to the Exhibit 2 Require-ment of 24 minutes, minimum.

2. The 15 degree dispersed water hose stream did not have .any visible adverse effect upon the physical integrity of the 'char formation'n the fire tested Cable Conduit Test Specimen.

VI. RESULTS OF THE FIRE TEST According to the requirements of Exhibit 2 to this report, the PASS-FAIL Criteria for the Fire Test is as follows:

"3.4.2 Hose Stream Test - Immedialtely following Test I (the one-hour Fire Test),

accessible surfaces of the Protective Envelope shall be subjected to one of the following hose stream tests. The hose stream, shall be applied for a minimum of 24 minutes, without de-energizing the circuits.

3.5 The tests shall be constituted a failure if any of the following occur:

I

l. Circuits fai,l or fault during the fire test, as. required in Test I or fail during the hose stream test."

On the" basis of this energized cable integrity, as. shown by the Figure 3 Monitoring Circuits, the Cable Conduit Test Specimen PASSED all of the One Hour Pire Test Requirements. However, to provide additional data for interpretation of the actual experimental results, a number of cable surface temperature measurements must also I

be recorded during the fire test and reported in the Fire Test Report. The allowable cable surface temperature limit for Cable Conduits of the type

'usual'aximum tested is about 400 P.

As previously stated, Exhibit 3 presents a copy of the actual Honeywell-Brown Temperature Chart Recorder readings for all twelve (12) thermocouples attached to selected cables within the Cable Conduit Test Assembly. Figures 11, 12 and 13 present plots of these Exhibit 3 temperature recordings for the entire fire test duration of 65-'minutes exposure to the TSI ASTM-E-119 Pire Simulation Facility environment. As shown, the individual instrumented electrical cables (all cables in the Cable Conduit Test Specimen had at least one thennocouple installed on the cable covering at some point inside the conduit) varied in temperature at the end of the required One-Hour of fire exposure from a low of 160 F to a high of 240 P.

This maximum cable surface temperature of 240 P is well below the expected de-canposition temperature of the cable coverings (which accounts for the lack of any smoke emission from the cable conduit during the fire. test) and well below the 0

canmonly accepted maximum allowable surface temperature of 400 F for these type electrical cables.

C VXI RESULTS OP THE WATER HOSE STREAM TEST Figures 14 and 15 present photographs taken during the application of the Water Hose Stream to the fire tested. Cable Conduit Test Specimen. As shown, the water has good impact characteristics and completely covers the Test Specimen. This Water Hose Stream and its point of discharge with respect to the Test Specimen meets the Criteri.a specified in the NAI/MAERP Standard Pire Endurance Test Method to Qualify a Protective Envelope for Class lE Electrical Circuits for Operating Ruclear Plants as presented in Exhibit 2 to this report.

I Throughout this Water Hose Stream Test, the Figure 3 Test Specimen Cable Conduit Cable Integrity Monitoring Circuits display panel lights remained in their required lighted and no-lighted positions (Circuit to System light bulb energizedg Circuit to Circuit light bilb not-energized; and Cixcuit to Ground light bulb notwnergized),

thus indicatxng no cxrcu it- failures or faults during the Water Hose Stream Test.

This lack of electrical circuit failures or faults during 'the Water Hose Stream Test, following the required one-hour fire test, means that the Test Specimen MEETS the specified Cable Integrity Requirements presented in Exhibit 2 to this 'I report (ANI/MAERP Requirements for Class lE Electrical Circuit Protective Enclosures for Opezating Nuclear Plants) as well as the requirements for such protective encosures as presented in the NRC 10 CFR Part 50 (Fire Portection Program for Operating Nuclear Plants), dated 19 November 1980.

VIII CONCLUSIONS AND OBSERVATIONS Based upon the test results and experimental data presented herein, as well as detail visual inspection of the Cable Conduit Test Specimen before and after the one-hour ASTM-E-119 Fire Simulation Facility fire test and the Water Hose Stream Impact Test, the following Conclusions and Observations are presented for con-sideration and evaluation purposes:

1. Based'upon the requirements for maintaining cable circuit integrity, as specified in Paragraphs 3.4.1, 3.4.2 (3) and 3.5 (1) of ANI/51AERP Standard Fire Endurance Test Method to Qualify A Protective Envelope for Class IE Electrical Cizcuits (see Exhibit 2 to this report), the TSI Cable Conduit Test Specimen PASSED both the Fire Test and the Water Hose Stream Test Requirements in all aspects.

2. The recorded cable surface temperatures at the conclusion of the one-hour fire test were well below accepted industrial standards for maximum allowable elec-trical cable surface temperatures (240 0F versus an allowable 400 0F).

3. As shown by Figure 15, the Water Hose Stream Impact Test did not materially damage the 'char formation'f the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating Envelope System.

4. As presented in detail in the Reference (2) Engineering Test Report, both a TS1 Cable Tray-Conduit and Air Drop Test Specimen and a TSI Cable Conduit Test Speci-men were exposed to essentially identical fire environments for equal fire expo-sure periods. However, as noted in the Reference (2) Report, a maximum electxical cable surface temperature of 450 0F was reported for the Cable Tray-Conduit and Air Drop Test Specimen. Refezence (2) also reports a temperature range of- cable temperatures from 190 0F to 450 oF at the end of a one-hour fire exposure. It shou?d also be noted that both the TSI Cable Tray-Conduit and Air Drop Test Specimen and the TSI Cable Conduit Test Specimen had equal thickness of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Coating incorporated in the Protective Envelope System.

~

However, as reported herein, the maximum cable surface temperature in the Cable Conduit Test Specimen after one hour of fire exposure was about 240 F, as compared to the Cable TrayMonduit and Air Drop Test Specimen maximum cable temperature of 450 0F..Further, the range of cable temperatures at the end of the one hour fire test was 190 oF to 450 oF for the Cable TrayMonduit and Air Drop Test Specimen and was 140 0F to 240 OF for the Cable Conduit Test Specimen. This difference in the range of electrical cable surface temperatures and the range of cable temperature at the conclusion of the one hour fire test is due to the following considerations:

a. The Radiation View Factor between the Cable Conduit Test'pecimen and the radiant flames of the ASTM-E-119 Test Facility is much LESS than that for the much larger surface area and rectangular shaped Cable TrayWonduit and Air Drop Assembly. Hence, the heat transfer rate by radiant heat transfer is less for the Cable Conduit Test Specimen (remember that 80 percent of the ASTM-E-119 Test Facility heat flux is radiant energy).

b. The physical mass, and hence heat capacity, of the Cable metallic conduit is much greater that the the equivalent heat capacity of the very thin metallic ladder back cable tray.

Structural Steel Su orts 3.9.1 See Appendix C of this procedure for application instructions.

4.0 COATING APPLICATION TECHNI UES 4.1 S ra A lication 4.1.1 Apply the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating over a properly prepared surface; Make sure that the surface to be coated is clean, dry, above 40 F and free from scale, rust or'other contaminants.

4.1.2 Apply the material in as many passes as required to provide the required film build of coating thickness, taking care to avoid slumping or sagging of the coating. Normally, a required 0.500 inch dry coating thickness is accomplished by applying three wet coats of 0.225 inches.

However, the thickness which can be safely applied in a single pass will depend on the temperature; humidity, and other factors that are best determined on the job site.

4.1.3 Apply the material in smooth even passes, taking care to keep the spray gun fan pattern at a 90'ngle whenever possible. Reaching with a spray gun will cause the spray pattern to vary from the 90'ngle and will result in'a rougher surface than normal.

4.1.4 Take frequent wet thickness measurements during the application using a penetration measuring device such as those shown in Appendix A to ensure that the coating is being applied uniformly and at the required wet film thickness. These wet thickness checks shall be made every five square feet or every two running feet of'coated surface area. (Note: When taking measurements allow for a shrinkage rate of 25% between the wet and the desired dry film coating thickness.

19

I I

4.1.5 Remove'xcess build up of coating material at edges and joints by brushing. or rolling the surface with a damp sponge roller.

4.1.6 Spray edges of the substrate from each side to cause the material t'o wrap around the edge. lf the edge coating is not completely closed, use a wet roller or trowel to seal the edge surface.

4.1.7 Apply Fiberglass Armoring to the wet surface after the final pass and use a roller to flatten out any wrinkles and to embed the fiberglass securely. Then apply sufficient material to cover the embedded fiberglass.

4.1.8 Remove all runs, sags, drips or other surface imperfections before the material cures using wet sponge rollers, brushes or hand trowels.

4.2 Hand A lications 4.2.1 Trowel the material to a uniform thickness using, moderate pressure and avoid overworking the material. The trowel should be wetted with water. when a smooth finish is required; 4.2.2 Glove the material to cables and. small pipe using standard work gloves. cwork small areas and keep the gloves wet to insure a relatively uniform thickness.

4;3 D Film Thickness Measurements 4.3.1 Take dry film thickne'ss measurements after the applied material. has cured. Measurements shall be made using electrical, penetrating or magnetic measuring instruments.

20

4.4 Re air Procedure Dama e-4.4.1 Remove damaged and loose material using a knife and scrapper. Cut back until sound adhering material is reached.

4.4.2 The edge should be undercut to form a beveled edge as in plaster repair.

4.4.3 Remove all foreign matter from the substrate using a wire brush.

4,4 ' Spray or trowel THERMO-LAG 330-1 onto patch area. Several coat of the material can be applied to achieve the desired film thickness.

Be sure to allow for shrinkage of repair patch by building up a slight 'dome shape with the patch.

4.5 Cable Re lacement Re air

'4.5.1 Remove sections by cutting away material at the side and butt flanges.

4.5.2 Remove fasteners from flanges and carefully remove coated sections.

4.5.3 After work is completed, reattach envelope system using mechanical fasteners, staples or 18 ga. galvanized tie wires.

4.5.4 Apply a coating of THERMO-'AG 330-1 Subliming Coating in the, specified wet thickness to the edges and joints of the ieinstalled sections using a trowel or stiff bristle brush to fill in any uncoated areas.

21

5.0 TOPCOAT APPLICATION 5.1 S ra A lication 5.1.1 Pour Part B into Part A and thoroughly mix using a mechanical mixer.

Mix a minimum of 5 minutes and allow a "sweat in" period of 20 minutes before commencing the application.

5.1.2 Insure that the area to be topcoated is free from loose and foreign matter.

5.1.3 Take moisture meter readings of the applied subliming coated surface, using a Delmhorst Moisture Meter (Model DP) or equivalent. Obtain a reading of 20 or less before applying the topcoat.

5.1.4 Place mixed material into spray rig.

5.1.5 Apply topcoat in a smooth even pattern, making sure to criss-cross the area in a continuous film.

5.2 Hand A lication 5.2.1 Apply a full smooth coat of topcoating using a long nap mohair roller.

Avoid excessive buildup of topcoat in corners and always work to a wet edge of applied topcoat.

6.0 POST APPLICATION PRACTICES 6.1 A clean and orderly condition shall be maintained in the application area. Following the application, all overspray, debris and equipment shall be removed and the area left in a condition acceptable to the owner.

22

I 7.0 E UIPMENT SUGGESTIONS 7.1 The most economical and satisfactory method of applying THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating is by either airles or air type spray equipment.

Air type spray equipment is recommended for use in spraying cable drops and conduit in order to minimize overspray.

7.1.2 Airless spray equipment is recommended for use in spraying larger sections such as cable trays and large I beams.

7.1.3 Suggested complement of spray equipment for both types are shown in Appendix B.

23

APPENDIX A SCHEMATIC OF SUGGESTED PENETRATING MEASURING DEVICES h

C APPENDIX C APPLICATION PROCEDURES STRUCTURAL STEEL ENTITIES

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This procedure sets for the sequential steps involved in applying THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating System to structural steel entities and steel storage tanks.

The 'HKRMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating System consists of THERMO-LAG Primer, THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating, and where applicable, THERMO-LAG Topcoat.

2. 0 SURFACE PREPARATION 2.1 All surfaces to be coated are to be clean, dry, above 40'F, and free from scale, rust and other contaminants.

2.2 Prepare non-compatible surfaces for coating by applying a barrier coat of THERMO-LAG 351 ox THERMO-LAG 351-2 Primer. Never apply the primer directly over a surface previously primed with a zinc based primer without installing a barrier coat. Never apply the primer directly over any hard or glossy paint without roughening the surface in accordance with standard, good painting, practice procedures and make sure that the cleaned substrate is compatible with the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating by making cross hatch adhesion tests.

2.3 Blast clean doubtful= surfaces to an SSPC-SP6 finish and reprime immediately.

I I

3.0 PRIMER APPLICATION 3.1 Apply the primer to a properly prepared steel surface in one continous coat using spray equipment or a roller. The minimum acceptable dry primer thickness should be 0.002 inches which is normally achieved by applying at a rate of 200 square feet per gallon.

3.2 Measure primer thickness using an approved magnetic direct reading gauge.

3.3 Make cross hatch adhesion tests, as per Federal Standard 141A, on the primed surface to assure proper adhesion between the primer and the steel .substrate prior to proceeding with the application of the THERMO-LAG 330-1 Subliming Coating.

3,4 Make at least one cross hatch adhesion test every twenty (20) square feet of primed surface area. Any primed surface area which fails the cross hatch adhesion test shall be sandblasted to an SSPC-SPC6 commercial blast finish and then shall be reprimed with THERMO-LAG 351 or THERMO-LAG 351-2 Primer.

4.0 THERMO-LAG 330-1 SUBLIMING COATING 4.1 Apply the material in as many passes as required to provide the required film build or thickness, taking care to avoid slumping or sagging of the coating. The thickness which can be safely applied in a single pass will depend upon the temperature, humidity, application technique, and other factors and should be determined at the gob site.

4.2 Apply the material in smooth even passes, taking care to keep the spray gun fan pattern at a 90'ngle whenever possible. Reaching with a. spray gun will cause the spray pattern to vary from the and will result in a rougher surface than nor'mal. 90'ngle 28

4.3 Take frequent wet thickness measurements during the application using a penetration-measuring device such as those shown in Appendix A to ensure that the coating is being applied uniformly and at the required wet film thickness. These wet thickness checks shall be made very five square feet or every two running feet of coated surface area. (Note: When taking measurements allow for a shrinkage rate of 25% between the wet and the desired dry film coating thickness.

4.4 Remove excess build up of coating material at edges and joints by brushing or rolling the surface with a damp sponge roller.

4.5 Spray edges of the substrate from each side to cause the material to wrap around the edge. If the edge coating is not completely closed, use a wet roller or trowel to seal the edge surface.

4.6 Apply .Fiberglass Armoring, where required, to the wet surface after the final pass and use a roller to flatten out any wrinkles and to embed the fiberglass securely. Then apply sufficient coating material to cover the embedded fiberglass.

all 4.7 Remove runs, sags, drips or other surface imperfections before the material cures using wet sponge rollers, brushes or hand trowels.

4.8 Take dry film thickness measurements after the applied material Measurements shall be made using'electrical, penetrating or has'ured.

magnetic measuring instruments.

5.0 TOPCOAT APPLICATION 5.1 Insure that the area to .be topcoated is free from loose and foreign matter.

5.2 Take moisture meter readings of the applied subliming coated surface using' Delmhorst Moisture Meter (Model DP) or equivalent. Obtain a reading of 20'or less before applying the topcoat.

29

?

5.3 Place mixed: material into spray rig.

5.4 Apply topcoat in two continuous coats at a minimum spread rate of 50 square feet per gallon in a smooth even pattern, making sure to criss-cross the area in a continuous film.

6.0 CLEAN UP 6.1 A clean and orderly condition shall be maintained in the application area. Following the application, all overspray, debris and equipment shall be removed and the area left'in a condition'acceptable to the owner.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

o The At/I/MAERP "Basic Fire Protection Guidelines" (April, 1976) recommend that redundant safety circuits be cut-off from each other by standard fire walls and floors (Item I, E-6). It has been our experience, that in new designs, this feature is "built-in". However, for operating plants, and some plants nearing completion, the provision of standard, rated, fire barriers may not be practical. When thi's condition exists, the options are to relocate the vital circuit to another fire area, or protect them in place.

"Protecting-in-place" is defined as the ability to maintain the circuit's function during a standard exposure fire by. use of a Protective Envelope.

In an effort to provide, for insurance purposes only, a reasonable and re-liable means of "protecting-in-place" these vital circuits, without limiting our Insureds to conventional methods, and giving them the option of using products/materials not nomally seen in this type of application, we have developed this test method. In this manner evaluations of different products/

materials can be made, using a standard test approach.

In developing this Standard Test Method, the need to maintain circuit integ-rity during a standard "temperature-time" fire exposure was the pt ime con-sideration. In addition, the ability of the Protective Envelope to contain an internal fire exposure, was also considered important; It should be emphasized that this Standard Test Method in no way decreases our requirements for fixed automatic fire suppression systems nor will considered. the equivalent of rated fire barriers, where required. Its intent it be is to provide a means for "protecting-in-place" redundant cable systems in existing plants, or unusual situations in new designs.

The material used in this investigation was produced under the o5servation of a representative of Underwriters. Laboratories Znc. in a ready-to-use form and applied to the indicated test surfaces at the Northbrook Testing Station of Underwriters Laboratories Znc. The composition of .the finished material's of a proprietary, natura and the formula involved is on file at the use in the .Follow-Up Service program. Zaboratories'or Various chemical and:physical tests were conducted on the finished materiaL. The results developed from these tests empLoyed in establishing specifications for use in the Follow-Up Service piogram.. SURFACE BURNING CHABACTERISTZCS TESTS: SAMPLES The Classification Marking of Underwriters Inc. for "Asbestos Cement Board" vith fLame spread, Zaboratories fuel contributed and smoke= developed factors of zero was in evidence on the 1/4 in. thick asbestos cement board substrate material. The coating vas app'lied at a rate of 41 sq ft per gall. on as determined by weight. Each test sampl.e consisted of three. 8 ft long 5y 24 in. wide sections of the coated asbesto's cement boards, butt-joined together. In each test a piece of 1; ft 22 in. vide by 1/16 in. thick uncoated steel plate was placed long by at the fire end of the tunnel furnace "upstream" from the gas burners to compLete the 25 ft sample Length. I
. The samples were allowed to condition at a temperature of 70 + 5 F and a relative. humidity of 35 to 40 percent for approx 23 Pays prior to testing.

'he Flame Spread Classification of the material is derived by determining the area under. the flame spread distance (ft) versus time Onin) curve, ignoring any flame front recession, and using one of the calculation-methods as described below:
1. Zf this total area (AT) is less than or equal to 97.5 min-ft (meter-minute x 3.3) the flame spread classification shall be 0.515 times the total area (FSC 0.5.5 AT) .

2. Zf the total area (AT) is greater than 97.5 min-ft (meter-minute x 3.3) the flame spread classification is to be 4900 divided by L95 minus the total area (AT)

EXECUTIVE St~&!ARY This report analyzes and evaluates the results of test programs on THERMO-LAG 330 Subliming Material conducted by TSI, Inc., the Department of Transportation, the Underwriters Labora- - tories, Inc. and other laboratories. Based on the accelerated life testing programs conducted by TSI, Inc. and elsewhere, the service life of properly applied THERMO-.LAG 330 Subliming Material is estimated to be at least 40 years. This service life is applicable for this fireproofing coating system applied to structural steel supports, cable trays, conduits, cable drops, pipe rack, storage tanks and other stationary entities. The accelerated life testing program conducted by TSI, Inc. ~ used a weathering unit which cycled the test panels through simulated weathering conditions. At predetermined times, test panels were withdrawn ro determine the weight loss, shrinkage of the coating thickness, adhesion of the coating, evidence of chalking and checking, and thermal performance o8 the fireproofing materia . The results of these tests show that the THERMO-LAG 330 Subliming Material, has excellent weathering properties. The accelerated Life testing program sponsored by the Department of Transportation included seven (7) coated LPG raiL tank cars which were subjected to 160,000 miles of travel at programmed speeds over smooth and rough rails, salt spray, chemical environments, impacts from rocks and debris, coupling impact tests and the natural elements over a period of at least 12 months. Also, three (3) coated L/5 scale rail tank cars vere subjected to a modified JAN Temperature and Humidity Cycle for 2B days. results of these tests shov excellent ~eathering properties The for the THERMO-LAG 330 Subliming Material. The Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. has performed simulated exterior and interior exposure tests folloved by fire tests. The simulated exposure tests consisted of wet, freeze and dry exposure's, exterior aging exposures, carbon dioxide and sulfux dioxide exposures, high humidity'exposures, wearhermometer exposures, chLorine exposures and washing exposures. The results of-tes ts show predic table thermal per formance characteristics these af ter the various exposure tests.

EVALUATION OF THE 4'" Aii'.i%I!iG CFCRACTEP.ISTICS OF THER.'!0-LAG 330-l SL."LI.<IVG COiPOLYD AS APPLIED TO ~~TJJ. SLBSTRATES Introduction The effects of, long term environ ental exposure on the ther-mal performance characteristics oz fireproofing materials as ap-plied to metal substrates such as structural steel, pipe racks, storage tanks, and rail tank cars should be known for any reliable-f'reproofing material. Actual tests of long term exposure of the f'reproofing material to the envirbrwent would be desirable; how- .'ever, the time required to perform these tests before actual use in the field is almost p ohibitive. Because of the-long time re-quired for actual environ-ental testing, accelerated weathering test methods have b en devised to predict the long term weathering characteris'ties of applied materials in lieu of long term weathering tests. 'everal standard test methods are currently in use for accelerated weathering tests. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the accelerated weathering tests conducted on Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Compound in terms of its thermal performance, adhesion, coating thickness shrinkage, cracking, checking, and weight loss of the coating. Accelerated Veatherin Tes ts Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Co~ound as applied to metal sub-5 .rat~s has been subjected to several accelerated weathering tests ~ Thes~ tests have been conducted by TSI, Inc., the Department of Transportat.ion, Underwriters Laboratories, and other industrial f-cilities. TSI Inc.,
'ZSl,"'nc., has conducted accelerated weathering tests on Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Compound applied to steel panels using a wea>hering=-machine manu"actured by Atlas Electric Devices Com-pany. This ~eathering unit is fitted with a carbon arc light source, adequate equipment to measure current, voltage, and tem-perature, .".nR equipment to add distilled water for rain simulation. 'Zhe test panels were prepared by applying a nominal wet thick-ness of 200 mils of Thermo-Lag 330-1 material to 4-inch by 12-inch by 1/16-inch steel pixels which had been cleaned with a solvent.
The edges and uncoated portion of the steel panels were protected with a coating of melted ~ax to prevent corrosion of the bare steel. The test panels were- cured for 72 hours in the weathering unit under preva'ling conditions. Twenty five test panels were prepared.
I I I I I I I
I The basic. test procedure used is outlined in Federal Test Standard 14la, Method '6152, dated 9-1-65 or in the hSTM Standardso Briefly, the conditiona ma$ ncainad throughout the teat period were a temperiture of.145 F and a relative humidity of about 9$ ercent. Each cycle consisted of exposure to only ultraviolet ight for 102 minutes followed by expos'ure to ultraviolet Liaht ana rain simu1atian for 18 minutes. It is generaLly accepteZ I- that under these conditions each cycle is equivalent to one day of exterior veatheriag under ambient conditions. Two test panels vere vithdrawn fram the weathering unit- at each time interval to test the effect of the veathering. Th>> effect af the weathering vas 'tested on the veight loss of the coating, the shrinkage of the coating thickness, adhesion of the coating, visual abservatian af chalking and checking,'nd the thermal performance af the caating. The adhesion test vas con ducted according ta AS'618. The thermal performance vas checked by sub)ecting the test panels to a continuous 1800 F flame and measuring tga time required Eor the back aide o! the panel to reach l000 F. The effect af veathering time on the veight Loss of the Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Compound is shown in Figure 1. The initial ~eight 1ass of about 15 percent af the original vet weight occurs during the initial curing of coating. hfter ini ties curing, the weight lass decreases over the next 40 years of simulated time from'the initiaL 15 percent -loss ta about 20 per-cent, Loss based an the original vet veight, at the coating. Thus, the weathering of the coating over a simulated 40 vear period . results in the additional loss of about 5 percent based an the original. vot, veight. Based on the data obtained in this accelerated weathering program, the weight retained can be predicted according to the folloving relationship: 82.684 t0 013~ for tPO 'l) where QL ~ weight loss as percentage af applied veight, X t ~ exposuz>> time, years
-It shauld be noted that the above relationshiy is not valid f'r =-
tia equal ta sero. The initial weight lass to be about lg percent o! applied ueighr. allowed for curing The effect of weathering time on the shrinkage of the coating thickness is presented in Figure 2. Xt should be noted that the coating thickness i's expressed as a percentage of the cured coat- . ing thickness which is about 85 percent, of the wet thickness. The rcauction in coating thickness due to weathering over a 40 year simulated service Life is about 5 percent of the cured coating t thickness.

Based on the data obtained in th.s accele"ated weathering program, the coating thickness as a pe"certage of. the initial cured thickness can be predictec according to. the following rela-tionship: where T t ~ wea T 97 42 percentage of original cured .thickness; t 'o'r ' 1. t00 (2) the ring exposure time, years The orig'inal'cured coating thickness is about 85 percent of the

.to'be used as a thermal shield for LPG rail tank cars. O..eof the coatings being evaluated is The=.o-Lag 330-'ubl.;..ing Co .pound. In the accelerat'ed life tes".'ing conducted at the Tra"..s-portation Test Center, Pueblo, Cclorado, seven rail tank cars coated with Therro-Lag 330-1 fireproofing--cate 'ial were included.
The accelerated life testing prog'.",a" for these rail ta";.k cars in-cluded-160,000 miles o travel at programed speeds ojer s=ooth and rough rails, salt spray,- chemical environments,. i-pacts from rocks and debris, coupling impact tests, and the natural" elements ove" a period of about. 12 months. Tne prngraz3simulates a service 1fe of about 10 years in actual rail service. Although the 'results o the Accelerated Life Testing Progr~ (ALT) -have not been published, to our knowledge the The~o-Lag 330-1 Subliming coa ing has passed these tests. Ease'd on the conclusion that the coatin'g has successfully passed the ALT Progra=, the coat-ing as applied to LPG rail tank cars has a projected service life of at least 10 years. In.add'ion to* the ALT Progr~' the Ballistic Research Labora-tory at Aberdeen Proving Ground, l".aryland, has ru<a weathering tests on three, 1/5-scale models of LPG rail tank cars.. The three tanks which were coated "ith 200 mils of Thermo-Lag 330-1 1/5-'cale Subl'iming Compound had weathered for two years. at Pueblo, Colorado, prior to being shipped to Aberdeen Proving Ground: It should be no"'ed that during these two years o. weathering no topcoat ?;ad been appl'ed to the coating. A t?.in coat of topcoat was brush applied to the three coated'tanks prior to additional weathering in the Yicrtar and Recoilless Rifle Conditionirg Unit. The weathering or condition'ng test was conducted in accord-ance ~zth Test 105 of'IL-S:D-331.which 'is the JAÃ Te=perature and Hu-:.:idity Cycle normally used'by the A~ .y for testing the chemical stability and safety of fuzes-and munitions. This JP~X C.'clS was modified so that thS te-.,per-ture extremes were -40 F (-65 F specified) and 140 F (160 F specifi d). The standa d. JPN Cycle is sholem in Figure 5 and tne modified JAN Cycle fear the DGT tank car test is given in Figure 6.
,The test was ter" inated after 28 days. 'The Thermo-Lag 330-1
. Subliming coating rex".ained intact on al~. three tank cars (1/5-scale) and sNowed little change in appearance. Photographs were taken for verification. So~e softening of the topcoat was'ob-se ved at the end of the high temperature (140 F), high hu="idity (95 percent) cycles veen checks were m-de during the test. The results of this test by the Ballistics Research Labora-tory show that the, The~iio-Lag 330-1 zireproofing coating has ex-cel ent weathering characteristics in te~s of retaining its ad-
? esion and of no checking, cracking, or blistering.

E s t.'nder 'ri ters Laboratories The Unde~liters Laboratories, Inc., have conducted fire tests on a~plea. of the Thermo-.L'ag 330 Subliming Coating, sysiem after the sa plea had been 'subjected to ~i= lated, exterior and interior envi- .. coiss, ental exposure conditions . Thes e s imulated environmental ex-posure tests consisted of wet, freeze, and dry exposures, exterior aging exposures, carbon dioxide'nd sulfur dioxide exposu"es, high hu-..idity (interior'nd exterior) exposures, wea'therometer exposures, chlorine exposures, and washing exposures. See,Appendix A for addi-ticz:al detai.ls. The results of the evaluation of the ther al per-fo=ance of the Thermo-L'ag 330 Subli-ing Coating sysrem after being subjected to the'bove mentioned eyposure tests are 'prese".red in
. Figure 7. The engineer'ng correlation given by Equation 4 included or. Fig e 7 (shown as a solid line) agrees very well with the results reported by the Underviters L-boratories,- Inc. It should'e noted that the experimental results from the U. L. tests are presented as areas which represent= the uncertainty in the experimental results.
The uncertainty lies. in the fact tha" the, coating thicknesses for the -individual s~ples were not reported." The dry film coating
. ti.icknesses, which;~ere measured prior. to testing, varied between 0 125 a sd 0. 1875 inches. ~ Tne w' "h n the areas in Figu=e 7 re lects the possible variation in t..e d=y film co'ating thickness. Also, th' nu .her .of experimental points (includes a't least one control s~ple ano one expos, d s~ple) in each a" ea varies from. at least t--o (2) experimental points to 24 experimental-points. It should also be 'o:ed theat no allowance for 'coating thickress. shrinwage has been made.
Data from*accelerated weathering tests indicate that the coating thickness may decrease as much as 10 percent upon'ontinued w'eathering or ag'ng of the coating. These results from the U. L. tests- show that the thecal perfor ance of the Thermo-Lag 330 Subliming Coating system can be predicted with considerable conf idence "even af ter weathering.

Conclusions Based on the information and experimental data from. the ac- ~ cclcrated weathering t'cst program, the fol'lowing conclusions can* be made:
l. Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Compound has excellent weathering pioperties'nd resistance to various chemicaL solvents and reagents.

2. The overall results from the accelerated wcithering tests con-ducted by TSI, Inc., appear 'to be consistent and reliable.

3. The reduction in thermal performance after 40 years of simu-lated exterior service appeari to be.dependent only on the re-duction in the coating thickness.
4.. The adhesive strength of weathered Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Compound is about 20 percent less than unweathered cured matc-h rial. The measured adhesive strength of 'the weathered fire-proofing coating is about 80 psi. 5 . The thermal performance of thc Thermo-Lag 330-1 Subliming Com-ound.is 'not signi'ficantly affected after exposure to the simu-atcd environmentaL exposure and fire tests performed by the Lhdcrwriters'aboratories.

Subject:
Small-Scale Test Program to Evaluate the Pire Resistance Performance of a Mastic Coating When Subjected to Simulated Exterior and Interior Exposure Conditions.
Dear Mr. Peldman:
This Report describes the results of small-scale fire tests conducted to evaluate the *fire resistance performance of a mastic coating applied to steel plates and subjected to simulated exterior and interior environmental exposure conditions. 'Zhe mastic coating material was applied to the steel plates in
Ae same -nanner and with the same equipment used in a previous investigation of fire resistive column designs.
The exterior environmental exposure conditions to.:shich the mastic coating was subjected. included aging, high humidity, industrial atmosphere (CO2-SO2 air mixture) combination wet, freeze and dry cycling, weatherometer and salt spray. The interior environmental test conditions included aging, high humidity, industrial atmosphere (CO2-SO2 air mixture), washing and chlorine. The object of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of the interior and exterior exposures on the fire resistance performance of the coating when subjected to fire exposure of &e.severity discribed by the time-temperature curve, as defined in the Standard, UL263
I I I I I I I
UNDER% RITERS LABORATORIES INC.'6802 Pag'e 2 April ll, 1977 Satisfactory performance of the exposed samples was determined on .the basis of no adverse signs of delamination, cracking, shrinking, or swelling of the mastic coating after exposure to the exterior and interior environmental tests as compa'red to the appearance of the control samples prior.to the fire tests. During the fire tests satisfactory perfomance of the exposed samples was determined on the basis of the intumescence, delamination and fall-off performance characteristics of exposed samples not being adversely affected as compared to the performance of the control samples. Previous environmental tests have shown that some exposure conditions produce somewhat different temperature transmission characteristics of the prote'ction material than the control samples. In some cases the exposed samples exhibited higher unexposed surface temperatures on the steel plate than the control samples during the early portion of the fire tests and, conversely, lower tem-peratures during the later period of the test. In other cases, the exposed samples exhibited lower unexposed surface temperatures throughout the entire test. In view of the variation in un-xposed surface temperature characteristics between the control and exposed samples, and between individual control samplesf and upper limit of 25 percent of the average unexposed surface temperature of the control samples was established for acceptable performance of the exposed samples, except for the salt spray exposure samples. This assumes that the fall-off and intumescents characteristics of the exposed samples under fire exposure were comparable to the control samples. In the case of the salt spray exposure test it has been shown that the unexposed surface temperature exceed the 25 percent upper limit for all presently tested materials, although the overall performance characteristics of the materials with respect to delamination, falloff, and intumescence under fire exposure were not to be seriously affected. Therefore, satisfactory performance in the salt spray exposure test was determined on the basis of delamination, fall-off and intumescent characteristics of exposed sample in comparison with the control samples.

8. Chlorine Three 10 by 18 in. samples- were exposed to a moist arr chlorine atmosphere in a closed chamber at 95 F for six months.: Water maintained in the bottom of the test cham-ber was treated with a dry chlorine compound intended for svimming" pool purification. The dry chlorine was added and main ained at.
three times the normal dosaae recomm'ended to swimming pools.
9. wash1ncS - Five 10 by 36 in. samples were thoroughly vetted with a 2.5 percent solution of "Tide" and vater (25 g "Tide" per 1000 ml of 'water) and left to air dry vithout rinsing.
The exposure cycle was repeated 20 times on each sample. SMALL SCALE FIRE TESTS: During-the fire tests, no attempt was made to restrain expansion of the samples, no load vas applied, and no deflection measurements vere made. The samples were supported during the tests using a precast concrete frame. The furnace temperatures followed the Time-Temperature Curve as defined in Standard UL263. METHOD The temperatures of the furnace chamber were measured by three s~s etrically located thermocouples, placed 12.in. belov the exposed surface. The temperatures of the unexposed surface of the samples described in this Report vere measured by one thermocouple located at the center of each test sample. Each 'thermocouple was covered with a 6 by 6 in. dry asbestos pad. RESULTS
'Character and Distribution of Pire The furnace fire for each o the tests were-luminous and veil distributed; and the temperatures followed the Standard Time-Temperature Curve as outlined in the Standard for Fire-Tests of Building-Constrution and Materials, UL263.
Observations Durin the Tests Most of the samples performed in a sxmx ar manner except for the salt spray and weatherometer samples. All of the samples began to intumesce after approxi-mately 8 min of fire exposure.

Rex: t'ederaL btanoara I~La Method 6152 ACCELERATED. WEATHERING The purpose of the test is to evaluate the effect of accel crated long term - outdoor exposure ('40.Q yeari) on several key physical performance par'ameters.of THERHO-LAG 330-1 subliming. compound. Test Mati ria The material under test is THERMO-LAG 330-1 subLiming compound. Test panels are solvent cleaned 4" x 1.2" steel ~ THERMO-IAG 330 1 subliming compound is applied in one application to a nominal wet'thickness of 200 mils and allowed to cure for a period of 72 houx's in the Weathex-0 Meter under px'evaiLing conditions. The back and the edges of each test panel are given a protective coating of melted wax. A aratus The weathering machine .is, a self-contained unit having a caxbon arc as the light source and adequate equipment to measure current voltage and temperature. It is an Atlas Electric Devices Company unit. The light source consists of a sing1e carbon arc operating at a potential of approximately 130 volts at 17 amperes. Atlas Vf.olet Arc .Carbon No. 2 is used. Temperature recording is vade by thexmocouplei. Distilled water fsr rain simulation is employed at a temperature of approximately 70 F. Procedure The procedure is depicted in FederaL Standard 14La, Method 6152 dated 9-1-65 'he total test duration is 7223 houxs (40.0, years outdoor exposure equivalent). Each two hour cycle consists of . 102 minutes exposuxe to ultraviolet light without rain simulation and 18 minutes of exposure to ultraviolet light combined with . rain simulation. A relative humidity of circa 9SX and an ambient temperature of 145 F were maintained throughout the test. A total of 25 test samples were sub]ected to these tests and with drawn in duplicate at selected intexvals as. delineated in Tables. 1"5 The total duration of exposure was noted and recorded fox
~
each set of samples withdrawn and tested.

Ref: Federal Standard 141a . Method 6152 ACCELERATED 4EWTHERZNG The samples after. Weather-O-Meter .exposure were then sub]ected to the following tests: I
1. Net Measurement of THERMO-LAG 330-1 Weight 2~ Net Measurement of THERMO-LAG 330-1 Thickness Adhesion in Tension e'er ASTM D618
.'3. Visual Observation of Chalking and Checking
5. Time Required for the Back Side Temperature of the Test Specimen t'o Reach an Average of 1000 F under Csntinuous Exposure to a Flame Source of 1800 F.
The progression of tests results as a function of recorded time in the Weathex 0-Meter and its correlation with simulated exterior exposure life were made and are reported in Tables 1-5. The general criteria recommended by ASTM was used whereby a two hour exposure to a cycle delineated under "Procedures" above is assumed to yield two days of outdoor exposure. Results The results of the'test program indicates. that the THERMO LAG 330-1 subliming compound may be suitable for use under conditions of continuous exterior exposure for p period of at least 40.0 years. The fire resistive properties remain within a 10'X performance i envelope. The adhesion is orders of ~gnitude higher than that obtained for conventional fire proofing compounds as shown at-the end of the 40.0 year exposure cycle. No evidence of checking or. chalking was observed at the end of the entire exposure period. The weight and the thickness regression was entirely loss during the 'initial curing period with an asymptotic attributed'o-water
.. approach to a maximum 202 water loss (30'T. theoretical) and a maxinssn thiclmess reduction of 18.5'4 (20K theoretical) at the ind of the 40..0 year outdoor simulated cycle..
