(Practice)Standard Practice for Application of Hose Stream
Standard Practice for Application of Hose Stream
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice is intended to standardize the apparatus used and the method or pattern of application of a standard hose stream to building elements as one part of the assessment and fire resistance of building elements.
4.1.1 This practice specifies the water pressure and duration of application of the hose stream to the test assembly.
4.2 This practice is intended to be used only after a test assembly has completed a prescribed standard fire-resistance test.
4.3 The practice exposes a test assembly to a standard hose stream under controlled laboratory conditions.
4.3.1 Pass/fail criteria are defined in the appropriate fire test method.
4.3.2 This exposure is not intended to replicate typical fire fighting operations or all applied or impact loads a system could be subjected to in field use and conditions.
4.4 Any variation from tested conditions has the potential of substantially changing the performance characteristics determined by this practice.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is applicable to building elements required to be subjected to the impact, erosion, and cooling effects of a hose stream as part of a fire-test-response standard. Building elements include, but are not limited to, wall and partition assemblies, fire-resistive joint systems, and doors.
1.2 This practice shall register performance of the building element under specific hose stream conditions. It shall not imply that, either after exposure or under other conditions, the structural capability of the building element is intact or that the building element is suitable for use.
1.3 The result derived from this practice is one factor in assessing the integrity of building elements after fire exposure. The practice prescribes a standard hose stream exposure for comparing performance of building elements after fire exposure and evaluates various materials and construction techniques under common conditions.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 The text of this standard references notes which provide explanatory material. These notes shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.6 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitative measures.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

1. Scope
1.1 This practice is applicable to building elements required to be subjected to the impact, erosion, and cooling effects of a hose
stream as part of a fire-test-response standard. Building elements include, but are not limited to, wall and partition assemblies,
fire-resistive joint systems, and doors.
1.2 This practice shall register performance of the building element under specific hose stream conditions. It shall not imply that,
either after exposure or under other conditions, the structural capability of the building element is intact or that the building element
is suitable for use.
1.3 The result derived from this practice is one factor in assessing the integrity of building elements after fire exposure. The
practice prescribes a standard hose stream exposure for comparing performance of building elements after fire exposure and
evaluates various materials and construction techniques under common conditions.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical

1.6 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitative measures.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4. Significance and Use
4.1 This practice is intended to standardize the apparatus used and the method or pattern of application of a standard hose stream
to building elements as one part of the assessment and fire resistance of building elements.
4.1.1 This practice specifies the water pressure and duration of application of the hose stream to the test assembly.
4.2 This practice is intended to be used only after a test assembly has completed a prescribed standard fire-resistance test.
4.3 The practice exposes a test assembly to a standard hose stream under controlled laboratory conditions.
4.3.1 Pass/fail criteria are defined in the appropriate fire test method.
4.3.2 This exposure is not intended to replicate typical fire fighting operations or all applied or impact loads a system could be
subjected to in field use and conditions.
4.4 Any variation from tested conditions has the potential of substantially changing the performance characteristics determined
by this practice.
5. Apparatus
5.1 The apparatus used to apply the hose stream is shown in Fig. 1 and shall be capable of delivering a solid stream of water
at the pressure specified in the fire-resistance test method.
5.1.1 The water stream shall be delivered through a 2-2 ⁄2 in. (64 mm) -in. (64-mm) hose discharging through a National
Standard Playpipe of corresponding size equipped with a 1-1 ⁄8 in. (29 mm) -in. (29-mm) discharge tip of standard taper,
smooth-bore pattern without a shoulder at the orifice. Refer to UL 385.
5.1.1.1 The playpipe shall be attached at its base to a rigid support that permits the hose stream to be directed at the specimen
from top to bottom and from side to side as required in 8.4 without changing the location of the base of the playpipe relative to
the test specimen. The rigid base is permitted to be a wheeled apparatus that is blocked to prevent movement during the hose stream
application.
NOTE 1—Typical support and swivel devices are shown in Fig. 2.
5.1.2 The water pressure at the base of the nozzle shall be measured by providing a 12 in. (305 mm) 12-in. (305-mm) length
of a straight run 2-2 ⁄2 in. (64 mm) -in. (64-mm) pipe between the hose and the playpipe. Eight inches downstream from one end,
the pipe shall have an ⁄8 in. (3.2 mm) -in. (3.2-mm) diameter pressure tap drilled through the pipe sidewall with a pipe coupling
