(Practice)Standard Practice for Application of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs)
Standard Practice for Application of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This practice is intended for use by the material specifier, general contractor, applicator, or any individual group requiring information regarding the application of SFRM.
This practice is not intended to replace the manufacturers' application instructions.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers guidelines for application of sprayed fiber and cementitious fire-resistive materials.
1.2 This practice is general in nature. It is not intended to cover all requirements for application.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 10 and 14.1.2.
