Fire resistance tests for

- Part 2: Fire dampers
General principles
The objective of the test method
described in EN 1366-2 is to assess
the ability of a fre damper to with-
stand heat and prevent the passage of
smoke and gases at high temperature.
The method is primarily intended for
tests of mechanical devices. It is not
suitable for testing fre dampers in
suspended ceilings without modifca-
tion.
The fre damper is mounted in a wall
or foor and connected to a duct
system with an exhaust fan at the op-
posite end. The duct system and the
exhaust fan make it possible to estab-
lish a pressure difference over the fre
damper and measure the leakage.
The test procedure can be divided into
four parts.
the damper is subjected to 50
opening and closing cycles
the leakage at ambient tempera-
ture is determined with a pressure
difference over the fre damper of
300 Pa or higher
the exhaust fan is set to produce
an air velocity of 0.15 m/s across
the fre damper opening. The
exhaust fan is turned off when
the set value is found
the fre test is initiated with the fre
damper fully open at the start of
the test. The exhaust fan is switch
on (with the predefned set value)
within 10 seconds of the burners
being ignited. If the fre damper
does not close within 2 minutes,
the fre damper has failed and the
test is discontinued.
Test Specimen
The size of fre damper to be tested
should be the largest possible size.
In addition the smallest possible size
must be tested if compliance with the
leakage criterion is required.
