At which;
• the temperature within the test chamber was not in accordance with the ASTM
E 119 time-temperature curve when sprinklers discharged water onto the
window within the test furnace.
• operation of the sprinklers onto the window prevented the temperature from
reaching the limits of the ASTM E 119 temperature curve within the test
chamber.
Indicator of 2 attributes:
• The fire stop’s / assembly’s integrity
during fire exposure
• Calculate up to the most demanding 46.5 linear feet (14,2 linear meters) on
one side of the window.
• Based upon NFPA 1.2 rule when area of operation is 1500 square feet (139.4 square
meters)
• If an area reduction for quick response sprinklers is utilized, the linear length of the
calculated window sprinklers shall not be less than 36 linear feet (11 meters)
• If the window sprinklers are in the hydraulically most demanding area of the
building, the water demand of the window sprinklers must be added and
balanced to the calculated area demand.
• If the window sprinklers are outside the hydraulically most demanding area of
the building, the water demand of the window sprinklers is not required to be
added to the remote area demand BUT, the ceiling sprinklers adjacent to the
window sprinklers must be calculated with the window sprinkler demand.
