3 Report No SAT-005 Page 3 of 50 2 Introduction Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (Intertek) has conducted testing for United Plastics Corporation, on DB #4looring Material, to evaluate its fire resistance. Testing was conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and following the standard methods of, ASTM E Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, January 2012 Edition. This evaluation took place on September 11, Test Samples 3.1. SAMPLE SELECTION Samples were submitted to Intertek directly from the client. Samples were not independently selected for testing. Samples were received at the Evaluation Center on February 7, SAMPLE AND ASSEMBLY DESCRIPTION Intertek technicians constructed a 13 x 19 floor assembly using 12 deep wooden truss members, underlayment grade subflooring, a vapor barrier and a light weight concrete floor finish, insulation, furring channels and gypsum wallboard Framing 12 deep trusses spaced 24 o.c.: manufactured by Trussway Manufacturing Inc., Truss FF01 Floor Truss designed using Southern Yellow Pine 2x4 lumber. Two layers of 3/4" plywood were attached to the trusses to seal the perimeter of the sample. The plywood perimeter was attached using two 3-1/2 deck screws in the top and bottom chord of each truss. An additional 2 x 4 brace was installed in the center of each truss, secured with two #8d nails, top and bottom (see Appendix A). 2. Insulation 2 x 4 x 4 thick Thermafiber Safing Insulation batts (reported density 4pcf), compression fit into the space between trusses and supported by.090 diameter galvanized steel wires attached to the wood trusses, nominally 18 o.c. 3. Subflooring 23/32 thick, tongue & groove, underlayment-grade wood panels oriented with the grain perpendicular to the trusses with end joints staggered 4 ; secured to trusses using #6d ringed shank nails spaced 12 o.c. along each truss. 7

4 Report No SAT-005 Page 4 of Vapor Barrier 4 wide DB #4looring Material, installed fiber side down / rubber side up; strips butted together with duct tape over the butt joints. 5. Finish Flooring 3/4 thick lightweight insulating concrete mixture of normal weight Portland cement and vermiculite concrete aggregate in a 1:6 volume ratio; compressive strength average 90psi after 7 days; installed on September 4, 2012 by Drury South, Inc. 6. Furring Channels 7/8 deep x 2-11/16 wide at the base and 1-7/16 at the face, 25 GA galvanized steel, spaced 16 o.c. perpendicular to the trusses; secured to trusses using two #6 x 1-1/4 coarse thread screws at each truss. 7. Interior Cladding One layer of 4 x 10 x 5/8, Type C, Gypsum Board (Temple-Inland) installed with the long edge perpendicular to the furring channels, secured with #6 x 1 long Type S bugle head steel screws spaced 8 o.c. along the channels. All seams and fasteners received a Level 2 finish. 4 Testing and Evaluation Methods 4.1. INSTRUMENTATION The unexposed surface of the assembly was instrumented with a total of eleven (11), 24 GA, Type K, fiberglass jacketed thermocouples: TCs #1 9 were evenly distributed as described in the standard; TCs #10 and 11 were additional (see Appendix A). The output of the thermocouples and the furnace probes were monitored by a 300-channel Yokogawa, Inc., Darwin Data Acquisition Unit. The computer was programmed to scan and save data every 30 seconds. Following the test, the files were imported into MS Excel for tabular and graphical display (presented in Appendix B) TEST STANDARD Testing was conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and following the standard methods of ASTM E Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, January 2012 Edition. The assembly was secured to the large scale horizontal furnace and was tested to the standard time-temperature curve described in the E119 standard. 5 Testing and Evaluation Results 5.1. RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS The test was initiated on Tuesday, September 11, The ambient temperature at the time of the test was 75 F and the relative humidity was 65%. There was no superimposed load for this test.

5 Report No SAT-005 Page 5 of 50 Observations made during the test are presented below: Time (min:sec) Observations 0:00 The test was initiated at 8:48 A.M. 3:20 The gypsum board paper on the exposed surface ignited 4:00 The gypsum board paper on the exposed surface was consumed 15:00 The joint tape and compound on the exposed surface began to flake 19:00 The joint tape and compound on the exposed surface were consumed 20:20 There were small flames at the joints of the exposed surface 27:00 Flaming had increased to moderate ; the gypsum board began to sag at the joints 31:30 There was approximately 1/2 shrinkage at the joints on the exposed surface 38:00 The gypsum board continued to sag; there were flames at the joints 41:00 The joints at the long edges of the gypsum board on the exposed surface continue to expand 46:00 The gypsum board on the exposed surface began to fall 48:00 All of the gypsum board had fallen from the sample 52:30 There was heavy flaming on the exposed surface of the sample 55:00 There were popping sounds from the sample; there was smoke from the perimeter at the unexposed surface 57:30 Heavy flaming continued on the exposed surface of the sample 59:00 There was visible deflection at the center of the sample 60:00 The burners were extinguished and the test was terminated The assembly withstood the effects of the fire test without passage of flame or gasses hot enough to ignite cotton waste. The heat conducted through the assembly did not cause the temperatures measured by the thermocouple to exceed the 250 F rise in average temperature or 325 F rise in individual temperatures over the initial starting temperatures. Assembly drawings, the test data and photographs documenting the test are located in the Appendices of this test report EXAMINATION OF RESULTS Correction Factor for the Fire Endurance Test In accordance with the E119 test standard, a calculation for any correction to the indicated fire resistance period was done. The correction factor was then mathematically added to the indicated fire resistance period, yielding the fire resistance period achieved by this specimen as shown on the next page.

6 Report No SAT-005 Page 6 of 50 Correction Factor for the Fire Endurance Test ITEM DESCRIPTION TEST VALUE C correction factor minutes -7 seconds I indicated fire-resistance period 60 minutes A area under the curve of indicated average furnace temperature for the first three fourths ( F min) of the indicated period As area under the standard furnace curve for the same part of the indicated period ( F min) ITEM DESCRIPTION TEST VALUE L lag correction 3240 FIRE RESISTANCE PERIOD ACHIEVED BY THIS SPECIMEN ==> 60 minutes Note: The standard specifies that the fire resistance be determined to the nearest integral minute. Consequently, if the correction factor is less than 30 seconds, and the test specimen met the criteria for the full indicated fire resistance period, no correction is deemed necessary. 6 Conclusion Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (Intertek) has conducted testing for United Plastics Corporation, on DB #4looring Material, to evaluate its fire resistance. Testing was conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and following the standard methods of, ASTM E Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, January 2012 Edition. This evaluation took place on September 11, Based on the results of this test, the assembly withstood the effects of the fire test and achieved a fire resistance rating of 60 minutes. The conclusions of this test report may not be used as part of the requirements for Intertek product certification. Authority to Mark must be issued for a product to become certified.
