New vs Old Room Fire Final UL

Order: Reorder

Updated: 17 Dec 2010

This video, made by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Testing) shows the danger of "modern" fires compared to the danger of fires occuring 40 years ago. Keep your eye on the clock! The room on the left is furnished with old fashioned furnishings, made mostly with natural materials (wood, cotton, wool, silk, etc). The room on the right is furnished with stuff made largely with synthetic material. Most synthetics are petroleum based. Think of them as frozen gasoline. The legacy room fire is just begining to really spread at the time the modern room is burning from floor to ceiling. Even the air is burning! Think about this next time somone tells you that "response time" will only be slightly increased. If you or a loved one is in the fire apartment or house, a slight increase is NOT acceptable. Please pass this along to everyone you know that lives in NYC. The Mayor seems not to understand the meaning of "essential service".

Attendees for Saturday's behind-the-scenes tour of UL got to see a live test in the the large scale fire-test facility. This particular fire test was the latest in the series designed to test the protection solutions for exposed expanded plastic commodities in a rack storage system. The results could have an impact on NFPA 13, Installation of Sprinkler Systems (http://www.nfpa.org/13).

More than a hundred experiments have examined the changes in the fire environment over time, impact of ventilating ventilation limited fires, implications of flow control and effectiveness in suppression tactics. These experiments were conducted with fire fighters from across the country from departments of different types, with varying levels of staffing, resources and operating procedures. The NIST and UL studies have produced tactical considerations that have become common themes over several studies which may change the way you view your standard operating guidelines.

Greenheck Dampers - UL 555 Duct Impact Test

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:33
Updated: 11 Feb 2014

Damper Quick Connect Damper Break Away Test - http://www.greenheck.com/products/category/4 The Quick Connect breakaway test was conducted to receive Underwriters Laboratories ( UL ) qualification for connecting a manufactured flange system by Ductmate, Ward, or Nexus to a T-D-C or T-D-F fabricated flange system. Testing requires the damper to be installed in a UL approved fire barrier. UL Standards require the damper to be sized at sixty inches by forty eight inches. We tested a multi-blade fire damper with our UL approved single side retaining angle installation. Two sided retaining angle installations are qualified based upon single side test. Ductmate was installed on the sleeve of the damper and T D C or T D F was installed on the ductwork. In the field it does not matter which flange system is installed on the sleeve of the damper or the duct. The following four test variations were performed: • Ductmate to TDC with versa cleats • Ductmate to TDC with Tek screws • Ductmate to TDF with versa cleats • Ductmate to TDF with Tek screws All units were tested with butyl gasket. The test requires that a barrel be filled with sand, with the total weight of the barrel being four hundred forty pounds. The barrel is then dropped from ten feet above the ductwork. Under normal conditions, the impact of the barrel will cause the connection to break away from the damper. To pass UL qualification, the duct is not required to break away from the damper. The damper must remain in the wall after the impact, and freely operate open and closed three times to gain UL approval. On July twenty seventh 2005, Greenheck was the first manufacturer to pass the interchangeable connection test. The Quick Connect breakaway is available on fire, combination fire smoke, and smoke dampers.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Washington DC. 7 June 2012 President Benigno S. Aquino III met with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) President and CEO Keith Williams and UL Vice President for Global Government Affairs Anne Weeks at the Mandarin Hotel in Washington D.C. Geared on expanding and enhancing its global market access, UL plans to invest in the Philippines through the Global Technology Research Center, which conducts studies on safety, performance, quality and energy efficiecy, and other aspects critical to evaluate consumer products. It also perform product testing operations that can support its Philippine-based customers. The said facility will support all UL operations around the world, and is seen as good news for local companies in the Philippines to lessen its costs in acquiring product certifications since they need not have to send their products to testing centers abroad. Underwriters Laboratories is an independent standards development organization, testing lab and certification body with over 115 years of experience in safety science industry. Its mission is to enhance life safety and facilitate global commerce. Also present during the meeting were Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario, Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose Cuisia Jr., Transportations and Communication Secretary Mar Roxas, Finance Sec. Cesar Purisima, Trade and Industry Sec. Gregory Domingo, Tourism Sec. Ramon Jimenez, Energy Sec. Jose Rene Almendras and PCDSPO Sec.
