Passive Fire Protection

TENMAT FIREFLY 109 PIPE AND VENT DUCT FIRE SLEEVES PASS THE MOST ONEROUS EUROPEAN FIRE TEST STANDARDS FOR 2 HOURS


The latest European Standard, EN1366-3, can require plastic pipes and ventilation ducting to be tested in the open / open or uncapped / uncapped scenario. This means that the fire test is undertaken with the pipe or duct fully open to the test furnace so that the fire can travel straight through the service and cause an almost instant failure if the fire seal does not react quickly.

At a time when other Fire Protection Manufacturers are complaining that this element to the standard is almost impossible to pass, TENMAT have completed yet another full scale test on a wide range of plastic pipes and ducts achieving a successful 120 minute result. The services were tested both uncapped / uncapped and uncapped / capped to cover a variety of site conditions including ventilated waste pipe systems.

The European Test Standards are to be the only available option for future testing and TENMAT can offer product to these most onerous standards today, again TENMAT lead the field in fire safety.
