268: Standard Test Method for Determining Ignitability of Exterior Wall Assemblies Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source
$204.15
Accurately assess ignitability by testing exterior wall assemblies according to the methodology presented in NFPA 268.
Revised to include updated references, the 2017 edition of NFPA 268: Standard Test Method for Determining Ignitability of Exterior Wall Assemblies Using a Radiant Heat Energy Source describes a method to determine the propensity of ignition of exterior wall assemblies from exposure to 12.5 kW /m2 radiant heat in the presence of a pilot ignition source.
From instrumentation and documentation to safety precautions and calibration, NFPA 268 provides testing laboratories and manufacturers with the comprehensive testing guidance they need.
The revised edition of NFPA 268 is the reliable source for the most up-to-date information and methods of testing the ignitability of exterior wall assemblies and their propensity for contributing to fire expansion.
From procedures and specimens to calibration of equipment and safety precautions, NFPA 268 is your comprehensive resource to this method of product fire testing. The standard applies to exterior wall assemblies with flat, or almost flat, outward-facing surfaces. The 2022 edition is updated to address testing at different incident heat fluxes for larger fire separation distances.
