Resistance to Fire Testing
RESISTANCE TO FIRE TESTING is the term for testing systems designed to contain or resist the passage of fire for a
specified length of time. A sample fire door, block wall, glass partition, fire damper, or similar system is installed in a
supporting construction, which is then placed on the vertical open side of the fire testing furnace. The temperature in
the furnace is raised following a prescribed time-temperature curve, and various checks for failure criteria are
conducted to determine the time rating of the specimen. We have five resistance testing furnaces: two
industry-standard 3m x 3m vertical furnaces, a 4m x 5m vertical furnace, a 4m x 5m horizontal furnace and a 1.8m cube
furnace, as well as loadbearing testing capability.
