<br />Testing
<br />I lle ANSI/Ul. 723 (ASTM 1.84) Surface Burning Characleristics of Building Materials lest IS typically used to determine
<br />the felm Ive surface burning characteristics of materials used as coverings for walls and cellings. The test requires 21
<br />feet (7.3 m) x 2 feel (0.61 m) 01 mate lial lor a single evaluation and does not assess fire·risk potential ol material in an
<br />actual tire situation. 1 he test provides a ineans to describe a material's lire and heat response during a conlrolled bum.
<br />fhe "Sleiner Tunnel" burn chamber is 25 leet (7.6 m) in length, 2 feel. (0.6 in) wide and 1 foot 9 incheli (0.3 m)
<br />1, depth with Lhe walls of the tunnel Ejeing lined with insulated firebrick. The test specimen is lowered horizontally
<br />inlo the turniel, and a lid con btructed of noncombustible metal and a minerat composite is ti,ed 10 Jer,1 the Lunnel so
<br />thai no air enters the chamber during testing.
<br />Gas burneits al one end ol the tunnel provide a 4.5 tool (1.4 m) 1 lainesource for k,nition, and a blower creates a
