- Abstract
- The results of fire-endurance or hose-stream tests of 20 structural clay tile partitions tested at the National Bureau of Standards are given. The partitions were 3, 4, and 6 in. thick, exclusive of the plaster. Some of the partitions were built of tile laid on end; some, with the tile laid on side; and some, with the tile laid alternately on side and on end. The fire-endurance and the hose-stream tests in this series were made on the same partitions. The hose-stream tests indicated that tile partitions can be considered as meeting the hose-stream requirements applicable to their respective fire-resistance ratings.
