- Abstract
- The fire tests of prefabricated exterior walls were made at the National Bureau of Standards and two at a laboratory in the Netherlands to provide data for comparisons of the four constructions. Certain deviations in the Standard Test Methods, made necessary by the design of the Netherlands test furnace, were carried through all the tests. The tests do not provide the basis for standard fire ratings because of these deviations but show the relative performances of the four constructions under essentially equal test conditions.
