| Abstract |
Current issues affecting the use of fire and smoke dampers are reviewed. Topics discussed include problems the dampers will solve, current test methods and standards used to evaluate dampers, application of damper technology by the model building codes, and the contribution of dampers to overall fire safety. Detailed are: fire and smoke damper requirements, fire test criteria, fire safety decision tree factors. A typical room configuration with fire barrier and its performance factors is illustrated. |
