ASTM E2923 Standard Test for Longevity Evaluation of Firestopping Materials Using Differential Scanning Calorimeter

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E2923 testing. This application covers a standard procedure for quantitatively evaluating the longevity of materials used in firestop systems using data from differential scanning calorimetry.

ASTM E2923 Standard Test for Longevity Evaluation of Firestopping Materials Using Differential Scanning Calorimeter

This application aims to distinguish firestop materials that are expected to retain their performance characteristics over time from those that are expected to decline in performance characteristics over time.

DSC experimental curve evaluation can yield indifferent results where interpretation of sample properties is not possible without additional testing using conventional durability testing. It evaluates the extent of chemical reactions that will occur in the firestop material under the specified temperature and humidity conditions. This application does not measure longevity under the specific severe environmental conditions or building operation that may be experienced by an individual firestop system.

This application is intended to be used to test materials used in a firestop system. The application is not intended to be used to test the properties of installed firestop systems.

This application aims to evaluate the following types of materials used in through-through firestops:

  • endothermic;
  • swelling;
  • Insulation;
  • ablatives;
  • Sublimation.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
