Engineering Judgement
Hilti has performed extensive testing in both through- penetration and construction joint applications. However, due
to variations in construction throughout the phases of a project, it is not possible to test every application that may
be encountered. For these situations, Hilti has developed a process for creating custom drawings to accommodate
particular applications. Hilti custom drawings, or Engineering Judgements, are developed through the careful and
restricted application of accepted engineering principles and fire protection guidelines set forth by the IFC (Internation-
al Firestop Council). Please contact your local Hilti firestop specialist if you require an Engineering Judgement solution.

Firestop Systems: Application Guide

AGEING RESISTANCE
The question of long-term resistance arises more frequently for fire protection products than for any other construction products. This is to be expected, as fire protection must
retain its functionality throughout the life of a building. Ideally, it would be possible to send the products to an institution, which, after the appropriate tests, could certify resistance
for some 20 to 40 years. Unfortunately, although the aging of plastics and paints, especially colour fastness under the influence of light and temperature or the corrosion of metals
can be easily simulated, there are no basic studies or real-time documentation defining a time-lap test to assess fire protection products. Furthermore, fire protection products
are made of very different compounds and therefore cannot be evaluated according to any standardised scheme- for instance, mortar cannot be assessed against the same
criteria as silicone sealant. There are standards to evaluate resistance to atmospheric conditions, aging, chemicals, humidity etc. There also are enough institutions ready to
test according to these standards, but a statement as to how many years these functions are guaranteed can not be given by any institution. In order to be able to provide our
clients with more definite information in this respect, Hilti conducts additional tests of Hilti firestop systems in cooperation with an independent testing institute, simulating an
accelerated ageing process. On the basis of the ageing cycles employed in this process as well as experience gained in the field of construction in concrete, it can be assumed
that Hilti firestop systems which have passed the above tests have a service life of approximately 30 years from manufacturing date. This expected long-term ageing resistance
of Hilti firestop systems, which is given on the basis of the above mentioned tests, depends on a number of factors on which Hilti basically has no influence (e.g. environmental
factors such as extreme environmental conditions, chemicals, etc.) and, therefore, are subject to the following conditions which must be strictly observed by the user with regard
to the respective Hilti firestop system:
- Strict adherence to the Hilti’s operating, setting, installling and other technical instructions
- Rigorous compliance with all other conditions set in the respective specifications during the lifetime of the Hilti firestop systems, in particular with regard to regular control and
maintenance as well as to foreseeable use under normal climatic condition in the respective field of application.

WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance is understood by Hilti to mean a construction material’s ability to withstand the effects on water
and moisture not only in the completed, occupied building, but also during the construction phase. During the
construction of the carcase of a building, before it is fully sealed and weatherproof, entire floors may be flooded by
rainwater. inadequately hardened sealants may therefore be washed out. These products therfore require a certain
degree of rain resistance. Once the firestop products have cured, there is a danger of mould or mildew if a great deal
of moisture is present in rooms. If mould develops it must not damage the firestop products. But a certain degree of
water resistance must also be provided for openings in a fireproof wall to avoid water damage from water pipe breaks
or, in case of fire, water used in extinguishing a fire. Water resistance is therrefore an important ancillary element of
firestop systems. Hilti firestop systems are not merely tested and approved in accordance with international firestop
requirements, but have also been tested for their water-resistant properties according to the valid national and
international standards.

SMOKE AND GAS TIGHTNESS.


The smoke-and gas-tightness of firestop products is of decisive importance in the event of fire as it may save lives.
Moreover, gas-tightness also plays an important role in the thermal insulation of buildings. The requirements to
be complied with in terms of smoke-and gas-tightness are laid down in various laws and regulaions. Hilti firestop
products are not only tested and approved internationally in accordance with the stipulations of passive fire
prevention regulations, they are also comprehensively tested to ensure compliance with the standards currently
applicable to smoke-and gas-tightness. The Subject of smoke-and gas-tightness is of decisive importance in the
following applications.

Smoke-and gas-tightness in the event of fire


The most important point is imperviousness to smoke and fumes. It is the smoke and fumes from fires that cause
most deaths and the greatest damage. Accordingly, these must be effectively prevented from spreading in the event
of fire. Gas extinguishing systems also have an influence on firestop products, Firstly, these systems cause a significant rise in pressure in the room concerned. Secondly, the
extinguishing gas may be harmful to the persons present in the building.

Gas-and air-tightness of buildings


Within the scope of regulations to promote energy conservation, laws in various countries specify that joints and penetrations in buildings must be air-and gas-tight.

Protection from critical gases and odours


In many branches of industry, the spread of odours or critical gases must be prevented through use of impermeable materials.

SOUND INSULATION
Sound insulation in buildings is of great significance to the health and well-being of the occupants. Sound insulation
is of particular importance in residential construction because an apartment provides not only a place of rest
and relaxation, it also serves to screen off the personal domestic environment from that of neighbours. Specifc
regulations apply to certain types of buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels and office accommodation. The
sound insulation requirments to be complied with are laid down in directives, standards and regulations throughout
the world. Hilti firestop products are not only tested and approved internationally in accordance with the stipulations
of passive fire prevention regulations, they are also comprehensively tested to ensure compliance with sound
insulation requirements.

Airborne sound
“Airborne sound” is the term applied to fluctuations in pressure which spread out in a wave pattern and thereby
induce oscillation in the objects or parts of a structure they collide with. Airborne sound in buildings is transformed into structure-borne sound as it strikes walls, floors or ceilings
and is passed on through the structure in this form before subsequently radiating into neighbouring rooms as airborne sound. At the same time, the sound becomes weaker as
it passes through a wall or ceiling.

Structure-borne sound
Sound that carries or spreads through a solid object is known as structure-borne sound is usually not perceived as sound or noise but is noticed, if at all, in the form of vibration.
It becomes audible, nevertheless, when radiated from the surfaces of the structure and thus transformed into airborne sound. As the energy loss in the transmission of structure-
borne sound through solid objects is minimal, the sound can travel over great distances. Accordingly, measures must be taken to isolate living accommodation and other occupied
rooms from structure-borne sound.

The fire resistance of an element of construction is a


measure of its ability to withstand the effects of fire in
one or more ways, as follows:

4 Resistance to collapse: i.e. the ability to maintain


load bearing capacity (which applies to load bearing
elements only);
4 Resistance to fire penetration: i.e. an ability to
maintain the integrity of the element;
4 Resistance to the transfer of excessive heat: i.e.
an ability to provide insulation from high tempera-

Extracts from ASIB

To assist in what is required for Passive Fire Protection the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) has set up guidelines for the Inspection of Passive Fire
Protection for Fire Risk Assessors. Extracts from this guide can be found below which would be relevant to the SA market as well.

5. Penetrating service in walls, ceiling and floors forming escape routes

5.1 General

If a fire separating element is to be effective, every joint or imperfection of fit, or opening to allow services to pass through the element, needs to be adequately protect-
ed by sealing or fire stopping so that the fire resistance of the element is not impaired. The provision of fire resisting walls, ceilings and floors forming escape routes
is most commonly compromised by the installation of penetrating services (pipes, cables, air handling equipment etc.) through the wall or floor. In new buildings, the
building Regulations address this by requiring the inclusion of suitable fire-stopping. However, this is often compromised by:

• Use of poor quality products. The ASFP recommend the use of third party certified products
• Poor quality/ lack of installation. The AFP recommend the use if third party certificated contractors
• Addition, removal or modification of penetrating services after the building is completed without correct reinstatement of the fire-stopping,

Because this usually occurs after the building control and handover process is complete, it is often not picked up because it is out of sight. Only a regular inspection
and maintenance regime will identify this. In some cases, it will be the fire risk assessor who will be the first person to discover and record this.

5.2.1 Cables and pipes

The assessor will need to ensure that any services penetrating walls or floors abutting escape routes are adequately sealed where they penetrate the wall or floor. He
should pay particular attention to penetration services above suspended ceilings where they might have been installed and not made good afterwards. The presence
of any through holes or gaps is not acceptable and these must be made good with appropriate tested/ certificated construction that is compatible with the existing
penetration seal.

There are a variety of proprietary materials and products used to seal penetrations including intumescent collars and wraps, fire-resisting mortars, coated mineral fibre
bats, fire-resisting pillows, etc. The fire risk assessor is not expected to be an expert in all of these, but he should be aware of the limitations of the generic material
types. The assessor should be particularly vigilant if he discovers the use of expanded foam as a penetration sealing material. Most of these are tested as narrow
linear gap seals and will not work in a large penetration seal. Further guidance is given in Annex G including guidance on PU foams.

5.2.2 Ducts and Dampers

Where air handling ducts pass through fire separating elements the integrity of those elements is maintained by using one of three basic methods:

Method 1: Protection using fire dampers


Method 2: Protection using fire resistant enclosures
Method 3: protection using fire-resisting ductwork

The assessor must understand which method has been used to undertake his risk assessment. Where air handling systems pass through fire-resisting construction on
escape routes or compartments walls and floors forming escape routes, particular attention needs to be placed on the following:

Method 1: Protection using fire dampers

A fire damper is a device which is installed at the point where the duct penetrated the compartment wall or floor. Fire dampers should be situated within the thickness
of the fire separating element and be securely fixed. The fire damper allows the ventilated air in normal conditions to pass through a duct, wall or partition. In a fire
situation it closes automatically to prevent the passage of fire for a stipulat ed time period.

5.2.3 Support for penetrating services

Penetrating services will need to be supported either side of the wall or floor to ensure that in a fire any drooping or sagging of the service does not damage the
penetration seal and thus breach fire-resisting construction. Some types of penetration seal e.g. mineral fibre batt are more susceptible to damage by collapse of the
service than others e.g. fire-resisting mortars.

6.3 External fire spread

If the building has a discrete external façade, this can provide the potential for significant spread of fire up the face of the building. Several fires resulting in fatalities
have been exacerbated by fire spread up the outside of the building, but inside the rain screen cladding. These fires can then re-enter the building e.g. via windows.
Consequently, when assessing buildings with any applied rain screen or external cladding e.g. high rise offices or blocks of flats, particular attention should be given to
any rain screen or other external cladding system that has been applied to any facade that have been replaced.

It is unlikely that the fire risk assessor will be able to inspect this himself. Consequently, he should look at the recorded of the installation of the system provided by the
installer. If he is in any doubt, he may require the assistance of a specialist third party inspection organisation to determine whether there is adequate provision of rain
screen cavity barriers.

Annex G: Fire-stopping and penetration seals

Mechanical and electrical services, by necessity, breach fire-resisting construction on escape routes and compartment walls and floors will allow the passage of smoke
and flame if not adequately fire-stopped. There is a wide range of products that are designed for use as fire-stopping and penetration seals. These include products
based upon mineral wool; high and low pressure intumescents, mortars, pillows filled with fire-resisting materials, plugs and blocks, elastomers, putties, foams and
mastics.

Evaluation of the fire resistance of fire-stopping and penetration seals has traditionally been undertaken by using ad-hoc procedures based on BS 476: Part22:1987 as
there was no dedicated British Standard for these. Increasingly, manufacturers are using the European standard EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and EN 1366-4 for
linear gap seals. The European standards are more rigorous and contain a wealth of guidance on how to test these products.

The crucial issues for fire-stopping are poor installation and/ or the breaching of fire-resisting construction on escape routes and fire compartmentation after installation
and handover. Unlike e.g. a fire door where any defective remedial work will normally be readily apparent and easily inspected, defects in fire-stopping and penetration
sealing often remain out of sight and consequently out of mind. The fire risk assessor in checking for the presence and condition of penetration seals in walls forming
escape routes will be able to at least perform a “first aid” check on service penetrations. However, to evaluated the condition of fire-stopping, inspection another than
in areas that are readily accessible, is unlikely to be an option and/ or too invasive.

The best solution for ensuring that fire-stopping is installed properly is to use third party certified contractors. These are required to use trained staff, whose compe-
tence has been evaluated and whose records are subject to audit by the certification body and whose work is subject to random inspection by qualified inspectors.
However, if in the course of his “first-aid” inspection if fire-stopping, the assessor discovers significant failings, he should ask for an appropriate survey from an inde-
pendent third party inspection organisation.
