« Hose Stream » Test

Exposed to 30 psi water jet following fire tests

Immediately following the "Fire Test", the tested assembly must experience and endure the pressure caused by a high intensity water jet.

The jet is propelled a distance of 20 ft with a pressure of 30 psi.

 

TGP-fireRated-logo-impactRated-filled

Impact Resistant

CAN/CGSB-12.1-M90 certified to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an impact

This standard applies to processed glass which has been tempered, laminated, or otherwise processed to reduce the risk of injury on impact.

  • Certified CAN/CGSB-12.1-M90 (Cat I et Cat II)
  • CPSC 16CFR 1201-CAT II
  • CAN/ONGC 12.1-M
TGP-fireRated-logo-positivePressure-filled

Positive Pressure Tested

Meets UL 10C standards

As heat develops within the source area, pressure within the enclosed room begins to build relative to the pressure outside.

Once the fire reaches equilibrium in the positive pressure zone, smoke, hot gases and flames are forced through any openings in the door or window assembly.

Testing to the UL 10C standard more closely simulates real fire conditions.
