Designation:E1513/E1513M93(Reapproved 2015)1Standard Practice forApplication of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials(SFRMs)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1513/E1513M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEDesignation was changed to dual and units information was corrected editorially in August 2015.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers guidelines for application ofsprayed fiber and cementitious fire-resistive materials.1.2 This practice is general in nature.It is not intended tocover all requirements for application.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in Section 10 and 14.1.2.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E119 Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Constructionand MaterialsE605/E605M Test Methods for Thickness and Density ofSprayed Fire-Resistive Material(SFRM)Applied toStructural MembersE631 Terminology of Building ConstructionsE736 Test Method for Cohesion/Adhesion of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials Applied to Structural MembersE759/E759M Test Method for Effect of Deflection onSprayed Fire-Resistive Material Applied to StructuralMembersE760/E760M Test Method for Effect of Impact on Bondingof Sprayed Fire-Resistive Material Applied to StructuralMembersE1368 Practice for Visual Inspection of Asbestos AbatementProjects3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Many items in this practice are defined in TerminologyE631.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 application,nan act of applying sprayed fire-resistive materials.3.2.2 sprayed cementitious material,nconsisting of one ormore binders,aggregates,and fibers,the material is mixed withwater to form a slurry and is conveyed through a hose to anozzle where compressed air is typically used to disperse thematerial into a spray pattern and directed to the substraterequiring protection.3.2.3 sprayed fire-resistive materials(SFRM),nmaterialsthat are sprayed onto substrates to provide fire-resistive pro-tection of the substrates.3.2.4 sprayed mineral fiber material,nconsisting of oneor more binders,fibers,and aggregates,the material is con-veyed by low pressure air through a hose to a nozzle where itis mixed with atomized water and directed to the substraterequiring protection.4.Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes the procedures for selecting,specifying,applying,and testing SFRM.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended for use by the materialspecifier,general contractor,applicator,or any individualgroup requiring information regarding the application ofSFRM.5.2 This practice is not intended to replace the manufactur-ers application instructions.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Perfor-mance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.21 onServiceability.Current edition approved Aug.1,2015.Published August 2015.Originallyapproved in 1993.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as E1513 93(2011).DOI:10.1520/E1513_E1513M-93R15E01.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 6.Materials6.1 The SFRM shall be either sprayed fiber or cementitioustypes.The material shall be manufactured in accordance withthe manufacturers specifications and quality control proce-dures.The material shall be free of any contamination thatcould impair its performance.7.Storage and Handling7.1 All materials shall be delivered to the job site in clearlylabeled,unopened bags.Labels shall include the manufacturer,product name,surface burning characteristics of the product,and list of appropriate fire resistance classified assemblies inwhich the product is a component.7.2 Materials with a shelf life shall be used within thatperiod.Materials that have gone beyond their shelf life shall beremoved from the job site,or manufacturer shall providedocumentation attesting that the product is still usable for itsoriginal intended purpose.7.3 Materials shall be
