Designation:F175805(Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Methods forDetention Hinges Used on Detention-Grade SwingingDoors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1758;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover the apparatus,procedures,andacceptance conditions for evaluating the normal operatingperformance characteristics and the performance characteris-tics under assault conditions of hinges used in swinging doorassemblies in detention and correctional institutions.Thesetypes of hinges are described in detail in 3.1.6,3.1.9,and3.1.22.Thus,these test methods only give an indication of theperformance characteristics of hinges in actual service.Suchvariables as installation and maintenance conditions whichhave a potential impact on performance characteristics are notconsidered.1.2 It is the intent of these test methods to help ensure thatdetention hinges(reference to hinges is inclusive of a continu-ous hinge)perform at or above minimum acceptable levels toconfine inmates,to delay and frustrate escape attempts,and toresist vandalism and assault conditions.It is recognized that inorder to meet the intent of these test methods,door,frame andlock assemblies must be compatible with the level of perfor-mance required by Test Methods F1450 and F1577.1.3 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.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The values in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 Consult NFPA80 for Fire Doors&Windows concerninghinge requirements on fire doors.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2F1450 Test Methods for Hollow Metal Swinging DoorAssemblies for Detention and Correctional FacilitiesF1577 Test Methods for Detention Locks for SwingingDoorsF1592 Test Methods for Detention Hollow Metal VisionSystemsF1643 Test Methods for Detention Sliding Door LockingDevice AssemblyF1915 Test Methods for Glazing for Detention Facilities2.2 NFPA Standard:3NFPA 80 Fire Doors and Fire Windows2.3 ANSI Standards:4ANSI/BHMA A156.1 Standard for Butts and HingesANSI/NAAMM/HMMA 863 Guide Specifications for De-tention Security Hollow Metal Doors and Frames2.4 UL Standard:5UL-752 Bullet Resisting Equipment3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 assault condition,adjperformance characteristicsassociated with an attack from battering devices,and overloadconditions.3.1.2 bearings,nfriction reducing material or mechanismbetween the moving parts of a hinge.The coefficient of frictioncan be sliding or rolling.1These test methods are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F33 onDetention and Correctional Facilitiesand are the direct responsibility of Subcom-mittee F33.04 on Detention Hardware.Current edition approved June 1,2012.Published August 2012.Originallyapproved in 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as F1758 05.DOI:10.1520/F1758-05R12.2For 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.3Available from National Fire Protection Association(NFPA),1 BatterymarchPark,Quincy,MA 02269-9101.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036.5Available from Underwriters Laboratories(UL),Corporate Progress,333Pfingsten Rd.,Northbrook,IL 60062.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.2.1 DiscussionThe coefficient of friction is of thesliding or rolling type.3.1.3 clearances,nvertical and lateral play in a hingeprior to the start of the cycle test.3.1.4 cycle,nrotation of the test door from the closedposition(1 to 5)to the open position(90 6 5)and back to theclosed position again.3.1.5 component,nsubassembly,as distinguished from apart,that combines with other components to make up a doorassembly.3.1.5.1 DiscussionThe prime components of a door as-sembly include:door,door frame(includes hinge jamb,header,and strike jamb),hinges,and locking hardware.3.1.6 detention hinge,adjhinge having and complyingwith one or more security grades 1 to 4 as shown in Table 1.3.1.6.1 DiscussionThese hinges shall be constructed witha maximum security pin.They shall be permitted to bemounted in any of the styles described in 3.1.11 3.1.14.Alternate designs are acceptable,including the illustrationsprovided in ANSI 156.1,providing they meet the performancecharacteristics of these test methods.3.1
