They want to blow up a safe?
With these tests for your home fireproof safe, it could explode. In this article you will learn how to make a fireproof home safe, to determine whether the standards for fire rating meets the Underwriters Laboratories test. Please note that I use the term interchangeably with refractory fire-resistant, technically they are not interchangeable. Council also did not really try this in your own four walls. It 'too expensive anddangerous.
Materials needed
1 You need a minimum of two identical safes fireproof home. You need third fireproof home safe, if you want to test the explosion.
2 Select a number of documents that can be used for a test. Make sure that you save something, but can not use blank paper or do not know whether or not legible. I have seen with my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. I've used for years. When there is a safe media,then you might want some CDs that you got for Christmas and can not stand it. Try a flash drive and USB flash drives too.
3 Do you need an oven big enough to ensure focus times. If you have watched MacGyver and A-Team, I'm sure you can improvise. Otherwise, check a furnace room.
4 Get some protection devices. Pot is not good to open a safe that has been heated to 2,000 ° C.
5 In some way you have some thermometers and recording devices, which areLet them know the internal temperature in the fireproof safe. I do not think that makes a weather station Oregon only if you try to UL 125 rating. It must also measure humidity.
6 It is also necessary to measure the temperature outside the safe. Good luck to find a good thermometer that goes up to 2,000 degrees.
7 Oh, I almost forgot. Maybe you need a small crane to hoist your home fireproof safe 30 feet in the air while still hot. A quickRelease will also be necessary for the drop test.
8 At the lower end of the test you need a pile of bricks on a concrete slab.
Ratings
Assuming you have installed in a location more than all the material, might be good to find out what the different classifications UL and criteria that determine a successful test. Each of the assessments can be used in a safe place, but it is useless if you want to meet the time standard of safety.
UL 350 - The safemust maintain the internal temperature below 350 degrees Fahrenheit. The burn is less than the normal temperature for most paper products, char, or become unusable.
UL 150 is the rating for tapes, cassettes, microfiche and microfilm. In addition to keeping the interior at or below 150 degrees, humidity below 85%.
UL 125 is the standard for floppy disks. In this case, the temperature does not exceed 125 ° F and 80% humidity. I have a feeling that this is a little 'outside the normDate, because most people do not save more disks.
Heat test
The first test is to see if your home fireproof safe, the contents of the deadline will be protected. You must start at room temperature and humidity. Enter your test materials securely and drag it into your oven.
Preheat the oven to the following temperatures (all Fahrenheit) for the test to be carried out then put the safe in the oven. Be careful when Shadrach, Meshach, andAbed heated in an oven has been thrown, the boys assigned to the task have been killed by heat.
or 1550 for half the nominal 'now safe
1700 or 1 hour rated safe
1850 for 2 hours or nominal security
1920 for 3 hours, or rated for sure
2,000 for 4 hours, or rated for sure
Let your home fireproof safe in the oven for ½ to 4 hours. Here comes the fun part. Do not remove the safe after the indicated time, just turn on the heat and let cool inthe oven. If you have a really good stove, as those were the guys from UL, which up to 68 hours.
You must take the internal temperature during heating and cooling. If he goes on the assessment that failed to fireproof home safe test. If it is cool enough to open, you need to check the test content to ensure that they are still good.
Shock test
I think the evidence of heat was a bit 'boring. The impact resistance is much more fun andnot last long. For this test, you have your second home fireproof safe. Start the same as before, but the times and temperatures will be lower in the oven.
or rated for 20 minutes at 1460 degrees for half an 'now safe
or nominal 30 minutes at 1550 degrees for about 1 hour safe
Rated to 1640, or 45 minutes to 2 hours of safety
or 60 minutes at 1700 for a 3 or 4 hours Rated Safes
This part sounds like a TV show. Now you have 2 minutes to ensure themselves fromOven, lift it 30 feet into the air and drop it into your pile of rocks. If you can see inside through cracks or port, fell from a fireproof safe and the second test. However, even if it looks ok, you're not ready.
Turn your head warm and safe again. This time, you can remove from oven and let cool. Open to investigate the safe and its contents. If all goes well, no damage due to moisture, is almost finished.
Explosion test
If you'm a fan of Mythbusters on TV, so the potential that the most fun. If you have only bought two safes, then you must do so before the test is not the case.
Start with an empty house in a safe fireproof. Heated to 2,000 degrees, you open it, and so the test documents, CDs or other materials very quickly. Slam the door and keep the outside at 2,000 degrees for 30 minutes. If your not sure you blow up is almost done. Once cooled to ensure there is sufficientYou can manage, you open your home fireproof safe and make sure that you, your documents are still ok.
Congratulations, you just proved that your house is fireproof safe, in fact, difficult to light.
Mythbusters Test
Do you want none of your boxes are no longer so this is good for those who see things from blowing up. Get a stick of dynamite and ... No, I'm not going. Some might accuse me of danger to persons.
