November 7, 2005—BlazeMaster CPVC Fire Sprinkler Systems has completed testing that proves both its CPVC pipe and fitting compounds each meet a new higher cell class—levels never previously achieved by a CPVC compound, says the company.
The higher cell classification of 24447 (as defined by ASTM D 1784) means that the BlazeMaster CPVC fitting compound offers the highest impact resistance of any non-metallic material in the fire sprinkler industry, says BlazeMaster. It also means that BlazeMaster CPVC pipe compound offers unprecedented tensile strength.
BlazeMaster pipe and fitting compounds have been designed to consistently exceed the minimum physical property performance requirements as compared to other CPVC fire sprinkler materials.
With this higher impact strength, professionals in fire protection and building trades can confidently install durable BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems in a variety of applications, including high-rise residential, healthcare, office, rehabilitation and hotel/motel facilities, in addition to traditional, single or multi-family homes, the company says. The higher impact strength allows the fittings to be installed on the construction site with fewer fractures, breaks and ultimately, a lower scrap rate.
