As part of the evaluation of a housing system proposed under Operation Breakthrough, a standard fire endurance test was conducted at the National Bureau of Standards on a panelized exterior sandwich wall system for single-family two-story detached housing. In this test, the exterior face was fire-exposed to simulate an outside incidental fire. The exterior (fire exposed) face consisted of 1/8 in. cement asbestos board with stone aggregate set in an epoxy matrix. The interior face consisted of 5/16 in. plywood covered with 5/8 in. Type X gypsum board. The 3 in. core consisted of rigid polyurethane foamed in place. Individual 4 ft. x 8 ft. panels were framed with aluminum perimeter surrounds. (Author Modified Abstract)
