As a part of the testing and evaluation activities in Operation Breakthrough, a standard fire test conforming to ASTM E 119 was performed at the National Bureau of Standards on a wall assembly where half represented a nonbearing single exterior wall, as found in single family detached housing, and the other half represented a nonbearing double wall assembly for an interdwelling separation which would occur at the interface of two parallel adjacent modules. Each wall contained a layer of gypsum board as an interior (room) surface and a layer of plywood as an exterior surface, and was framed with nominal 2 x 4 in. wood studs on 16 in. centers. No structural load was applied during the test. (Modified author abstract)
