General information
Labeling
After cutting, each panel of PYRAN® Platinum fire-rated glass-ceramic should be permanently labeled according to local building code requirements with product and manufacturer’s name, UL certification mark, fire rating, etc.
Storage and handling
PYRAN® Platinum fire-rated glass-ceramic should be handled with care during transportation, storage, inspection, and installation. It should be stored in dry conditions and needs to be stacked upright or at a slight angle. In addition, the panels must be separated by an appropriate material, such as soft pads made of cork, while the bottom edge must be supported along its entire length.
Installation
PYRAN® Platinum should only be installed into fire-rated frame and window assemblies carrying the same rating. Each PYRAN® Platinum panel should be inspected carefully before installation, and any pieces with visible edge or surface damage should be rejected. All glazing components and the stop height must be chosen according to the PYRAN® Platinum UL classification. The panel must be placed on calcium silicate or hardwood setting blocks and glazed using PYRAN® Platinum classified glazing tape, such as closed cell PVC, Fiberfrax tape or Pemko FG3000S90. The installation of the framed unit must comply with the frame supplier's instructions.
PYRAN® Platinum is a specially developed glass-ceramic that fulfills the fire protection rating requirements. The production process may create certain optical imperfections such as bubbles or knots. Since these do not generally impair the transparency or the technical performance of the glass-ceramic, they do not represent cause for rejection or replacement.
Maintenance and care
To maintain the esthetics, it is important to keep the panel clean. A soft, clean, non-abrasive cloth and a mild soap, detergent, or non-abrasive window cleaning solution is suitable for cleaning. After cleaning, rinse immediately with clean water and remove any excess water from the panel surface. Also, do not allow any metal or hard parts of the cleaning equipment to come into contact with the panel surface.
Tests
Fire Endurance test
The Fire Endurance test subjects a full-size window or door assembly to a controlled time-temperature profile in a furnace. The test duration is between 20 minutes and three hours depending on the desired rating, with temperatures reaching nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in three hours. The window assembly, including frame, glazing and components, must not allow flames on the non-fire side, and the glazing must survive the test without breaking or cracking.
Applicable for SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum, SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum F, and SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum L.
Hose stream test
Immediately following the Fire Endurance test, the fire-exposed side of the test assembly is subject to impact from water blast in a prescribed pattern for a duration appropriate to the specimen size. The glazing must remain intact in the frame.
Applicable for SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum, SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum F, and SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum L.
Impact test
In installations where accidental human impact could occur, fire-rated glazing must also withstand impact tests. The impact test uses a 100 lb weight swung from a pendulum at a 48-inch drop height. The glazing must remain intact with no significant openings.
Applicable for SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum F, and SCHOTT PYRAN® Platinum L.
