1. Rationale
This is a new section to be added to ASTM E119. This section describes how to measure the pressure differential between the inside the furnace and the laboratory atmosphere during the fire resistance tests. It also requires that the position of the neutral plane in the furnace during the fire test be calculated and reported.
