of the same batch of material as the spray coats.
The application of MK was made on July 9, 1965 inside a steel building at daytime room temperature of 88 F. The panel
was left in place to cure until September 9, 1965. The dry weight of the cured Monokote (MK) was determined
and found to be 24.0 pounds per cubic foot. Deflection Test of Specimen
Uniform loads were applied to the panel by means of pre weighed iron pigs weighing 20 pounds each. Loads were applied
in increments as shown below. Deflection was measured at the center of the panel with a Micro-Dial reading to 0.001 inches.
The dial was secured to a reference bar supported independently of the rest of the assembly. Each load increment was allowed to remain in place until there was no further movement of the
dial. The deflections were then recorded and the next increment
applied. Loading was continued u: til deflection greater than
1.2 inches was obtained 1 After the deflection reached 0.5 inch
the panel was examined with a magnifying glass for cracks ar.d.

Abstract
The test was performed on Type MX Fireproofing Composition
Manufactured by zonolite Division of w. R. Grace & Company,
at Travelers Rest, South Carolina. The composition had been .
applied by Field Type Equipment and Methods to a 2i0' x 12.0'
section of H. H. Robertson Steel Deck, 18/16 ga. RX, at a
thickness of 0.75 inch. After normal curing the section was :
uniformly loaded as hereinafter described until deflection .
greater than one-one-hundred twentieth (1/120) of the span or 1
1.2 inches, was obtained, without occurrence of cracking*, .
flaking, or delamination.
Applicable Specifications
>-.
. * *
The test was performed in accordance with the Government
Services Administration, Washington, p. C., Specifications*
65-17206, Page 29-2, Title "Deflection." The specification-., f' V
reads as follows: "Deflection: Material shall not crack oiT
delaminate when the backing to which applied is subjected to .. v "
downward deflection of 1/120 of the span."
Preparation of Test Specimen
A single panel of H. H. Robertson section RX Steel Deck
\* 18 ga/16 ga., 2.0 feet wide by 14:0 feet long was suspended
2.5 feet above the floor on firm supports with a clear span of
12.0 feet. T>o bags of dry MX were mixed with water at the rato
of 11.0 gallons per bag. Mixing was done in a conventional
I

6-S Mortar Mixer for a period of three to five minutes after
which the mixed material was placed in the hopper of a STEDX-
FLO TRICQATER piston type plaster pump, and was then sprayed
onto the underside of the test panel at the rate of 1.0 cubic
foot per minute. Spraying was done in two applications of
approximately 3/8" each/ both courses' following the contour of
the steel. There was a lapse of time between courses of about
2.5 hours. Slight smoothing by trowel was necessary after
*
spraying. Specimens were also made for tests for density out
of the same batch of material as the spray coats.
The application of MK was made on July 9, 1965 inside a .
steel building at daytime room temperature of 68 F. The panel
was left in place to cure until September 9, 1965.
The dry weight of the cured Monokote (MK) was determined
and found to be 24.0 pounds per cubic foot. Deflection Test of Specimen
' *' S* *
Uniform loads were applied to the panel by means of pre-,
weighed iron pigs weighing 20 poundB each. Loads were applied
in increments as shown below. Deflection was measured at the
center of the panel with a Micro-Dial reading to-0.001 inches'.'
The dial was secured to a reference bar supported independently
of the rest of the assembly. Each load increment was allowed
.to remain in place until there was no further movement of the
dial. The deflections were then recorded and the next increment

applied. Loading was continued until deflection greater than
1.2 inches was obtained. After the deflection reached 0.5 inch
the panel was examined with a magnifying glass for cracks and
delamination after each increment until the test waa complete.
The load waa then removed and observation for recovery made.
No trace either of delamination or cracking could be '
found during loading or after full deflection had been reached. - j." The load deflection results as tabulated below were also
