Title
Standard Test Methods for Detention Hinges Used on Detention-Grade Swinging Doors
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2005
Scope:
These test methods cover the apparatus, procedures, and acceptance
conditions for evaluating the
normal operating performance characteristics and the performance
characteristics under assault
conditions of hinges used in swinging door assemblies in detention and
correctional institutions.
These types of hinges are described in detail in 3.1.6, 3.1.9, and
3.1.22. Thus, these test methods
only give an indication of the performance characteristics of hinges
in actual service. Such
variables as installation and maintenance conditions which have a
potential impact on performance
characteristics are not considered.
It is the intent of these test methods to help ensure that detention
hinges (reference to hinges is
inclusive of a continuous hinge) perform at or above minimum
acceptable levels to confine inmates,
to delay and frustrate escape attempts, and to resist vandalism and
assault conditions. It is
recognized that in order to meet the intent of these test methods,
door, frame and lock assemblies
must be compatible with the level of performance required by Test
Methods F 1450 and F 1577.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values in parentheses
are for information only.
Consult NFPA 80 for Fire Doors & Windows concerning hinge
requirements on fire doors.
