Abstract
The fire-resistance testing has its long history. The early attempt of fire testing was based on exposure of the buildings assembles on fire. It was generally large-scale fire conditions in which full-size buildings elements were burned and evaluated. One of the first furnace tests is credited to T. Hyatt. He conducted tests in a wood-fired furnace, over which a specimen was tested. The test specimen represented sections of a floor slab. The section was loaded with a mass 1500 kg/m2 for testing its bearing behavior. Then after 10 h, a hose stream test was conducted. Hyatt was unable to measure and control the temperature of furnace. However, with using the immersion calorimetry the results were surprisingly repeatable in obtaining the iron temperature.
