EN 1191 Fire Door Resistance to Repeated Opening and Closing Test Device

EN 1191 Fire Door Resistance to Repeated Opening and Closing Test Device

Introduction: 

The fire door opening and closing reliability test device is designed according to the EN 1191 Windows and doors - Resistance to repeated opening and closing - Test method standard, and is intended to evaluate the mechanical durability and functional reliability of fire doors and their hardware in repeated opening and closing operations. The device has a wide range of test coverage, covering single-leaf, double-leaf, windowed and special-function fire doors, and is suitable for doors and related hardware (such as hinges, door closers, locks) made of various materials such as steel, wood, and aluminum alloy. By simulating 10,000 to 200,000 opening and closing cycles (adjusted according to the door's usage category), the test device verifies whether the door can still maintain structural integrity and smooth operation after long-term use, ensuring its reliable performance in fire or other emergency scenarios. The test method of EN 1191 is highly related to the opening and closing reliability test requirements of GB 12955-2008, providing technical support for the certification and application of fire doors in the international market, and reflecting its applicability in the field of global building safety.

Scope of application:

1. Single-leaf fire door: including single-leaf fire doors made of steel, wood, steel-wood composite or other materials, to test the durability and functional integrity of its door leaf and hardware (such as hinges, door closers) after repeated opening and closing.

2. Double-leaf fire door: including biparting or asymmetric double-leaf fire door, to test the coordination and durability of the two doors and their hardware such as door closers and sequencers.

3. Fire door with fire window: test fire door with observation window to ensure that the door leaf and window can still maintain sealing and fire resistance after repeated opening and closing.

4. Special function fire doors: such as fire doors with escape push rods, electric control or automatic door closing devices, test the reliability of their special hardware after multiple opening and closing.

5. Fire door hardware: including hinges, door closers, locks, sequencers, etc., individually or as part of the door system, test their mechanical properties under repeated operations.

6. Fire doors with different fire resistance levels: such as Class A (1.5 hours), Class B (1.0 hours), Class C (0.5 hours) fire doors, test their opening and closing reliability under different fire resistance requirements.

Main technical parameters：

1 The equipment includes an adjustable frame, a crank, a connecting rod and a power mechanism. The door leaf is installed on the adjustable frame. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the door leaf and the other end is connected to the crank. The bottom of the crank is fixed to a relatively static fixed object on the ground, and the crank is connected to the power mechanism;

2 Test frame: It is an adjustable frame, suitable for installing waterproof doors of different specifications and sizes, with sufficient rigidity to prevent deformation that affects the test results during the test. The net size of the fixture is 2500mm wide * 2800mm high (width and height can be adjusted);

3 Operation cycle: 8s-14s;

4 Opening angle: 50-90 degrees adjustable;

5 Opening times: 0-99999 times adjustable;

6 Test rack size: L3106mm*W1600mm*H2950mm

7 Control box size: L380mm*W332mm*H875mm

8 Power supply: AC220V

9 Power: 320W
