Abstract
This report describes the results of the second phase of a study to develop a field test method for assessing the friability of spray applied fireproofing and thermal insulating materials. Phase 2 is the laboratory evaluation of the prototype devices for conducting surface and bulk compression/shear, indentation, abrasion, and impact tests. These tests were performed on specially prepared fireproofing materials, produced to have a range of firabilities. Differences in response of the test samples to dislodgment or indentation were observed in the tests.
