AMSEC UL2018 UL Two Hour Fire & Impact Safe

U.L. Fire Resistive Rating Classification

The following is an explanation of the Underwriter's Laboratories' fire resistant container testing procedures on the Class 350F, one hour and Class 350F two hour Fire Labels.

U.L. Label/Class 350F-one hour and Class 350F-two hour. The safe will maintain an interior temperature less than 350F when exposed to fire for a period of one hour at 1700F or for a period of two hours at 1850F. Safe must successfully undergo all other requirements for the Fire Endurance Test, Explosion Hazard Test and the Fire/Impact Test as stated below.

Fire Endurance Test

After heat sensors and paper are placed inside the safe, the unit is locked and exposed to a uniformly distributed fire. The furnace is regulated to reach a maximum temperature of 1700F for a period of one hour, or 1850F for two hours, then allowed to cool without opening the furnace. The interior temperature is recorded throughout the test and during the cooling period until a definite drop is shown and must never exceed 350F. Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanisms and parts fastenings are examined for security and the interior examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission

Explosion Hazard Test

The safe is locked and placed into a furnace preheated to 2000F. This temperature is maintained for 30 minutes (2 hour test is 45 minutes) and if no explosion results, the unit is allowed to cool without opening the furnace doors. Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanisms and parts fastenings are examined for security and the interior examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission.

Fire Impact Test (Manufacturer's Option)

After the explosion hazard test the safe is removed from the furnace and within two minutes is dropped 30' onto a riprap of brick on a heavy concrete base. After impact the unit is examined for deformation, rupture of parts, damaged insulation and any other openings into the interior of the unit. Once cooled, the unit is inverted and reheated to 1550F for a period of 30 min. (2 hour test: 45 min. at 1638F). Once cooled, the unit is opened and examined for usability. The units locking mechanisms and parts fastenings are examined for security and the interior examined for visible evidence of undue heat transmission.

If superior fire protection is important to you and your family, the AMSEC line of UL Model safes is something for you to look at. A U.L. 2 hr fire rating is far superior than most other fire labels. Check out the information below:

Fire Protection is paramount in the AMSEC 2 hr Fire Safe Model UL2018. It carries a U.L. 2 Hour Class 350 with Impact Rating. This means the safe withstands 1850 degree external temperature for two solid hours while the inside temperature does not extent beyond 350 degrees. This is a very severe test and is followed up on by U.L. often. The Impact rating means the safe is heated for 30 minutes at 1500 degrees and then dropped two stories (30') to insure it integrity. This is a Fire Test!
