  2. Apart from the underground sections, which will use water mist steel super-grade fire-rated roller shutters with a fire resistance limit of >3 hours, the rest of the project will employ dual-track inorganic fabric-based super-grade fire-rated roller shutters with a fire resistance limit of >3 hours (based on the temperature rise on the unexposed side as the fire resistance criterion).
  3. Super-grade fire-rated roller shutters installed on firewalls must close in one step to fully shut. Those installed in evacuation passages must have two-step closing functionality.
  4. The placement of fire-rated roller shutters is detailed in the floor plan. They should be installed on the building’s load-bearing structure and ensure smooth opening. If the top of the shutter does not reach the ceiling, the space above should be sealed with fire-resistant materials with a fire resistance limit of ≥3 hours.
  5. Compliance with the “Quality Acceptance Specification for Building Decoration and Renovation Engineering” GB50201—2001 is required.

They should be able to operate independently and be automatically controlled by the fire center, including automatic opening, closing, and two-step descent functions.
  2. The dual-track inorganic fabric-based super-grade fire-rated roller shutters use a single electric motor to drive dual transmission shafts, allowing synchronized raising and lowering of the shutters. When the temperature around the temperature control release device’s sensing element reaches 73°C, the device activates, and the shutter closes by its own weight.
  3. The dual-track inorganic fabric-based super-grade fire-rated roller shutters consist of double-layered fire shutters made from inorganic fabric (with an air gap of 200~500mm between layers, enhancing the fire and heat insulation performance to meet the fire resistance requirements of GB9978—99 equivalent to a firewall), with steel materials used for guides, seat plates, clamps, lintels, and casings, along with a door machine and control box to meet requirements for fire integrity, insulation, and smoke protection. It is emphasized that the guide rail center distance for the super-grade fire-rated roller shutters specified in this tender is 200mm.

Along the latitude direction of the curtain cloth, high-temperature resistant stainless steel wires or ropes (40mm×3mm) are placed at certain intervals (less than 1500) to bear the self-weight of the curtain surface. Clamps are installed along the longitude direction to ensure the overall strength of the curtain surface, using galvanized flat steel 40mm×3mm, with a spacing of 300-500mm, and the curtain surface weight ≤3.5kg/m². Besides clamps, wind hooks should also be installed at both ends of the curtain surface. The composite curtain surface should not be directly connected to the roller shaft but should be connected through fasteners.
    4.1 The number of seams per meter in the curtain surface should not exceed 3 for each layer, and seams should avoid overlapping. The load-bearing seams should use double-line sewing, with an overlap of no less than 20mm; non-load-bearing seams can use single-line sewing, with an overlap of no less than 10mm.
    4.2 The decorative cloth or base cloth of the curtain surface should not become brittle at -20°C and should maintain a certain elasticity, and should not stick at +50°C.
    4.3 The normal temperature tensile strength of the curtain surface should not be less than 600N/5cm in the longitudinal direction and not less than 300N/5cm in the transverse direction.
    4.4 The combustion performance of the curtain surface decorative cloth should meet the requirements of GB8624-1997B1 level, and the base cloth should meet the requirements of GB8624-1997A level.
  5. The guide rails use 1.5mm thick galvanized steel strip, the roller shaft uses welded steel pipe or seamless steel pipe, and the casing uses an angle steel or square steel pipe riveted welding structure frame, enclosed with ≥0.8mm galvanized steel plate, and the seat plate thickness ≥3mm.
  6. The raw materials used for the dual-track inorganic fabric-based super-grade fire-rated roller shutters must comply with health and environmental regulations and not use materials explicitly banned by the state.
