Set up field inspection of a thin-film intumescent fireproofing application per AWCI Technical Manual 12-B

Steps

1. Confirm the current edition (AWCI Technical Manual 12-B, Third Edition, 'Standard Practice for the Testing and Inspection of Field Applied Thin-Film Intumescent Fire-Resistive Materials') via AWCI's own publications catalog before citing an edition in a spec reference
2. Confirm the specific fire-resistance assembly being reproduced references the correct UL or other accredited listing (e.g., UL 263/ASTM E119 assembly) — the intumescent DFT requirement is assembly-specific, not a single blanket number
3. Apply AWCI 12-B's measurement-location pattern by member type (e.g., beams measured at multiple locations around each end of a 12-inch length; tube/pipe columns at a different minimum location count) rather than an ad hoc spot-check pattern
4. Use a DFT gauge appropriate for intumescent (often thicker, less magnetically simple) coatings rather than assuming a standard structural-steel DFT gauge setup transfers directly
5. Document per-member DFT compliance against the listed assembly's required thickness and file inspection records referencing both AWCI 12-B and the specific UL/other listing number used
