For example, building materials are considered combustible if they arecapable of undergoing combustion in air at pressures and temperatures that might occur durin

Similarly, some materials that arenot combustible under such conditions may be combustible when exposed to higher temperatures and pressures or to an oxygen-enriched environment.Materials that are not combustible in bulk form may be combustible in finely divided form.

However, the common usage of the term combustion products in ASTM E05 standards is only for those which have mass. (200

Typically, the specified fire test conditions are provided by the specifications of the firetest standard that cites effective heat of combustion as a quantity to be measured. For certain fire test conditions, involving very high heat and highoxygen concentrations under high pressure, the
