10、e 3 prEN 3844-1 : 1995 I Scope This standard specifies the test method for the determination of the vertical flame propagation and after flame time of non metallic materials. This test method is also used for testing non metallic materials which have to meet the test criteria for the vertical Bunsen

11、 burner test : - with a flame application time of 60 s ; - with a flame application time of 12 s ; It is used for evaluation of non metallic materials or constructions used in the interiors of aerospace vehicles but may be used in other applications as specified in applicable procurement and regulat

12、ory documents. This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of non metallic materials, products or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products

13、, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use. 2 Normative references This European Standard inco

For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this Euro

ASTM-D 5025 “A laboratory burner used for small-scale burning test on plastic materials“ 1) 3 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the foll

16、owing definitions apply : Time of flame application : Time of flame application is the length of time for which the burner flame is applied to the specimen. After flame time : After flame time is the time in seconds for which the specimen continues to flame after the burner flame has been removed fr

17、om the specimen. After flame time of drips : After flame time of drips is the time in seconds that any flaming material continues to flame after falling from the specimen to the bottom of the chamber. Burn length : Burn length is the distance in millimetres from the original specimen edge to the far

18、thest evidence of damage of the test specimen due to that areas combustion, including areas of partial consumption, charring, or embrittlement, but not including, areas sooted, stained, warped or discolored, nor areas where material has shrunk or melted away from the heat. 4 Principle of method Test

19、ing is performed on a specimen that is held vertical. A burner flame, having defined parameters, is applied to the specimen for a defined period of time. The after flame time and the burn length is measured. The occurrence of drips and their after flame time is measured. 1) Published by : American S

22、 6.1 Test cabinet Tests shall be conducted in a draft-free cabinet, like shown in figure 1. Details and dimensions of the test cabinet are given in figure 2. 1 mm thick metal sheet shall be used for the bottom surface of the cabinet. It is recommended to paint the entire inside back wall of the cabi

23、net mat black to facilitate the viewing of the test specimen. A mirror may be located on the inside back surface to facilitate observation of the hidden surface. It is suggested that the cabinet be located inside an exhaust hood to facilitate clearing the cabinet of smoke and fumes after each test.

24、Cabinets of bigger dimensions may be used if it has been proven that similar results are obtained. 6.2 Specimen holder A specimen holder shall be provided, such that the exposed area of the specimen is 50 mm x 305 mm. An example for a construction is given in figure 3. The specimen holder shall be f

25、abricated of corrosion-resistant metal. A comb can be used for testing of small items, which cannot be mounted in the specimen holder, see figure 4. 6.3 Burner 6.3.1 Burner type The burner shall be a Bunsen or Tirril type, have a 9,5 mm inside diameter barrel, and shall be equipped with a needle val

26、ve to adjust the gas flow rate and thereby adjust the flame height. The burner shall have no air supplied either directly or by aspiration. The Bunsen burner defined in ASTM-D 5025 has been found acceptable. Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided by IHS un

Natural gas is also acceptable if it contains

28、more than 90 % methane. 6.3.3 Plumbing for gas supply The necessary gas connections and the applicable plumbing are shown in figure 5. A control valve system with a delivery rate designed to furnish gas to the burner under a pressure of at least 5 kPa at the burner inlet shall be installed between t

29、he gas supply and the burner. 6.3.4 Flame height indicator There shall be a flame height indicator spaced 25 mm from the burner barrel and extending above the burner, as shown in figure 6. The indicator shall have two prongs, 8 mm in length, marking the distances, 22 mm and 38 mm above the top of th

30、e burner. When the flame is properly adjusted, then the tip of the flame shall be at the 38 mm prong and for pure methane the tip of the inner cone of the flame will be at the 22 mm prong. The flame height indicator shall be removable. 6.4 Timer One or more stop-watches or other timers, calibrated a

31、nd graduated to the nearest 0,l s, shall be used to measure the time of the flame application, the after flame time and the after flame time of drips. 6.5 Ruler A ruler or a scale, calibrated and graduated to the nearest 1 mm, shall be used to measure the burn length. 7 Test specimens 7.1 Number of

32、specimens At least three specimens shall be prepared and tested. 7.2 Specimens orientation For materials which may have anisotropic flammability properties (.e., different properties in different directions, such as machine and cross-machine direction for extruded materials, warp and weft for woven

33、fabrics, etc.), the specimens shall be tested in both directions. The values for every direction have to be averaged and reported separately. 7.3 Specimens size The specimens shall be a rectangle of at least 75 mm x 305 mm. 8 Conditioning Condition specimens at (23 f 2) OC and at (50 k 5) % relative

34、 humidity for min. 24 h. Remove only one specimen at a time from the conditioning environment immediately before being tested.

36、 10 Test procedure Make sure that the test cabinet is essentially draft free. Place the burner at least 76 mm away from the test position. Mount the specimen into the specimen holder so that the clamped edges are held securely. One short edge of the specimen has to be flush with the open end of the

37、specimen holder. Insert the specimen holder into the cabinet and assure that the vertical distance between the burner orifice and the bottom surface of the specimen is 19 mm (see figure 7). Make sure of the verticality of the specimen. Close the cabinet door, and keep it closed during the test. Plac

38、e the burner in test position. Start the timer as soon as the burner is in test position. If not otherwise defined in the customers specification the test position is defined as follows : The burner is positioned under the specimen such that the flame impinges on the midpoint of the lower edge of th

39、e test side, defined in the test specification (see figure 7). Depending on the customers specification apply the flame for 12 s or 60 s and then withdraw it by moving the burner approximately 76 mm away from the test position. If flaming material falls from the test specimen, record the after flame

40、 time of drips for the specimen to the nearest 1 s. Determine the after flame time and the after glow time for the specimen to the nearest 1 s. After all flaming and glowing have ceased, open the cabinet door slowly to clear the test cabinet of fumes and smoke. After both flaming and glowing have ce

41、ased remove the specimen and determine the burn length to the nearest 1 mm. To facilitate determining the burn length, a moderate solvent that does not dissolve or attack the specimen material may be used to remove soot and stained particles from tested specimen. In some cases it might be helpful to

42、 cut the specimen in order to determine the burn length. Remove any material from the bottom of the cabinet that fell from the specimen. If necessary, clean the test cabinet window prior to testing the next specimen. Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided
