1、Designation: D4391 93a (Reapproved 2013)Standard Terminology Relating toThe Burning Behavior of Textiles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4391; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re

2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.The definitions in this standard have been approved by the Society and are included in D123 “Terminology Relating to Textiles”. Theyare p

3、ublished as a separate collection for the convenience of persons interested in the burning behavior of textiles. A bibliography ofrelated literature is given in Appendix X1.afterflame, npersistent flaming of a material after the igni-tion source has been removed. D13.92 D4391after-flame time, nthe l

4、ength of time for which a materialcontinues to flame after the ignition source has beenremoved. D13.92 D4391afterglow, nglow in material after the removal of an externalignition source or after the cessation (natural or induced) offlaming of the material. (See also flame, glow, and smol-dering.)afte

5、rglow time, nthe time afterglow continues after thecessation of flaming or after removal of the ignition source.D13.92 D4391burning behavior, nall the changes that take place whenmaterials or products are exposed to a specified ignitionsource.charring, nthe formation of carbonaceous residue as there

6、sult of pyrolysis or incomplete bustible textile, na textile that will ignite and burn orthat will give off vapors that will ignite and burn whensubjected to external sources of ignition. (Compare flam-mable textile, noncombustible textile.)combustion, na chemical process of oxidation that occurs at

7、a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light either asglow or flames.DISCUSSIONSome oxidation such as that of hydrogen emits radia-tion outside the visible spectrum.dangerously flammable textile, n not defined. This term isimplied in the Standard for the Flammability of ClothingTextiles (16

8、CFR Part 1610) under the Flammable FabricsAct (15 USC 1191, et seq.) from which a meaning can beinferred.

9、agration in which materials are destroyed by burning asevidenced by flames of varying size and shape, and a highintensity heat source of 5 kw or greater, such as a burningwaste basket, grease-fire on a stove, burning building orforest fire.flame, nas related to textile flammability, a hot luminouszo

10、ne of gas or matter in gaseous suspension, or both, that isundergoing combustion, that is relatively constant in sizeand shape, and that produces a relatively low heat flux.(Compare fire.)DISCUSSIONExamples are a match flame, candle flame, or a Bunsenburner gas flame.flame resistance, nthe property

11、of a material wherebyflaming combustion is prevented, terminated, or inhibitedfollowing application of a flaming or nonflaming source ofignition, with or without subsequent removal of the ignitionsource.DISCUSSIONFlame resistance can be an inherent property of thebasic material or product, or it may

12、 be imparted by specific treatment.The degree of flame resistance exhibited by a specific material duringtesting may vary with different test conditions.flame resistant, adjhaving flame resistance.DISCUSSION“Flame resistant” is the government mandated descrip-tion for certain products that meet esta

13、blished governmental confor-mance standards or specifications when the product is tested by aspecific method. Where no conformance standards exist, “flame resis-tant” is a relative term and is used to compare one material to another.flame retardant, adjnot defined. This term should not beused as an

14、adjective except in the terms “flame-retardant-treated” and “flame-retardant treatment”.flame retardant, na chemical used to impart flame resis-tance.flame-retardant-treated, adjhaving received a flame-retardant treatment.DISCUSSIONThe term “flame-retardant-treated” does not apply totextiles that ar

18、ignition. D13.92 D4391flame spread time, nthe time taken by a flame on a burningmaterial to travel a specified distance under specifiedconditions. D13.92 D4391flammability, nthose characteristics of a material that per-tain to its relative ease of ignition and relative ability tosustain combustion.f

19、lammable textile, nany combustible textile that burns witha flame. (See also flammability. ) (Compare combustibletextile, noncombustible textile.)flaming debris, nmaterial which continues to flame as itseparates and moves away from the flaming source.D13.92 D4391glow, nvisible, flameless combustion

20、of the solid phase of amaterial. (See also afterglow and smoldering.)DISCUSSIONA solid may both glow and give off combustibles thatburn in the gas phase (that is, flame) but the two are not necessarilyinterdependent. Aspects of glow not involving combustion are definedin dictionaries of general term

21、s.heat durability, nthe extent to which a material retains itsuseful properties at ambient air conditions, following itsexposure to a specified temperature and environment for aspecified time and its return to the ambient air conditions.(Compare heat resistance.)heat durable, adjhaving heat durabili

22、ty.heat flux, nthe thermal intensity indicated by the amount ofpower per unit area.DISCUSSIONThe SI unit for heat flux is watts per square meter(W/m2).heat resistance, nthe extent to which a material retainsuseful properties as measured during exposure of the mate-rial to a specified temperature and

23、 environment for aspecified time. (Compare heat durability.)heat resistant, adjhaving heat resistance.ignition, nthe initiation of combustion.inherent flame-resistance, nas applied to textiles, flameresistance that derives from an essential characteristic of thefiber from which the textile is made.

25、f ignition. (Compare combustible textile.)nonflammable textile, nany combustible textile that burnswithout a flame. (See also glow, smoldering.) (Compareflammable textile, combustible textile, noncombustibletextile.)self-extinguishing, nnot defined. The Board of Directors ofASTM has ruled that the t

26、erm “self-extinguishing” shall notbe used in ASTM standards. It has no meaning except inassociation with a specific test method or specific conditionsof burning.shrinkage, na decrease in one or more dimensions of anobject or material.smoldering, nthe combustion of a solid material withoutaccompanime
