16、 PA 19428-2959, United States.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method employs a standard test specimen (100 by 356) mm356 mm) with a thickness up to 13 mm, mounted ina U-shaped metal frame. The specimen is ignited by means of a 38-mm38 mm high flame from an appropriate burner, and theburning r

17、ate of the material is determined.4.2 The rate of burning is determined by measurements of the horizontal distance burned in relation to the time of burning, andreported for each set of specimens.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a standard laboratory procedure for measuring and c

18、omparing the burning rates of polymericmaterials under specified controlled conditions.5.2 The rate of burning is affected by such factors as density, direction of rise, and type and amount of surface treatments. Thethickness of the finished specimens must also be taken into account. These factors m

19、ust be considered in order to compare materialson the same basis.5.3 In this procedure, the specimens are subjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different testconditions are substituted or the end-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by or from this

20、 test method to predictchanges in the fire-test-response characteristics measured. Therefore, the results are valid only for the fire test exposure conditionsdescribed in this procedure.6.

Test Specimens8.1 A minimum of five specimens 100 6 5 mm wide by a minimum o

29、f 300 mm long by thickness up to a maximum of 13.013mm are prepared by cutting from the test material. If the test material has a coating, covering, or construction that is considereddirectional in nature, and it has a directional effect on the burning rate, than five then specimens are produced by

30、cutting thematerial for testing of burning rates five specimens in both the transverse and longitudinal directions.FIG. 5 Bottom U-FrameFIG. 6 Burner Position Inside CabinetD5132 1148.2 Cut specimens from uniform density samples. The maximum thickness of any specimen shall be 13.013 mm. If any mater

31、ialto be tested exceeds this, it shall be cut to the above thickness by a mechanical process applied to the side which does not facethe occupant compartment, so that the specimen shall include the primary surface of the part. In case of materials made of differentcomposition which are not composite

32、materials, all the layers within a depth of 13.013 mm from the surface facing towards theoccupant compartment shall be tested individually, as shown at the Fig. 7. Any material that does not adhere to other materials atevery point of contact shall be tested separately.Any material that adheres to ot

33、her materials at every point of contact shall be testedas a composite with other material(s). Record the information on specimen preparation in the test report.8.3 Where it is not possible to obtain a flat specimen because of the component configuration, cut the specimen to the maximumthickness of 1

34、3.013 mm at any point, from the area with the least curvature, and in such a manner as to include the face side.8.4 The minimum width and length of the specimen shall be 95 and 300 mm.mm, respectively. Use the maximum availablelength or width of a specimen (as described in 8.1) where either dimensio

35、n is less than the specified values.8.5 For composites, laminates, or surface-treated samples, the side nearest to the compartment occupant shouldshall be placedfacing down during testing.8.6 If the materials grain pattern or construction is such that it has a directional effect on the burning rate,

36、 testing should beconducted conduct the testing in both the transverse and longitudinal directions, as described in 8.1. Test five specimens in eachdirection.9. Conditioning9.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon, materials shall be conditioned for at least 24 h at 23 6 2C and 5065%50 6 10 % relativehumidi

37、ty prior to testing.9.2All specimens shall be tested in a laboratory atmosphere of 15 to 35C and 45 to 75% relative humidity.9.2 All specimens shall be tested in a laboratory atmosphere of 15 to 35C and 40 to 75 % relative humidity. For convenience,the specimens can be stored up to1hinclosed polyeth

38、ylene bags after conditioning and prior to testing.10. Procedure10.1 Place the test chamber inside a laboratory exhaust hood.NOTE3The 4The proper control of the hood is necessary to ensure the proper draft. Adjust the baffles or the exhaust motor speed, or both, so thatthe face velocity of the hood

39、shall be constant in the range of 0.1 m/s 75 ft/min. The It is possible that the effectiveness of the hood maywill changewhen the door to the lab is opened and closed.10.2 Place samples with napped or tufted surface on a flat surface and comb twice against the nap using the metal comb at least110 mm

40、 in length, with seven to eight teeth per 25 mm.10.3 Place the test specimen between the two matching U-shaped frames so that the frames hold both long sides and one endof the specimen.10.4 Place the burner remote from the specimen, ignite, and adjust it to produce a blue flame 38 6 2 mm high. Adjus

41、t the gassupply and the air ports of the burner until a yellow-tipped blue flame is produced and then increase the air supply until the yellowtip just disappears. Measure the height of the flame, and, if necessary, readjust to obtain a flame 38 mm high.10.5 Place the burner inside the open end of th

42、e test chamber and position the burner to ensure that the center of the burner topis 19 6 1 mm below the center of the bottom edge of the specimen at the open end of the specimen holder when the specimenis in the specimen testing position.NOTEMaterial A has a non-adhering interface with material B a

43、nd is tested separately. Part of material B is within 13.0 mm of the occupantcompartment air space, and materials B and C adhere at every point of contact; therefore B and C are tested as a composite. The cut is in material C asshown, to make a specimen 13.0 mm thick.FIG. 7 Specimen Preparation (Ill

44、ustrative Example)D5132 11510.6 Place the mounted specimen in the horizontal testing position in the specimen holder support inside the test chamber.10.7 Turn on the exhaust hood.10.8 Move the flame into contact with the specimen for a period of 15 s, then extinguish the exposure flame by turning of

45、f thegas supply or by removing the flame from under the specimen.10.9 Observe the leading edge of the flame front, starting the timer when the scribed mark 38 mm from the open end of thesample holder is reached.10.10Measure the time it takes the leading edge of the flame front to progress to the lin

46、e scribed 292 mm from the open endof the top or bottom U-shaped frame. If the flame does not reach this specified end point, time its progress to the furthest distancereached.10.10 Measure the time it takes the leading edge of the flame front to progress to the line scribed 292 mm from the open endo

47、f the top or bottom U-shaped frame. If the flame does not reach this specified end point, time its progress to the furthest distancereached. If the specimen stops burning before it has burned for 60 s and has not burned more than 50 mm past the 38 mm scribedline, no burn rate is calculated.11. Calcu
