Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method provi

28、des two procedures for determining flammability characteristics of materials in a laboratory test usingcontrolled heating (controlled temperature programming) and oxygen consumption calorimetry. This test measures flammabilitycharacteristics using a controlled temperature program to force the releas

29、e of specimen gases, thermal oxidation of the specimengases (and optionally the specimen residue) in excess oxygen, and measurement of the oxygen consumed to calculate the amount,rate, and temperature of heat released by combustion of a solid specimen during controlled heating.4.2 Controlled Thermal

30、 Decomposition, Method AIn this procedure the specimen is subjected to controlled heating in anoxygen-free/anaerobic environment, that is, controlled thermal decomposition. The gases released by the specimen duringcontrolled thermal decomposition are swept from the specimen chamber by a non-oxidizin

31、g/inert purge gas (typically nitrogen),subsequently mixed with excess oxygen, and completely oxidized in a high temperature combustion furnace. The volumetric flowrate and volumetric oxygen concentration of the gas stream exiting the combustion furnace are continuously measured during thetest to cal

32、culate the rate of heat release by means of oxygen consumption. In Method A the heat of combustion of the volatilecomponent of the specimen (specimen gases) is measured but not the heat of combustion of any solid residue. Table X1.1 ofAppendix X1 shows data for c,hc,Yp, and Tmax for 14 different com

33、mercial plastics tested in triplicate (n = 3).4.3 Controlled Thermal Oxidative Decomposition,Method BIn this procedure the specimen is subjected to controlled heating in an oxidizing/aerobic environment, that is,controlled thermal oxidative decomposition. The specimen gases evolved during the contro

34、lled heating program are swept fromthe specimen chamber by the oxidizing purge gas (for example, dry air) and mixed with additional oxygen, if necessary, prior toentering a high temperature combustion furnace where the gases are completely oxidized. The volumetric flow rate and volumetricoxygen conc

35、entration of the gas stream exiting the combustion furnace are continuously measured during the test to calculate thespecific combustion rate by means of oxygen consumption. In Method B the net calorific value of the specimen gases and solidresidue are measured during the test.5. Significance and Us

36、e5.1 This laboratory test method measures thermal combustion properties of materials (1-5).35.2 The test uses controlled thermal decomposition of specimens and thermal oxidation of the specimen gases as they arereleased from the specimen to simulate the condensed and gas phase processes of flaming c

37、ombustion, respectively, in asmall-scale laboratory test (1-7).5.3 The thermal combustion properties measured in the test are related to flammability characteristics of the material (4-7).5.4 The amount of heat released in flaming combustion per unit mass of material is the fire load and the potenti

38、al fire load(complete combustion) is estimated in Method A as hc.5.5 The net calorific value of the material (see Test Method D5865) is determined directly using Method B as hco without theneed to know the atomic composition of the specimen to correct for the latent heat of evaporation of the water

39、produced bycombustion, or to perform titrations to correct for the heat of solution of acid gases.

(5-7) for purposes of fire modeling (See Guide E1591).5.7 The heat release capacity c (J/g-K) is a flammability parameter measured in Method A that is unique to this test method.6. Limitations6.1 The heat release capacity (c) is independent of the form, mass, and heating r

42、l behavior such as melting,dripping, swelling, shrinking, delamination, and char/barrier formation that can influence the results of large (decagram/kilogram)samples in flame and fire tests.6.3 Test results obtained from small (milligram) samples by this method do not include extrinsic factors such

43、as thickness,sample orientation, external heat flux, ignition source, boundary conditions, and ventilation rate that influence the results of large(decagram/kilogram) samples in flame and fire tests.6.4 The specific combustion rate and combustion temperature of Method B are not generally reproducibl

44、e because samplegeometry can affect the rate of surface oxidation and gas phase ignition can occur in the sample chamber at appropriate fuel/oxygenratios. Reproducibility of Qmaxo and Tmaxo are improved by using low oxygen concentration in the purge gas, small samples, andlow heating rates in this t

45、est.7. Apparatus7.1 The equipment used in this test method shall be capable of displaying changes in combustion heat release rate as a functionof specimen temperature during controlled heating and shall have the capability of subjecting the specimen to differentatmospheres of oxygen concentration at

46、 ambient pressure.7.2 Commercial thermogravimetric analyzers, pyrolysis probes, and electrically-heated ceramic tubes in thermal contact witha combustor, or attached gas analyzers, or both, have been found suitable. Detailed apparatus design criteria are given in AnnexA1.NOTE 2In typical materials t

47、ests a material is exposed to a particular set of test conditions and the materials response to those particular testconditions is measured and reported as the test result. In these tests changing the test conditions has an effect on the result of the test. In this test, theheat release capacity (c)

48、 is independent of the test parameters as it is a material property and not a response of a material to a particular set of conditions.Thus, changing the test condition (within certain constraints) will have no effect on the test result. As such, the apparatus required to perform this testshall oper

49、ate to provide test parameters that remain within certain constraints for each section of the device, for example, specimen chamber, mixingsection, combustor. The diameter, length and shape of each section will have no effect on the test result provided the section meets the performance givenin Annex A1.7.3 Figure 1 illustrates the basic components of an apparatus, (1, 5, 8-11), satisfactory for this test method which include:7.4 A specimen chamber (sample chamber) that is capable of holding and heating a small (milligram sized) specimen in ac
