34、e. (2006)DISCUSSIONThis usually draws more air into the fire. (2006)combustible, adjcapable of undergoing combustion. (1985)DISCUSSIONThe term combustible is often delimited to specificfire-exposure conditions. For example, building materials are consid-ered combustible if they are capable of underg

35、oing combustion in air atpressures and temperatures that might occur during a fire in a building.Similarly, some materials that are not combustible under such condi-tions may be combustible when exposed to higher temperatures andpressures or to an oxygen-enriched environment. Materials that are notc

36、ombustible in bulk form may be combustible in finely divided form.(1985)combustion, na chemical process of oxidation that occurs ata rate fast enough to produce temperature rise and usuallylight either as a glow or flame. (See also glow and smolder-ing.) (1989)combustion products, neffluent produced

37、 when a materialundergoes combustion (see also smoke; see also combus-tion). (2001)DISCUSSIONThe combustion process releases effluents that havemass, in gaseous, liquid, or solid form, and generates radiant energy, asheat or light, and sometimes sound. However, the common usage of theterm combustion

38、 products in ASTM E05 standards is only for thosewhich have mass. (2001)composite, nstructured combination of two or more discretematerials. (2008)continuous, adjin data collection, conducted at intervals of5 s or less. (2008)effective heat of combustion, nthe amount of heat gener-ated per unit mass

39、 lost by a material, product or assembly,when exposed to specific fire test conditions (contrast grossheat of combustion) (2003).DISCUSSIONThe effective heat of combustion depends on the testmethod and is determined by dividing the measured heat release by themass loss during a specified period of t

40、ime under the specified testconditions. Typically, the specified fire test conditions are provided bythe specifications of the fire test standard that cites effective heat ofcombustion as a quantity to be measured. For certain fire test condi-tions, involving very high heat and high oxygen concentra

41、tions underhigh pressure, the effective heat of combustion will approximate thegross heat of combustion. More often, the fire test conditions willrepresent or approximate certain real fire exposure conditions, and theeffective heat of combustion is the appropriate measure. Typical unitsare kJ/g or M

(See also firehazard, fire risk, and fire-test-response characteri

44、stic.)(1993)DISCUSSIONAn array of fire-test-response characteristics in a set ofdata relevant to the assessment of fire hazard in a particular firescenario. In other words, all the fire tests used would have a demon-strated validity for the fire scenario in question, for example by havingcomparable

45、fire intensities. The fire-characteristic profile is intended asa collective guide to the potential fire hazard from a material, product,or assembly involved in a fire that could be represented by thelaboratory test conditions. (1993)fire exposure, nprocess by which or extent to whichhumans, animals

46、, materials, products, or assemblies aresubjected to the conditions created by fire. (1991)fire gases, nthe airborne products emitted by a material,product, or assembly undergoing pyrolysis or combustion,that exist in the gas phase at the relevant temperature. (1979)fire hazard, nthe potential for h

47、arm associated with fire.(1989)DISCUSSIONA fire may pose one or more types of hazard to people,animals, or property. These hazards are associated with the environ-ment and with a number of fire-test-response characteristics of mate-rials, products, or assemblies including but not limited to ease ofi

48、gnition, flame spread, rate of heat release, smoke generation andobscuration, toxicity of combustion products, and ease of extinguish-ment. (1989)fire model, na physical representation or set of mathematicalequations that approximately simulate the dynamics ofburning and associated processes. (1992)

49、fire performance, nresponse of a material, product, orassembly in a particular fire, other than in a fire testinvolving controlled conditions (different from fire-test-response characteristic). (1993)DISCUSSIONThe ASTM Policy on Fire Standards distinguishesbetween the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat andflame under controlled conditions, which is fire-test-response charac-teristic, and under actual fire conditions, which is fire performance. Fireperformance depends on the occasion or environment and may not bemeasurable. In view o
