Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of two procedures; one tomeasur

24、e ignition and one to measure lateral-flame spread.Vertically mounted specimens are exposed to the heat from avertical air-gas fueled radiant-heat energy source inclined at15 to the specimen (see Fig. 1).4.1.1 For the ignition test, a series of 155, + 0, 5 mm by155, + 0, 5 mm specimens (see Fig. 1)

25、are exposed to anearly uniform heat flux (see Fig. 2) and the time to flameattachment, using piloted ignition (see Fig. 3), is determined.4.1.2 For the flame spread test, a 155, + 0, 5 mm by800, + 0, 5 mm specimen (see Fig. 1) is exposed to agraduated heat flux (see Fig. 2) that is approximately 5 k

26、W/m2higher at the hot end than the minimum heat flux necessary forignition; this flux being determined from the ignition test (see11.2). The specimen is preheated to thermal equilibrium; thepreheat time being derived from the ignition test (see 12.1).After using piloted ignition, the pyrolyzing flam

27、e-front pro-gression along the horizontal length of the specimen as afunction of time is tracked. The data are correlated with atheory of ignition and flame spread for the derivation ofmaterial flammability properties.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method addresses the fundamental aspects ofpi

28、loted ignition and flame spread. The procedure is suitable forthe derivation of relevant material flammability parameters thatinclude minimum exposure levels for ignition, thermal-inertiavalues, and flame-spread properties.5.2 This test method is used to measure some material-flammability properties

29、 that are scientifically constant andcompatible and to derive specific properties that allow theprediction and explanation of the flame-spread characteristicsof materials. They are considered effective properties that aredependent on the correlations used and when combined withtheory can be used ove

30、r a wide range of fire conditions forpredicting material ignition and flame-spread behavior.5.3 Do not use this test method for products that do not haveplanar, or nearly planar, external surfaces and those productsand assemblies in which physical performance such as jointseparation and fastening me

31、thods has a significant influence onflame propagation in actual fire conditions.5.4 In this procedure, the specimens are subjected to one ormore specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different testconditions are substituted or the end-use conditions areFIG. 1 Schematic of Apparatus With Ig

32、nition SpecimenE1321092changed, it is not always possible by or from this test methodto predict changes in the fire-test-response characteristicsmeasured. Therefore, the results are valid only for the fire testexposure conditions described in this procedure (see also 1.6).6. Apparatus6.1 Test-Equipm
