However, the test method apparatusis much simpler, because it excludes measurements of oxygen consumption or of smoke obscuration,which are incorporated into the cone calorimeter to measure he

A fire-test-response standard describes a test method from which one or more fire-test-response characteristicscan be measured, as a result of exposure to a prescribed source of heat or flame, under controlledconditions. There are many occasions, typically for initial research

5、and development, when there is aneed for screening samples of materials, products, or assemblies, using a simple test. This allows theuser to verify whether certain fire-test-response characteristics of the sample fall within the expectedmargins. Screening tests, as related to fire, are described in

6、 fire terminology as fire-response testsperformed to determine whether a material, product, or assembly (a) exhibits any unusual fire-relatedcharacteristics, (b) has certain expected fire-related characteristics, or (c) is capable of beingpreliminarily categorized according to the fire characteristi

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method employs a conically-shaped electrically-heated radiant-energy source, positioned so as to produce anirradiance level of up to 100 kW/m2, averaged over the ce

40、nter of the exposed surface of an essentially planar specimen.An externalspark ignitor is available, if required. This test method is used to determine continuously the mass lost during the combustionprocess, using a load cell, for screening purposes. Ignitability is also assessed by the test method

41、.4.1.1 Optionally, the test method is capable of obtaining an estimate of the heat released by the specimen during the burningprocess, using a thermopile housed above the burning specimen (See Annex A2). Determinations of heat release using a similarradiant-energy source and oxygen consumption calor

42、imetry, are made with the cone calorimeter, Test Method E1354.4.2 The specimen is essentially planar, 100 mm by 100 mm (3.9 by 3.9 in.) in size, at a thickness not exceeding 25 mm (1 in.)and is mounted within a holder.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means for screening materia

43、ls, products, or assemblies, for the mass loss, and ignitability theyexhibit under specified heat flux exposure conditions. As an option, the test method is also suitable for screening for the heatreleased, by using a thermopile method (See Annex A2).5.1.1 Terminology E176, on fire standards, states

44、 that fire-test-response characteristics include ease of ignition and mass loss(both measured in this test method), as well as flame spread, smoke generation, fire endurance, and toxic potency of smoke.E2102 1735.1.2 The mass loss rate of a material, product, or assembly is a fire-test-response char

45、acteristic that gives an indication of itsburning rate. Thus, a lower mass loss rate is often associated with slower burning. Note, however, that mass loss is not always aresult of combustion, and that this method does not assess release of smoke or combustion products.5.1.3 The time to ignition of

46、a material, product, or assembly is a fire-test-response characteristic that gives an indication of itspropensity to ignite at the applied heat flux level and subsequently to release heat and spread flame over its surface. Thus, a longertime to ignition is an indication of a lower propensity for the

47、 material, product, or assembly to become involved and contributeto fire spread or growth; however this method does not assess the smoke or combustion products released.5.1.4 The apparatus used for this test method is suitable to assess the critical heat flux for ignition of the materials, products,

48、or assemblies tested, by assessing ignitability at various heat fluxes (see Appendix X3 for guidance).5.2 Values determined by this test are specific to the specimen in the form and thickness tested and are not inherent fundamentalproperties of the material, product, or assembly tested. Thus, closel

49、y repeatable or reproducible experimental results are not to beexpected from this test method when tests are conducted for a given material, product, or assembly, while introducing variationsin properties such as specimen thickness or density.5.3 No incident irradiance is specified in this test method. The instrument is capable of generating irradiances ranging up to 100kW/m2. The choice of irradiance is a function of the application of the material, product, or assembly to be tested, and of the firescenario the user is investigating. However, the method
