The heat flux can also bemeasured at any time during a fire test, for example asde

Summary of Test Method4.1 This is a test

22、 method designed to measure the time toburn-through (that is, the time to sustained flaming on theunexposed side) of a 1 m2specimen in a vertical orientation.The specimen is exposed on one side to a uniform heat fluxfrom a gas fired radiant panel of up to 50 kW/m2. Tests areconducted with piloted ig

23、nition. Piloted ignition results fromapplying wire igniters at the top and bottom of the testspecimen.4.2 Other measurements can be obtained such as time tosustained flaming on the exposed side, surface temperature,and the specimens interior temperatures at the users discre-tion.4.3 Each specimen sh

24、all be exposed to a uniform heat fluxon the exposed face using a radiant panel configurationdescribed in Test Method E1623 with a heat flux of up to 50kW/m2. The time to burn-through shall be recorded for eachspecimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used primarily to determine the tim

25、eto burn-through and the time to ignition of materials, products,and assemblies.5.2 Representative joints and other characteristics of anassembly shall be included in a specimen when these detailsare part of normal design.5.3 This test method is applicable to end-use products nothaving an ideally pl

26、anar external surface. The heat flux shall beadjusted to be that which is desired at the average distance ofthe surface from the radiant panel.5.4 In this procedure, the specimens are subjected to one ormore specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different testconditions are substituted or

27、the end-use conditions arechanged, it is not always possible by or from this test to predictchanges in the fire-test-response characteristics measured.Therefore, the results are valid only for the fire test exposureconditions described in this procedure.5.5 Representative materials and thicknesses s

28、hall be in-cluded in a specimen when these details are part of normaldesign.5.6 This method can also be used for research and develop-ment of various material types to be included in larger-scalefire test assemblies (for example, Test Methods E119).5.7 Test Limitations:5.7.1 The test results have li

29、mited validity if: (a) thespecimen melts sufficiently to overflow the drip tray, or (b)explosive spalling occurs.5.7.2 Report observations of specimens that sag, deform, ordelaminate.6. Apparatus6.1 GeneralTwo burner designs are permitted (Burner Aor Burner B). See Test Method E1623 Section 6 Appara

30、tus fora description of the radiant panel system.6.2 Although heat and smoke release rates are not measuredfor this procedure, combustion products shall be collected andexhausted for laboratory safety purposes. Construct the exhaustcollection system as described in Test Method E1623 exceptfor the in

31、strumentation.6.2.1 Ensure that the system for exhausting smoke (whichincludes gaseous combustion products) is designed in such away that the combustion products leaving the burning speci-men are exhausted.6.3 Thermocouples(not required - optional - see AnnexA1):6.3.1 Specimen temperature measuremen

32、ts are optional. Ifspecimen temperatures are measured, all thermocouples shallcomply with Annex A1.6.4 Heat Flux MeterThe total heat flux meter shall be ofthe Gardon (foil) or Schmidt-Boelter (thermopile) type3, with adesign range of about 50 kW/m2. The target receivingradiation, and possibly to a s

33、mall extent convection, shall beflat, circular, approximately 12.5 mm in diameter, and coatedwith a durable matt-black finish. The target shall be watercooled. Radiation shall not pass through any window beforereaching the target. The instrument shall be robust, simple toset up and use, and stable i

34、n calibration. The instrument shallhave an accuracy of within 63 % and a repeatability of within60.5 %.3These apparatus have been found satisfactory for this purpose.E3048 1727. Hazards7.1 The test procedures involve high temperatures andcombustion processes. Therefore the potential exists for burns

35、,ignition of extraneous objects or clothing, and for inhalation ofcombustion products. The operator shall use protective glovesand clothes while removing the specimen shield and whilemoving the specimen trolley toward or away from the radiantpanels. The construction of a viewing wall with windows is

36、recommended for laboratories with small spaces where theoperator and viewers cannot move far enough away from thearea of the radiant panel.7.2 The water cooled shield placed in front of the radiantpanel assembly dramatically lowers the heating of the labora-tory space and lowers the potential for ha

37、rm to operatorsworking in the area.8. Test Specimens8.1 Size and Preparation:8.1.1 Test specimens dimensions shall be 1000 by1000 mm and up to 152 mm in thickness. Use the specimenholder as described in Test Method E1623. If specimens ofthickness greater than 152 mm are to be tested, a specimenholde

38、r shall be constructed to accommodate the desired speci-men thickness. They shall be representative of the constructionof the end-use product.Test materials and assemblies of normalthickness, 152 mm or less, using their full thickness.8.1.2 If a product is designed to normally have joints in afield

39、application, then that specimen shall incorporate the jointdetail. Center the joint in the specimens vertical or horizontalcenterline as appropriate.Also test the specimen without a jointdetail if the design does not include a joint.8.1.3 Cover the edges of the specimen with 12 mm ceramicwool blanke

40、t to eliminate the gap between the holder and thespecimen.8.2 ConditioningThe test specimen shall be conditionedto a constant weight at a temperature of 23 6 2.8 C (73.4 65 F) and at a relative humidity of 50 6 5%.9. Calibration9.1 Use calibrated instruments. The instruments required tobe calibrated

41、 or verified include the infrared pyrometer, heatflux meter, computerized data acquisition system, and thermo-couples.9.2 Heat Flux/Distance Relationship:9.2.1 Ignite the radiant panel and allow it to come toequilibrium as indicated by its constant heat flux and surfacetemperature.9.2.1.1 Use the ca

42、libration panel specimen described in TestMethod E1623.9.2.2 Generate a curve of average heat flux measurementsover the calibration panel surface versus distance from theradiant panel. Place the calibration panel in the same positionas a specimen and insert the flux meter from the unexposedface thro

43、ugh the holes. The target face of the flux meter shallextend 15 mm toward the radiant panel from the exposedsurface of the calibration panel to minimize the convective heattransfer contribution. After the heat flux has come toequilibrium, make the heat flux measurements with the targetface of the he

44、at flux meter at the following distance away fromthe radiant panel: 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 2000 mm. Iflower heat fluxes than the one corresponding toa2mdistanceare used, continue calibrating until past the needed distance.9.2.3 No individual heat flux measurement shall deviatefrom the average

45、 at each of the distances by more than 66%.The average heat flux measurements in the bottom row of thecalibration panel shall not deviate from that in any of the heatflux values used by more than 65%.9.2.4 Use the curve generated in 9.2.2 to determine thedistance from the radiant panel for a desired

46、 radiant heat fluxexposure.9.2.5 Perform calibration every three months or more fre-quently if any significant changes to equipment are made or ifcalibration is suspect. Check the calibration at the desiredtarget heat flux the day of the test.9.3 Heat Flux MeterCheck the calibration of the heat flux

47、meter whenever a recalibration of the apparatus is carried outby comparison with an instrument (of the same type as theworking heat flux meter and of similar range) held as areference standard and not used for any other purpose. Fullycalibrate the reference standard at a standardizing laboratory aty
