JAR 25, Large aeroplanes. 3 Equipment The following equipment shall be required for these tests: a) Test chamber: this shall be a chamber measuring not less than 700

12、 mm high 300 mm wide 300 mm deep, open at the top, open at the front and situated in a draught-free environment but with sufficient air supply to provide normal combustion. General arrangements are shown in Figures 1 and 2. b) Bunsen type gas burner: the burner shall have a 6 mm inlet, a needle valv

13、e in the base for gas adjustment, a nominal bore of 9 mm and a barrel of approximately 100 mm above the air inlets. The gas supply shall be capable of achieving the test requirements defined in 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. WARNING NOTE Care should be exercised in setting up and performing this test as toxic fum

14、es may be given off during combustion. The test chamber shall be placed in a fume cabinet that will allow evacuation of gaseous products of combustion at the end of the test.

Strip each end and place them in an atmosphere of (50 5) % relative humidity at a temperature of

16、 (21 3) C for a period of not less than 24 h. Keep the specimens in the conditioning area until just prior to testing. 4.1.2 Flame temperature 4.1.2.1 Adjust the Bunsen burner to produce a flame with an inner blue cone approximately one-third of the overall flame height. Insert a bare copper wire of

17、 (0,7 0,025) mm diameter, and having a free length of not less than 100 mm, into the flame, the end of the wire being immediately above the tip of the inner cone. NOTE For initial setting-up purposes, an overall flame height of approximately 75 mm may be found suitable. 4.1.2.2 Adjust the burner so

18、that the wire starts to melt within 4 s to 6 s of being inserted into the flame. NOTE Alternatively for 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2, a 0,8 mm to 0,81 mm diameter wire may be used in which case adjust the burner so that the wire starts to melt within 7 s to 9 s. 4.1.3 Mounting configuration 4.1.3.1 Mount the

19、 specimen in the test chamber as shown in Figure 1 at an angle of (60 2) to the horizontal, parallel to, and approximately 150 mm from the front end of the test chamber. Clamp the conductor at the bottom of the apparatus. Pass the cable over the upper pulley and attach it to a weight which is just s

20、ufficient to keep the specimen straight within the test zone.

22、e 1 Copyright ASD-STAN Provided by IHS under license with AECMA Not for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-prEN 3475-407:20086 4.1.3.2 Make a mark 200 mm above the lower clamp point and position the burner in the plane of this mark, perpendicular to the specim

23、en and directed towards the specimen at an angle of 30 to the vertical plane as shown in Figure 1, i.e. at 90 to the axis of the cable such that the flame will impinge directly onto the 200 mm mark. 4.1.3.3 Set the distance of the burner from the specimen such that the tip of the inner cone of the f

24、lame is immediately below the specimen. 4.1.4 Flame application Apply the flame to each specimen of a set for a period of 15 s and then immediately remove the burner. Apply the flame to each specimen of the second set for a period of 30 s and then immediately remove the burner. NOTE 1 For thin wall

25、insulation the time of 15 s is considered more severe, as all the insulation can be carbonized in less than 30 s. NOTE 2 Nevertheless a test at 30 s is also necessary to assess FAR/JAR 25 requirements. NOTE 3 The 15 s value was introduce in P2 issue when 30 s value was initially removed. 4.2 Method

26、2 4.2.1 Preparation of test specimens Cut three specimens, approximately 450 mm in length, consecutively from the same coil. Strip each end and place them in an atmosphere of (50 5) % relative humidity at a temperature of (21 3) C for a period of not less than 24 h. Keep the specimens in the conditi

27、oning area until just prior to testing. Remove 50 mm of insulation from one end of the specimen and mount it as shown in Figure 2. 4.2.2 Flame temperature Adjust the Bunsen burner to produce a 38 mm high soft yellow flame. 4.2.3 Mounting configuration Mount the specimen vertically in the test chambe

28、r as shown in Figure 2. Fix the lower end of the conductor to the support bar and apply the fine wire to the conductor at the junction with the insulation. Pass the cable over the upper pulley and attach it to a weight which is just sufficient to keep the specimen straight within the test zone. Copy

31、 permitted without license from IHS-,-,-prEN 3475-407:20088 4.2.4 Flame application Apply the flame to the specimen for a period of 15 s and then immediately remove the burner. 4.3 Completion of test (methods 1 and 2) 4.3.1 After the burner has been removed, note the time taken for all flaming of th

32、e specimen to cease and the length of specimen cable which has been burnt. 4.3.2 Repeat the procedure for the two other specimens. 5 Acceptance criteria 5.1 Method 1 During ignition and combustion, there shall be no flaming droplets or particles falling from the specimen. After the burner has been r

33、emoved, the specimen cable shall cease flaming within the time specified in the product standard and within a total burnt length of 50 mm. The burn length shall be measured from the downward extent of propagation to the upward extent of propagation and including damage caused by the burner itself. 5

34、.2 Method 2 During the test, there shall be no flaming droplets or particles falling from the specimen. After the burner has been removed, the specimen cable shall cease flaming within 10 s and within a total burnt or charred length of 75 mm. The burnt length is the distance from the original juncti

35、on of the insulation and the bare conductor, indicated by the bend made in the conductor, to the farthest point of damage. NOTE Where a product standard specifies only one burn time, this shall be taken as referring to method 1.
