Summary of Test Method4.1 This fire-test-response standard determines a number offire-test-response characteristics associated with burning thematerials insulating electrical or optical fiber cables, made intocable specimens, and located in a vertical cable tray an

23、d ignitedwith a propane gas burner. The main fire properties measuredare the rate of heat release and its amount. Associated withthese measurements, the test procedure also determines flamepropagation cable damage (by char length), smoke obscuration,and mass loss of specimen. The apparatus described

24、 in this testmethod is also suitable for measuring rates and concentrationsof gaseous combustion products released.4.2 The vertical cable tray that holds the specimen is locatedin an enclosure of specified dimensions.4.3 A hood, connected to a duct is located above the fireenclosure. Heat and gas re

25、lease analysis instrumentation isplaced in the duct. Smoke release instrumentation (optional) isalso placed in the duct.4.4 Two different test procedures are specified, which differin the burner used and in the electrical or optical fiber cableloading. These reflect details of four existing test met

26、hods: UL1581 (vertical tray flammability test, protocol A) and CSAStandard C 22.2 No. 0.3 (FT4 vertical tray flammability test) orIEEE 1202 (protocol B) and UL 1685 and Test Method D5424(both protocols, for smoke obscuration only).4.5 Information specific to the individual protocols is foundin 7.7,

27、7.9, and 11.1.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means to measure a varietyof fire-test-response characteristics associated with heat andsmoke release and resulting from burning the materials insu-lating electrical or optical fiber cables, when made into cablesand installed on a

28、vertical cable tray. The specimens areallowed to burn freely under well ventilated conditions afterignition by means of a propane gas burner.5.2 The rate of heat release often serves as an indication ofthe intensity of the fire generated. General considerations of theimportance of heat release rate

29、are discussed in Appendix X1and considerations for heat release calculations are in Appen-dix X2.5.3 Other fire-test-response characteristics that are measur-able by this test method are useful to make decisions on firesafety. The test method is also used for measuring smokeobscuration. The apparatu

30、s described here is also useful tomeasure gaseous components of smoke; the most importantgaseous components of smoke are the carbon oxides, present inall fires. The carbon oxides are major indicators of thecompleteness of combustion and are often used as part of firehazard assessment calculations an

31、d to improve the accuracy ofheat release measurements.5.4 Test Limitations:5.4.1 The fire-test-response characteristics measured in thistest are a representation of the manner in which the specimenstested behave under certain specific conditions.
