2、year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This fire-test-response standard provides for measur
3、ingthe response of materials exposed to controlled levels ofradiant heating with or without an external ignitor.1.2 This test method is used to determine the ignitability,heat release rates, mass loss rates, effective heat of combustion,and visible smoke development of materials and products.1.3 The
4、 rate of heat release is determined by measurementof the oxygen consumption as determined by the oxygenconcentration and the flow rate in the exhaust product stream.The effective heat of combustion is determined from a con-comitant measurement of specimen mass loss rate, in combi-nation with the hea
5、t release rate. Smoke development ismeasured by obscuration of light by the combustion productstream.1.4 Specimens shall be exposed to initial test heat fluxes inthe range of 0 to 100 kW/m2. External ignition, when used,shall be by electric spark. The value of the initial test heat fluxand the use o
6、f external ignition are to be as specified in therelevant material or performance standard (see X1.2). Thenormal specimen testing orientation is horizontal, independentof whether the end-use application involves a horizontal or avertical orientation. The apparatus also contains provisions forvertica
7、l orientation testing; this is used for exploratory ordiagnostic studies only.1.5 Ignitability is determined as a measurement of timefrom initial exposure to time of sustained flaming.1.6 This test method has been developed for use for materialand product evaluations, mathematical modeling, design p
8、ur-poses, or development and research. Examples of materialspecimens include portions of an end-use product or thevarious components used in the end-use product.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.

17、Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 effective heat of combustion, nthe amount of heatgenerated per unit mass lost by a material, product or assembly,when exposed to specific fire test conditions (contrast grossheat of combustion).3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe effective heat of combustion de-pends on the test me
18、thod and is determined by dividing themeasured heat release by the mass loss during a specifiedperiod of time under the specified test conditions.Typically, thespecified fire test conditions are provided by the specificationsof the fire test standard that cites effective heat of combustionas a quant
19、ity to be measured. For certain fire test conditions,involving very high heat and high oxygen concentrations underhigh pressure, the effective heat of combustion will approxi-mate the gross heat of combustion. More often, the fire testconditions will represent or approximate certain real fireexposur

Typical units are kJ/g or MJ/kg.3.2.2 gross heat of combustion, nthe maximum amount ofheat per unit mass that theoretically can be released by thecombustion of a material, product, or assembly; it can bedetermined experime

22、be measured at the initiation of atest (such as Test Method E1354 or Test Method E906) andthen reported as the incident heat flux, with the understandingthat the burning of the test specimen can generate additionalheat flux to the specimen surface. The heat flux can also bemeasured at any time durin

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method is based on the observation (1)4that,generally, the net heat of combustion is directly related to theamou
35、nt of oxygen required for combustion. The relationship isthat approximately 13.1 3 103kJ of heat are released per 1 kgof oxygen consumed. Specimens in the test are burned inambient air conditions, while being subjected to a predeter-mined initial test heat flux, which can be set from 0 to 100kW/m2.
36、The test permits burning to occur either with orwithout spark ignition. The primary measurements are oxygenconcentrations and exhaust gas flow rate. Additional measure-ments include the mass-loss rate of the specimen, the time tosustained flaming and smoke obscuration, or as required in therelevant
37、material or performance standard.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used primarily to determine the heatevolved in, or contributed to, a fire involving products of thetest material. Also included is a determination of the effectiveheat of combustion, mass loss rate, the time to sustained
38、flaming, and smoke production. These properties are deter-mined on small size specimens that are representative of thosein the intended end use.5.2 This test method is applicable to various categories ofproducts and is not limited to representing a single firescenario.Additional guidance for testing
39、 is given in X1.2.3 andX1.11.5.3 This test method is not applicable to end-use productsthat do not have planar, or nearly planar, external surfaces.6.
