A.2 Discharge of aircraft extinguishers at an angle See 6.2. Carry out the test as described in annex A of BS EN 3-1 : 1996, but hold

29、the extinguisher at 60 to the vertical position during the discharge. Do not move the extinguisher during the test. If the dip tube is asymmetrically placed or cut above the vertical axis of the extinguisher, hold the extinguisher in its least favourable attitude. Annex B (normative) Fire tests B.1

30、Class A fire performance B.1.1 Apparatus B.1.1.1 Metal frame support, (250 10) mm high, (900 10) mm wide and of a length equal to that of the test fire (within the tolerance limits). The steel frame (see figures B.1 and B.2) is constructed of 50 mm3 50 mm angle sections. B.1.1.2 Wooden sticks, made

31、of Pinus silvestris containing 12.5 % to 17.5 % moisture by mass, and of square section of side (39 2) mm. The moisture content of the sticks shall be determined using commercially available instruments which measure conductivity between two needle probes pushed into the sticks. NOTE. Some variation

32、 of reading may be obtained due to structural variation of the timber and the direction of the grain. This type of instrument should therefore be calibrated in case of doubt by drying samples of the sticks, cut to convenient length, to constant mass at (103 2) C, and by weighing them at 24 h interva

33、ls. The moisture content expressed as a percentage is given by the following equation: Percentage moisture = 3 100 Initial mass2 dry mass dry mass The wooden sticks shall be stacked in 14 layers on the metal frame(s) as shown in figures B.1 and B.2. Figure B.1 Class A test fire front view4 BSI 1997

34、BS 7867 : 1997 Figure B.2 Class A test fire side view showing a 13A fire The sticks in each layer shall be spaced at nominal 100 mm centres with nominal 61 mm gaps between the sticks. The sticks laid transversely (layers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14) shall have a length of (500 10) mm. The sticks laid

35、longitudinally (layers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13) shall have a length equal to the test fire length given in table B.1, with a permissible deviation of 10 mm. B.1.1.3 Lighting fuel, consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon having an initial boiling point of not less than 88 C and a final boiling point

36、of not more than 105 C. NOTE. Typical fuels meeting this requirement are heptane and certain solvent fractions sometimes referred to as commercial heptane. B.1.1.4 Lighting tray, being (100 10) mm longer than the nominal length of the test fire, of width (600 10) mm and depth (100 10) mm. NOTE. Long

37、 lighting trays are difficult to handle, and it may be convenient to use a number of smaller trays to give the required length, arranged with no appreciable gap between the trays. B.1.2 Test fire dimensions The test fire shall be the appropriate designated test fire specified in table B.1. NOTE. Eac

38、h test fire is designated by a number followed by the letter A. The designation number of the test fire represents: a) the nominal length of the test fire in decimetres, i.e. the nominal length of the wooden sticks arranged in the longitudinal direction of the test fire; and b) the number of 500 mm

39、wooden sticks for each layer arranged in the transverse direction of the test fire.

40、Test fire location Locate the test fire indoors and sheltered from draughts, in a test chamber that does not impede the natural development of the test fire or effective fire fighting. B.1.4 Procedure The procedure is as follows. a) Pour water into the lighting tray(s) to form a layer at least 3 mm

41、deep over the whole base of the tray, then add sufficient fuel to give an additional depth of 5 mm. b) Ignite the fuel. c) s after fuel ignition, withdraw the lighting 120 220 +10 tray(s) from the crib. d) Permit the crib to burn for a further 6 min, making a total burn time of 8 min. e) Operate the

42、 extinguisher and apply it to the test fire. The extinguishers may be discharged continuously or in successive bursts. NOTE. The operator may move round the fire to obtain the best results. B.1.5 Result If the test fire is put out, the extinguisher has passed the test. B.2 Class B fire performance B

43、.2.1 Apparatus B.2.1.1 Test fire trays, made of welded sheet steel and of circular cylindrical shape (dimensions are given in table B.2), and with vertical sides. The bases of the trays are set horizontal above, or level with, the surrounding ground. NOTE. Reinforcement of the base of the large test

44、 fire trays will be necessary to minimize distortion. In such cases it will be necessary to ensure that the undersides of the trays are not exposed to the atmosphere. B.2.1.2 Lighting fuel, consisting of an aliphatic hydrocarbon having an initial boiling point of not less than 88 C and a final boili

45、ng point of not more than 105 C. NOTE. Typical fuels meeting this requirement are heptane and certain solvent fractions sometimes referred to as commercial heptane. B.2.2 Test fire dimensions The test fire shall be the appropriate designated test fire specified in table B.2. NOTE. Each test fire is

46、designated by a number followed by the letter B. The designating number of the test fire represents the volume of the liquid in litres contained in the tray. The area of the test fire tray expressed in square decimetres is given by this number multiplied by p . The depth of liquid in the trays is ap

47、proximately 30 mm, with a water base to the fuel. Details of class B test fires are contained in table B.2. B.2.3 Test fire location Carry out test fire indoors in a building which will not impede the natural development of the fire or outdoors but with a wind speed not exceeding 3 m/s. Table B.2 Di
