1、1067 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Admin., DOT Pt. 179 (6) Instrumentation. A recording potentiom-eter or other suitable instrument with an ap-propriate range must be used to measure and record the outputs of the calorimeter and the thermocouples. (7) Timing Device. A stopwatch or other de

2、-vice must be used to measure the time of flame application and the time of flame pen-etration, if it occurs. (e) Preparation of Apparatus. Before calibra-tion, all equipment must be turned on and allowed to stabilize, and the burner fuel flow must be adjusted as specified in paragraph (d)(2). (f) C

3、alibration. To ensure the proper ther-mal output of the burner the following test must be made: (1) Remove the burner extension from the end of the draft tube. Turn on the blower portion of the burner without turning the fuel or igniters on. Measure the air velocity using a hot wire anemometer in th

4、e center of the draft tube across the face of the opening. Adjust the damper such that the air velocity is in the range of 1550 to 1800 ft./min. If tabs are being used at the exit of the draft tube, they must be removed prior to this measure-ment. Reinstall the draft tube extension cone. (2) Place t

5、he calorimeter on the test stand as shown in Figure 2 at a distance of 8 inches (203 mm) from the exit of the burner cone to simulate the position of the horizontal test specimen. (3) Turn on the burner, allow it to run for 2 minutes for warm-up, and adjust the damp-er to produce a calorimeter readi

6、ng of 8.0 0.5 BTU per ft.2sec. (9.1 0.6 Watts/cm2). (4) Replace the calorimeter with the ther-mocouple rake. (5) Turn on the burner and ensure that each of the seven thermocouples reads 1700 F. 100 F. (927 C. 38 C.) to ensure steady state conditions have been achieved. If the temperature is out of t

7、his range, repeat steps 2 through 5 until proper readings are ob-tained. (6) Turn off the burner and remove the thermocouple rake. (7) Repeat (1) to ensure that the burner is in the correct range. (g) Test Procedure. (1) Mount a thermo-couple of the same type as that used for cali-bration at a dista

8、nce of 4 inches (102 mm) above the horizontal (ceiling) test specimen. The thermocouple should be centered over the burner cone. (2) Mount the test specimen on the test stand shown in Figure 1 in either the hori-zontal or vertical position. Mount the insu-lating material in the other position. (3) P

9、osition the burner so that flames will not impinge on the specimen, turn the burn-er on, and allow it to run for 2 minutes. Ro-tate the burner to apply the flame to the specimen and simultaneously start the tim-ing device. (4) Expose the test specimen to the flame for 5 minutes and then turn off the

10、 burner. The test may be terminated earlier if flame penetration is observed. (5) When testing ceiling liner panels, record the peak temperature measured 4 inches above the sample. (6) Record the time at which flame pene-tration occurs if applicable. (h) Test Report. The test report must in-clude th

11、e following: (1) A complete description of the materials tested including type, manufacturer, thick-ness, and other appropriate data. (2) Observations of the behavior of the test specimens during flame exposure such as delamination, resin ignition, smoke, etc., in-cluding the time of such occurrence

12、. (3) The time at which flame penetration occurs, if applicable, for each of the three specimens tested. 72FR55099, Sept. 28, 2007 PART 179SPECIFICATIONS FOR TANK CARS Subpart AIntroduction, Approvals and Reports Sec. 179.1 General. 179.2 Definitions and abbreviations. 179.3 Procedure for securing a

44、he builder, as prescribed in this part, have been per-formed in compliance with this part. (f) The tank builder should inform each person to whom that tank is transferred of any specification re-quirements which have not been met at time of transfer.
