9、25 mm in thickness under the influence of radiant heat only or with simultaneous flame application. The test results enable a comparison of the smoke production of different materials or material configurations under the conditions specified in this standard. NOTE : The smoke gas density is determin
10、ed according to the specific environmental and test conditions defined in EN 2824 and this standard. No studies have been made up to now to determine whether the results can be transferred to differing conditions, particularly to actual fire conditions. The burning behaviour - and consequently the s
11、moke density - of aerospace materials are not only influenced by the type of material but also to a large extent by the configuration, the specific surface and mass, the combination with other materials, the means of joining as well as the processing technique. 2 Normative references This European S

These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply

15、heat only or with flame application. The smoke density is measured by means of the reduction of light transmission as smoke accumulates and expressed in terms of specific optical density which is derived from a geometric factor and the measured light obscuration. 4 Definitions See IS0 3261 i 1) Publ

The lette
18、r code B indicates that the method is used to test a material in both the Flaming mode and the Norm-Flaming mode. 6 Test equipment Testing shall be carried out in a test chamber according to EN 2824. 7 Specimens 7.1 Number of specimens According to EN 2824. 7.2 Conditioning According to EN 2824. 7.3
19、 According to EN 2824. Dimensions and shape of specimens 7.4 Specimen mounting According to EN 2824. 8 Procedure 8.1 from the area of operation. When performing the test, precautions shall be taken to remove potentially hazardous gases 8.2 During the warm-up period, all electric systems (furnace, li
20、ght source, photometer-readout) shall be switched on, the exhaust vent and chamber door shall be closed and the inlet vent be open. When the temperature on the centre surface of the back wall has reached a steady-state value of (35 f 2) OC, the chamber is ready for calibrating or testing. To increas
21、e the chamber wall surface temperature to the stated level, an auxiliary heater may be used, but shall be removed prior to performing tests. Conversely, to decrease this temperature, the exhaust blower may be used to introduce cooler air. The furnace shall be calibrated at periodic intervals. 8.3 A
22、specimen holder with inserted calcium silicate sheet shall always be located directly in front of the furnace, except when it is replaced by the specimen holder during a test or the radiometer during calibration. It shall be returned immediately to this position when testing or calibration is comple
23、ted to prevent excessive heating of the opposite wall surface.

24、age 5 prEN 2825 : 1995 8.4 During the daily calibration, the radiometer shall be placed on the horizontal rods of the furnace support framework and accurately positioned in front of the furnace opening by displacing the “blank“ specimen holder against the prepositioned stop. With the chamber door cl
25、osed and the inlet vent opened, the compressed air supply to the radiometer cooler shall be adjusted to maintain the radiometer body temperature at (93 f 3) OC. After the system has reached steady-state the furnace transformer shall be adjusted to obtain - as per radiometer calibrating curve - an ou
26、tput signal corresponding to an irradiance of (25,O f 0,5) kW/m2 averaged over the radiometer receiver area. After the prescribed irradiance level has reached steady- state, th,e radiometer shall be removed from the chamber and replaced by the “blank“ specimen holder. A suitable voltmeter or recorde
27、r shall indicate the radiometer signal. The calibration of the radiometer has to be checked regulary because the characteristics may change by use. The whole system has to be verified finally by testing standardized samples or by comparative testing. 8.5 After the system has reached steady-state (en
28、d of warm-up period), the amplifier sensitivity shall be adjusted to obtain a 100 % transmittance indication in the least sensitive measuring range with free light path. The “dark current“ reading shall be set to zero by compensating the dark current with the light beam blocked in the most sensitive
29、 measuring range of the photometer to O % transmittance. Prior to commencing the test the zero line of the recorder shall be adjusted accordingly. 8.6 For non-flaming exposures the burner shall be removed. For flaming exposures the burner shall be positioned in front of the lower edge of the specime
30、n, as described in clause 8.3 and figure 8 of EN 2824. The burner distances relative to the blank specimen holders shall be checked prior to testing. 8.7 Before accurately positioning the specimen in front of the furnace, the chamber shall be flushed for about 2 min with the door and exhaust and inl
31、et vents open. The wall temperature, measured with the back wall thermocouple according to EN 2824, shall be verified when starting the test (see 8.2). 8.8 The exhaust vent and blower shall be closed. The loaded specimen holder shall be placed on the bar support and pushed into position in front of
32、the furnace by displacing the blank holder to the stop. The chamber door shall be closed quickly, starting simultaneously the recorder or plotter. The inlet vent shall only be completely closed when the photometer indicates the presence of smoke. 8.9 necessary full-scale range changes shall be made
33、and noted in decade steps. The light transmittance and the corresponding time shall recorded as a continuous plot. The 8.9.1 The percentage error of a reading becomes progressively worse at the lower portion of the scale. Avoid light transmittance measurement on scale readings less than 10 by making
34、 the appropriate decade range change. 8.10 The increase in chamber pressure shall be observed using the manometer described in EN 2824. If negative pressure develops after very intense burning of specimen, the inlet vent shall be slightly opened for pressure equalization. During the test, the gas fl
35、ow of the burner shall be kept constant. 8.1 1 Unless otherwise specified, the test duration shall be 6 min. 8.12 If transmittance falls below 0,Ol %, the chamber window shall be covered with an opaque screen to avoid possible light-scattering effects from room light. The ND-2 filter in the photomet
36、ric system according to EN 2824, figure 5, shall be removed from the light path to extend the measuring range. The filter shall be replaced before exhausting smoke from the chamber. , Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided by IHS under license with AECMANo
