1、Designation: D3065 01 (Reapproved 2013)Standard Test Methods forFlammability of Aerosol Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3065; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of flamma
3、-bility hazards for aerosol products.1.2 These test methods appear in the following order:SectionFlame Projection Test 4 to 7Closed Drum Test 8 to 101.3 These test methods should be used to measure anddescribe the properties of materials, products, or assemblies inresponse to heat and flame under co
4、ntrolled laboratory condi-tions and should not be used to describe or appraise the firehazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies underactual fire conditions. However, results of this test may be usedas elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into accountall of the factors whic
5、h are pertinent to an assessment of the firehazard of a particular end use.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determin

Significance and Use3.1 These test methods were developed so that the OpenDrum Test could be abandoned as a meaningful guide inestablishing
7、flammability hazards.FLAME PROJECTION TEST4. Apparatus4.1 Base, 8 in. (203 mm) wide and 2 ft (0.6 m) long, markedin 6-in. (152-mm) intervals.4.2 Rule, 2 ft (0.6 m) long, marked in inches (or millimetres)to be supported horizontally on the side of the base andapproximately 6 in. (152 mm) above it.4.3
8、 Candle, paraffin, approximately 1 in. (25 mm) in diam-eter and of such height that the top third of the flame is at theheight of the horizontal rule, to be placed at the zero point inthe base.5. Conditioning5.1 Condition the dispenser to 70 6 1F (216 0.5C).6. Procedure6.1 Conduct the test in a draf
9、t-free area that can be venti-lated and cleared after each test.6.2 Shake the dispenser, and hold it upright unless the labelstates otherwise.6.3 Position the dispenser 6 in. (152 mm) from the flamesource and spray for 4 s (one operator noting the extension ofthe flame and the other operating the di
10、spenser) through the topthird of the 2-in (51-mm) flame and essentially parallel to therule.6.3.1 WarningDo not spray large quantities in a small,confined area.6.4 Record the results.6.5 Free the space of any previously discharged material,repeat 6.2-6.4 twice again, and average the three results.7.

14、es1CLOSED DRUM TEST8. Apparatus8.1 Drum, open-head, 55 gal (208 dm3), modified as fol-lows:8.1.1 Fit a closure over the open drum head. The closuremay be either a hinged lid (Fig. 1), or a12-mil (0.0127-mm)thickness of polyamide film. If the film is used, apply it asfollows:8.1.1.1 Stretch the film
15、over the open end of the drum andhold it in place by a strong rubber band, that will stretch 1 in.(25 mm) when a 1-lb (0.45-kg) mass is hung from its lowestpoint when around the drum.8.1.1.2 Cut a 1-in. (25-mm) vertical slit in the film, begin-ning at a point 2 in. (51 mm) from the top of the drum.8
16、.1.1.3 Draw the film taut over the opening.8.1.2 Bore a circular opening 1 in. (25 mm) in diameterthrough the base, about 2 in. (51 mm) from the edge, in sucha position that when the drum is on its side the hole will be atthe top.8.1.3 A metal base 9 in. (229 mm) long, 2 in. (51 mm) wide,and at leas
17、t116 in. (1.6 mm) thick shall be used to support aparaffin candle approximately 1 in. (25 mm) in diameter and atleast 3 in. (76 mm) in height (see Fig. 2).8.1.4 Optionally, a 6-in. (152-mm) square opening may becut through the center of the drum base and securely coveredwith a piece of safety glass.
18、9. Conditioning9.1 Condition the dispenser to 70 6 1F (216 0.5C).10. Procedure10.1 Lay the drum on its side (Fig. 1) where the temperatureis between 60 and 80F (15 and 27C), but as close to 70F(21C) as possible.10.2 Stand the candle on the metal base in the drum,half-way from each end.10.3 Light the
19、 candle and secure the closure. (If the filmclosure is used, ignite the candle by means of a taper throughthe 1-in. (25-mm) circular opening.)10.4 Shake the dispenser and hold it upright or, if necessary,in such a position that the liquid contents can be sprayeddirectly into the drum.10.5 As quickly
20、 as possible, place the dispenser at the 1-in.(25-mm) opening and spray directly into the drum, directingthe spray toward the center of the opposite end, until anexplosion takes place, or for a period up to 60 s, whicheveroccurs first.10.6 After each test, open the drum to clear the atmosphere,and c
21、lean the drum of any residues which might effect futuretests.10.7 Repeat 10.3-10.6 twice again, and average the threeresults, using the same dispenser if possible. If size limitationsmake it necessary to use more than one dispenser, then do notuse more than one in the performance of any one test.11.
22、 Report11.1 Report the following information:11.1.1 Product being tested,11.1.2 Results of the three tests, and11.1.3 Average of the three results.12. Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionThe precision of Test Methods D3065 ishighly dependent on the contents being tested. One laboratorythat used the “Fla
23、me Projection Test” has investigated twoproducts with three replicate tests, yielding the followingresults:Product A Flame Extension (in.)Can No. 1 18Can No. 2 16Can No. 3 18Mean value 17.3Standard Deviation 1.15Product B Flame Extension (in.)Can No. 1 7Can No. 2 4Can No. 3 5Mean value 5.3Standard D
24、eviation 1.5312.1.1 Another laboratory that used the “Closed Drum Test”has investigated two products with three replicate tests, yield-ing the following results:Product A SecondsCan No. 1 48.9Can No. 2 47.8Can No. 3 55.2FIG. 1 Hinged Lidin. mm in. mm16121.6132951229FIG. 2 Candle BaseD3065 01 (2013)2
25、Mean value 50.63Standard Deviation 3.99Product B SecondsCan No. 1 31.1Can No. 2 27.5Can No. 3 29.5Mean value 29.37Standard Deviation 1.812.1.2 Other products in aerosol packages may have valuesdifferent than the values disclosed above. Variability is strongdue to the tolerances in all of the compone
26、nts in the aerosolvalve, which affect the delivery rate and pattern shape; bothrate and pattern have a direct effect of flame extension. Thereis also variability due to the amount and flammability level ofthe contentsboth product and propellent. Users of this testmethod are suggested to reference hi
27、storical files of previoustests of similar aerosol packaging contents for an estimate ofwithinlaboratory repeatability. The Committee believes thatbecause of this strong product and component materialdependency, further investigation of repeatability and repro-ducibility is not practicable.12.2 Bias
28、Test Methods D3065 has no bias because anaccepted reference or referee value is not available.13.
