Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 linear flame propagation rate, nthe average quotientof the distance of flame travel and the time required for theflame front to travel that distance.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A section of a ceramic
9、 fiber support medium (string) isimpregnated with the sample under specific conditions. Theimpregnated fiber is placed on a standard support. The sampleis ignited and the time required for the flame front to propagateacross a measured distance is determined by use of a thermo-electric system. The av
10、erage propagation rate is then calculatedfrom the measured distance of flame travel and the timerequired for the flame front to propagate over that distance.5. Significance and Use5.1 The linear flame propagation rate of a sample is aproperty that is relevant to the overall assessment of theflammabi
11、lity or relative ignitability of fire resistance lubricantsand hydraulic fluids. It is intended to be used as a bench-scaletest for distinguishing between the relative resistance to igni-tion of such materials. It is not intended to be used for theevaluation of the relative flammability of flammable
12、, extremelyflammable, or volatile fuels, solvents, or chemicals.6. Apparatus6.1 Apparatus for measurement of linear flame propagationrates:6.1.1 Open Top Stainless Steel Box, as shown in Fig. 1.6.1.2 Recorder, stripchart, fast responses.

Immerse theceramic fiber support (string) in the liquid sample for 60 s.Avoid immersion of the loops at the end of the str
19、ing.8.2 While the ceramic fiber support (string) is immersed inthe sample, carefully wrap an absorbent paper wiper around the15 mm diameter chrome plated rod. Leave one end of the roduncovered by the wiper.8.3 Remove the ceramic fiber support (string) section fromthe liquid sample and attach a 50 g
20、weight to the loop at eachend. Fix the chrome-plated rod with its absorbent paperwrapping in a horizontal position and hang the soaked stringsection with attached weights over the unwrapped section ofthe rod. Press down gently on the uppermost weight to causethe soaked string to pass over the bare r
21、od, flexing gently as itmoves. When the lower weight has been drawn up to the rod,reverse the process until the first weight has again been drawnup the rod. Repeat the cycle four times to work the samplethoroughly into the string.8.4 Transfer the string with attached weights to the coveredportion of
22、 the chrome-plated rod. Pass the string over theabsorbent paper in the manner described in 8.3. After eachcomplete double cycle, lift the string from the paper, rotate itthrough 180 as it is held taut in a vertical position and thenreplace it on a fresh area of the absorbent medium. Again passthe st
23、ring over the paper in the manner described in 8.3. Repeatuntil four double cycles have been completed.8.5 Place the string support and thermocouple holder in adraft-free hood with the ventilation turned off. Level theapparatus with a spirit level. Place the prepared string on thestring supports. Th
24、e attached weights should be left in place toprovide tension in the string. Adjust the differential thermo-couple junctions so that they are exactly 2 mm directly abovethe string. Connect the differential thermocouple pair to thefast-response, zero-centered strip chart recorder.8.6 Start the recorde
25、r chart after an appropriate warm-upperiod. With an ignition source, ignite the sample on the stringnear its support at one end of the apparatus. Permit the flame toadvance along the string past each thermocouple until itextinguishes itself upon reaching the opposite string support.Stop the recorder
26、 and start the hood ventilator to exhaust thecombustion products of the sample. (WarningTake extremecare to avoid inhalation of the combustion products as ex-tremely toxic substances are formed during the combustion ofsome synthetic materials, especially halogenated andphosphorus-based compounds.)8.
27、7 Measure the horizontal distance between the thermo-couples and interval between the first thermal effects as shownin Fig. 2. From the measured interval, the chart speed of therecorder and the known horizontal distance between thermo-couples in the test apparatus, calculate and report the horizonta
28、llinear flame propagation rate in millimetres per second. If theflame does not advance during the experimental run, or if itextinguishes itself before passing both thermocouples, recordthat fact. Replicate runs shall be made as required.4The sole source of supply of the ceramic fiber known to the co

Precision and Bias510.1 Precision:10.1.1 Eight laboratories participated in a collaborativestudy to
32、determine the precision and bias of this test method.The study was conducted by sending seven different fluids toparticipating laboratories. Since two different test procedureswere used in Laboratory Number 4, some data were reportedfor Lab 4 and Lab 4A. For analysis purposes, Lab 4 and 4Awere treat
33、ed as independent, resulting in a total of ninelaboratories.10.1.2 The seven fluids used in the study are: Silicate EsterI, Phosphate Ester, MIL-H-5606, MIL-H-83282 I, MIL-H-5606 II, MIL H-83282 II, and Silicate Ester II. Each fluid wasused in conjunction with two support materials,34 and45 .Each co
34、mbination of fluid and support was replicated fivetimes.10.1.3 Appendix X1 contains a table of summary data. Theaverage flame propagation rate in millimetres per second isreported for each fluid and support combination for eachlaboratory. This was calculated from five replicates, except asnoted. An
35、overall average and a standard deviation, S, for eachcombination of fluid and support materials is reported as well.Note that all values in Table X1.1 are reported to threesignificant figures since the majority of raw data points werereported that way. Laboratories 4, 4A, and 8 reported twosignifica
36、nt figures while Laboratory 7 reported four significantfigures.10.1.4 Annex A1 contains a table of precision statistics. Therepeatability standard deviation, Sr, refers to an intralabvariation. The reproducibility standard deviation, SR, refers tolab-to-lab variation. The 95 % repeatability and repr
37、oducibilitylimits are r and R, respectively.10.1.5 The precision of this test method as obtained bystatistical examination of interlaboratory test results is asshown in 10.1.5.1 and 10.1.5.2.10.1.5.1 The difference between successive test results ob-tained by the same operator with the same apparatu
