2、revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice deals with methods to construct, calibrate, and use full scale oxygen consumption
3、calorimeters to helpminimize testing result discrepancies between laboratories.1.2 The methodology described herein is used in a number of ASTM test methods, in a variety of unstandardized test methods,and for research purposes. This practice will facilitate coordination of generic requirements, whi
4、ch are not specific to the itemunder test.1.3 The principal fire-test-response characteristics obtained from the test methods using this technique are those associated withheat release from the specimens tested, as a function of time. Other fire-test-response characteristics also are determined.1.4
5、This practice is intended to apply to the conduction of different types of tests, including both some in which the objectiveis to assess the comparative fire performance of products releasing low amounts of heat or smoke and some in which the objectiveis to assess whether flashover will occur.1.5 Th

7、his standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame undercontrolled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials,products, or assemblies under actual fire con
8、ditions.NOTE 1This is the standard caveat described in section F2.2.2.1 of the Form and Style for ASTM Standards manual for fire-test-response standards.In actual fact, this practice does not provide quantitative measures.1.8 Fire testing of products and materials is inherently hazardous, and adequa
9、te safeguards for personnel and property shall beemployed in conducting these tests. Fire testing involves hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. See also Section 7.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsib

Significance and Use4.1 The oxygen consumption principle, used for the measurements described here, is based on the ob
31、servation that, generally,the net heat of combustion is directly related to the amount of oxygen required for combustion (1).7 Approximately 13.1 MJ ofheat are released per 1-kg of oxygen consumed. Test specimens in the test are burned in ambient air conditions, while beingsubjected to a prescribed
32、external heating source.4.1.1 This technique is not appropriate for use on its own when the combustible fuel is an oxidizer or an explosive agent, whichrelease oxygen. Further analysis is required in such cases (see Appendix X2).4.2 The heat release is determined by the measurement of the oxygen con
33、sumption, as determined by the oxygen concentrationand the flow rate in the combustion product stream, in a full scale environment.4.3 The primary measurements are oxygen concentration and exhaust gas flow rate. Additional measurements include thespecimen ignitability, the smoke obscuration generate
34、d, the specimen mass loss rate, the effective heat of combustion and the yieldsof combustion products from the test specimen.4.4 The oxygen consumption technique is used in different types of test methods. Intermediate scale (Test Method E1623, UL1975) and full scale (Test Method D5424, Test Method
35、D5537, Test Method E1537, Test Method E1590, Test Method E1822, ISO9705, NFPA 265, NFPA 266, NFPA 267, NFPA 286, UL 1685) test methods, as well as unstandardized room scale experimentsfollowing Guide E603, using this technique involve a large instrumented exhaust hood, where oxygen concentration is
36、measured,either standing alone or positioned outside a doorway. A large test specimen is placed either under the hood or inside the room.This practice is intended to address issues associated with equipment requiring a large instrumented hood and not stand-alone testapparatuses with small test speci
37、mens.4.4.1 Small scale test methods using this technique, such as Test Methods D6113, E1354, E1474 and E1740, as well as ISO5660 internationally, are based on a stand-alone apparatus, wherein a small specimen is tested within the equipment.4.4.2 Another small scale heat release test method, Test Met
38、hod E906, does not use the oxygen consumption technique.4.5 Throughout this practice, test equipment is referenced to provide helpful guidance to test facilities. Substitution ofequivalent, or better, test measuring devices is permissible.5. Test Room Layout5.1 Standard Rooms:5.1.1 Three standard ro
39、om configurations have been in common use for many years, often designated as the “ASTM”/“ISO”room (cited in Guide E603 and in ISO 9705), and the “California” room (used in CA TB 129 and CA TB 133, as well as, TestMethods E1537, E1590, and E1822), and the cable tray test room (used in Test Methods D
40、5424 and D5537, as well as, in UL1685).5.1.2 ASTM/ISO RoomThe test room shall have interior dimensions of 2.44 m 6 25 mm by 3.66 m 6 25 mm by 2.44 m 625 mm high (8 by 12 by 8 ft high). The room shall have no openings other than a doorway opening 0.76 m 6 6 mm by 2.03 m6 6 mm (30 by 80 in.), located
41、as indicated in Fig. 1, and other small openings, as necessary to make test measurements. Constructthe test room of wooden or metal studs, and line it with gypsum wallboard, Type X, or calcium silicate wallboard. Position a hood(see Section 6) outside of the room doorway, such that it collects all t
42、he combustion gases. There shall be no obstructions to theair supply to the test setup.NOTE 2Both Type X gypsum wallboard and calcium silicate wallboard with a thickness of 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) have been found acceptable. If thewallboard is thicker, it will not affect the results of this test. Gypsum w
43、allboard is likely to generate a measurable amount of heat or smoke release athigh heat inputs, due primarily to its paper facer.5.1.2.1 Install an additional layer of fire rated wallboard on the portions of the walls or ceiling directly adjacent to the testspecimen location. Cover at least 1.22 by
44、1.22 m (4 by 4 ft) of the ceiling with the added wallboard, but do not place an additionallayer of wallboard under the test specimen. This ceiling surface is the most severely exposed to flames and heat and needs frequentreplacement. Replace any portion of the lining if cracks occur or severe burn d
45、amage is observed.5.1.2.2 Frequently, whenever there is a single test specimen, such as Test Method E1537, Test Method E1590, or Test MethodE1822, the test specimen location is the corner of the room furthest away from the doorway. The test specimen also is usuallyplaced on a weighing platform. This
46、 test room is unsuitable for Test Method D5424 or Test Method D5537. The test methodindicates test specimen location.5.1.2.3 When testing surface linings (walls or ceilings), weighing of the test specimen during the test is usually not practical.Mass loss during testing, if desired, must be estimate
47、d from calculations.5.1.3 California RoomThe test room shall have dimensions of 3.05 m 6 25 mm 3.66 m 6 25 mm 2.44 m 6 25 mm high(10 by 12 by 8 ft high). The room shall have no openings other than a doorway opening 0.97 m 6 6 mm 2.06 m 6 6 mm (387 The boldface numbers in parentheses refers to the li
