1、Designation: E3020 16aStandard Practice forIgnition Sources1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3020; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the
2、 year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes a series of ignition sources thathave been used and that are potentially applicable to assessingfire-test-response characteristics resulting from
3、the ignition ofmaterials, products, or assemblies.1.2 This practice does not identify which of the ignitionsources described is applicable to any specific use since that isa function of the associated fire hazard (see also 5.2).1.3 This practice is not necessarily comprehensive and it ispossible tha
4、t other applicable ignition sources exist (see also5.3).1.4 This practice describes both flaming and non-flamingignition sources, since the outcome of a non-flaming ignitioncan be the eventual flaming ignition of these materials orproducts (see also 4.2).1.5 This practice does not provide pass/fail
5、criteria that canbe used as a regulatory tool.1.6 This fire standard cannot be used to provide quantitativemeasures.1.7 Fire testing is inherently hazardous. Adequate safe-guards for personnel and property shall be employed inconducting these tests.1.8 This standard is used to measure and describe t
6、heresponse of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flameunder controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporateall factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of thematerials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.1.9 This practice contains notes and foo
7、tnotes which pro-vide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (exclud-ing those in tables and figures) shall not be consideredrequirements of the standard.1.10 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard in referee decisions. No other units of measurementare included in this
8、standard. See IEEE/ASTM SI 10 for furtherdetails.1.11 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 determine the applica-bility of r

40、nces exist in definitions, those contained inTerminology E176 shall be used.3.2 Definitions:3.2.1 ignition, nthe initiation of combustion.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThe combustion may be evidenced byglow, flame, detonation, or explosion. The combustion may besustained or transient. E1763.2.2 piloted ignition
41、, nignition of combustible gases orvapors by a pilot source of ignition (compare spontaneousignition, unpiloted ignition). E1763.2.3 pilot source of ignition, na discrete source of energy,such as, for example, a flame, spark, electrical arc, or glowingwire (compare piloted ignition, unpiloted igniti
42、on). E1763.2.4 smoldering, ncombustion of a solid without flame,often evidenced by visible smoke.3.2.4.1 DiscussionSmoldering can be initiated by smallsources of ignition, especially in dusts or fibrous or porousmaterials, and may persist for an extended period of time afterwhich a flame may be prod
43、uced. E1763.2.5 spontaneous ignition, nunpiloted ignition caused byan internal exothermic reaction (compare piloted ignition).E1763.2.6 sustained flaming, nflame on or over the surface ofa test specimen that lasts longer than a defined period of time(contrast transitory flaming).3.2.6.1 DiscussionTy

E1763.2.7 transitory flaming, nflame on or over the surface ofa test specimen that does not last longer than a defined periodof time (contrast sustained

Summary of Practice4.1 This practice describes a series of standard ignitionsources used in test methods, specifications, or regulations toassess fire-test-response characteristics of materials, products,or assemblies.4.2 These ig
47、nition sources include those that assess theresponse to non-flaming ignition sources, including smolderingcigarettes, glow wires, hot wires, and radiant heat sources.4.3 These ignition sources include those that assess theresponse to flaming ignition sources, including both premixedflames and diffus
48、ion flames.4.4 This practice does not offer pass/fail criteria.4.5 The information included in this practice is representa-tive of the ignition sources in the various standards at the timethis practice was written.
