9、est method employs an electrically heated radiant-energy source mounted within an insulated ceramic tube andpositioned so as to produce an irradiance level of 2.2 Btu/sft2(2.5 W/cm2) averaged over the central 1.5-in.

10、he nominal 3 by 3-in. (76.2 by 76.2-mm)specimen is mounted within a holder which exposes an areameasuring 2916 by 2916 in. (65.1 by 65.1 mm). The holder isable to accommodate specimens up to 1 in. (25.4 mm) thick.This exposure provides the nonflaming condition of the test.4.2 For the flaming conditi

This application of flame in addition to the specifiedirradiance level from the heating element constitutes theflaming combustion exposure.4.3 Th

A photometricsystem with a vertical light path is used to measure the varyinglight transmission as smoke accumulates.

Values determined by this test are specific to thespecimen or assembly in the form and thickness tested and arenot to be considered inherent fundamental properties of thematerial tested. Thus, it is likely that closely repeatable orreproducible experimental r

19、esults are not to be expected fromtests of a given material when specimen thickness, density, orother variables are involved.5.2 The photometric scale used to measure smoke by thistest method is similar to the optical density scale for humanvision. However, physiological aspects associated with visi

20、onare not measured by this test method. Correlation with mea-surements by other test methods has not been established.45.3 At the present time no basis is provided for predictingthe density of smoke generated by the materials upon exposureto heat and flame under other fire conditions.5.4 The test me

21、thod is of a complex nature and the dataobtained are sensitive to variations which in other test methodsmight be considered to be insignificant (see Section 6). Aprecision statement based on the results of a roundrobin test bya prior draft version of this test method is given in 14.15.5 In this proc

22、edure, the specimens are subjected to one ormore specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different testconditions are substituted or the end-use conditions arechanged, it is not always possible by or from this test methodto predict changes in the fire-test-response characteristicsmeasured. T

23、herefore, the results are valid only for the fire testexposure conditions described in this procedure.6. Limitations6.1 If during the test of one or more of the three replicatesamples there occurs such unusual behavior as (1) the speci-men falling out of the holder, (2) melted material overflowingth

24、e sample holder trough, (3) self-ignition in the pyrolysismode, (4) extinguishment of the flame tiplets (even for a shortperiod of time), or (5) a specimen being displaced from thezone of controlled irradiance, then an additional three samplesof the identical preconditioned materials shall be tested

25、 in thetest mode in which the unusual behavior occurred. Dataobtained from the improper tests noted above shall not beincorporated in the averaged data but the occurrence shall bereported. The test method is not suitable if more than three ofthe six replicates tested show these characteristics.6.2 T

26、he test method has proven sensitive to small variationsin sample geometry, surface orientation, thickness (eitheroverall or individual layer), weight, and composition. It is,therefore, critical that the replicate samples be cut, sawed, orblanked to identical sample areas, 3 by 3, +0, 0.03 in. (76.2b

27、y 76.2, +0, 0.8 mm), and that records be kept of therespective weights with the individual test data. It is feasiblethat evaluation of the obtained data together with the individualweights will assist in assessing the reasons for any observedvariability in measurements. Preselection of samples withi

28、dentical thickness or weight, or both, are potential methods toreduce the variability but are likely to not be truly indicative ofthe actual variability to be expected from the material asnormally supplied.6.3 The results of the test apply only to the thickness of thespecimen as tested. There is no

29、common mathematical formulato calculate the specific optical density of one thickness of amaterial when the specific optical density of another thicknessof the same material is known.6.4 The test method is sensitive to small variations of theposition of the specimen and radiometer relative to the ra

30、diantheat source.6.5 It is critical to clean the test chamber, and to removeaccumulated residues from the walls when changing from onetest material to another, to ensure that chemical or physicalrecombination with the effluents or residues produced does notaffect the data obtained. Even when testing

31、 the same material,excessive accumulations of residue shall not be permitted tobuild up since ruggedness tests have indicated that suchaccumulations serve as additional insulators tending to reducenormally expected condensation of the aerosol, thereby raisingthe measured specific optical density.6.6

32、 With resilient samples, take extreme care to ensure thateach replicate sample in its aluminum foil wrapper is installedso that each protrudes identically through the front sampleholder opening. Unequal protrusion will subject the samples todifferent effective irradiances and to slightly different i

33、gnitionexposures. Excessive protrusion of specimens has the potentialto cause drips or for the specimen to sag onto the burner,clogging the flame jets and thereby invalidating the test.6.7 The measurements obtained have also proven sensitiveto small differences in conditioning (see Section 9). Manym

34、aterials such as carpeting and thick sections of wood,plastics, or plywood require long periods to attain equilibrium(constant weight) even in a forced-draft humidification cham-ber.7.
