6. Samples for testing

6.1. For testing, 15 samples are made, having the shape of a square, with a side of 165 mm and a deviation of minus 5 mm. The thickness of the samples should be no more than 70 mm. At each value of PPTP, the tests are carried out on three samples.
6.2. During the preparation of samples, the exposed surface should not be processed.
If there are corrugations, relief, embossing, etc. on the exposed surface. the size of the protrusions (cavities) should be no more than 5 mm.
If the exposed surface does not meet the specified requirements, it is allowed to make samples for testing from a material with a flat surface, i.e. without corrugations, relief, embossing, etc.
6.3. Samples for standard testing of materials used only as finishing and facing, as well as for testing paint and varnish coatings and roofing materials, are made in combination with a non-combustible base. The fastening method must ensure close contact between the surfaces of the material and the base.
As a non-combustible base, asbestos-cement sheets according to GOST 18124 with a thickness of 10 or 12 mm should be used.
In cases where the specific technical documentation does not provide conditions for a standard test, the samples are made with the base and fastening specified in the technical documentation.
6.4. Paint and varnish coatings, as well as roofing mastics, should be applied to the base in at least four layers, while the consumption of material when applied to the base of each layer should correspond to that adopted in the technical documentation.
6.5. For materials used both independently (for example, for structures) and as finishing and facing materials, samples must be made in accordance with 6.1 (one set) and 6.3 (one set).
In this case, the tests are carried out separately for the material and separately using it as finishes and facings.
6.6. For laminates with different surface layers, make two sets of specimens (according to 6.1) in order to expose both surfaces. In this case, the flammability group of the material is set according to the worst result.
6.7. Before testing, the samples are conditioned to achieve constant weight at a temperature of 23 ± 2 °C and a relative humidity of 50 ± 5%. Mass constancy is considered achieved if, during two successive weighings with an interval of 24 hours, the difference in the mass of the samples is no more than 0.1% of the initial mass of the sample.

8.1 General

8.1.1 The purpose of calibration is to establish the values ​​of the FTDR required by this standard at the control points of the calibration sample (Figure 4 and Table 2) and the distribution of the FTDR over the surface of the sample at an air flow velocity in the chimney of (1.22 ± 0.12) m / s.

1 - calibration sample; 2 - holes for heat flow meter

Figure 4 - Calibration sample

8.1.3 Calibration is carried out during metrological certification of the installation or replacement of the heating element of the radiation panel.

8.2 Calibration procedure

8.2.1 Set the air flow rate in the chimney from 1.1 to 1.34 m/s. To do this, do the following:

An anemometer is placed in the chimney so that its inlet is located along the axis of the chimney at a distance of (70 ± 10) mm from the upper edge of the chimney. The anemometer should be rigidly fixed in the installed position;

Fix the calibration sample in the sample holder and install it on the platform, insert the platform into the chamber and close the door;

The air flow rate is measured and, if necessary, by adjusting the air flow in the ventilation system, the required air flow rate in the chimney is set in accordance with 8.1.1, after which the anemometer is removed from the chimney.

At the same time, the radiation panel and the gas burner are not included.

8.2.2 After carrying out the work according to 8.2.1, the values ​​​​of the PPTP are set in accordance with table 2. For this purpose, the following is performed:

The radiation panel is turned on and the chamber is heated until the thermal balance is reached. The heat balance is considered achieved if the temperature in the chamber (Figure 1) changes by no more than 7 ° C within 10 minutes;

Installed in the hole of the calibration sample at the control point L2(Figure 4) thermal radiation receiver so that the surface of the sensitive element coincides with the upper plane of the calibration sample. The readings of the thermal radiation receiver are recorded after (30 ± 10) s;

If the measured value of PPTP does not meet the requirements specified in Table 2, adjust the power of the radiation panel to achieve heat balance and repeat the measurement of PPTP;

The above operations are repeated until the value of the FTAP required by this standard for the control point is reached. L2.

8.2.3 The operations in 8.2.2 are repeated for control points. L1, and l3(Figure 4). If the measurement results comply with the requirements of Table 2, PPTP measurements are carried out at points located at a distance of 100, 300, 500, 700, 800 and 900 mm from the “0” point.

Based on the results of the calibration, a graph of the distribution of the values ​​of PPTP along the length of the sample is plotted.

9 Testing

9.1 Preparation of the installation for testing is carried out in accordance with 8.2.1 and 8.2.2. After that, the chamber door is opened, the gas burner is ignited and positioned so that the distance between the flame and the exposed surface is at least 50 mm.

9.2 Install the sample in the holder, fix its position with the help of fasteners, place the holder with the sample on the platform and enter into the chamber.

9.3 Close the chamber door and start the stopwatch. After holding for 2 minutes, the burner flame is brought into contact with the sample at the “0” point located along the central axis of the sample. Leave the flame in this position for (10 ± 0.2) min. After this time, return the burner to its original position.

9.4 If the sample does not ignite within 10 min, the test is considered to be completed.

If the sample ignites, the test is terminated when the flame combustion ceases or after 30 minutes from the start of exposure to the gas burner sample by forced extinguishing.

During the test, the ignition time and the duration of flame burning are recorded.

9.5 After the end of the test, the chamber door is opened, the platform is pulled out, and the sample is removed.

The test of each subsequent sample is carried out after the sample holder has cooled to room temperature and compliance with the FTAP at the point L2 the requirements specified in table 2.

9.6 Measure the length of the damaged part of the sample along its longitudinal axis for each of the five samples. Measurements are carried out with an accuracy of 1 mm.

Damage is considered to be burnout and charring of the sample material as a result of the spread of fiery combustion over its surface. Melting, warping, sintering, swelling, shrinkage, change in color, shape, violation of the integrity of the sample (tears, surface chips, etc.) are not damage.

10 Processing of test results

10.1 The length of flame propagation is determined as the arithmetic mean of the length of the damaged part of the five samples.

10.2 The value of PPDC is set on the basis of the results of measuring the length of flame propagation (10.1) according to the plot of the distribution of PPDC over the surface of the sample, obtained during the calibration of the installation.

10.3 In the absence of ignition of the specimens or the flame propagation length is less than 100 mm, it should be considered that the material's CTF is more than 11 kW/m2.

10.4 In the case of forced extinguishing of the sample after 30 minutes of testing, the value of PPTP is determined by the results of measuring the flame propagation length at the moment of extinguishing and conditionally take this value equal to the critical one.

10.5 For materials with anisotropic properties, the smallest of the obtained values ​​of the CTP is used in the classification.
