Comparative Data from LIFT and Cone Calorimeter Tests on 6 Products, Including Flame Flux Measurements.

摘要

Six materials with widely varying thermophysical properties have been tested in two tests: the LIFT test (ASTM E 1321-90) and the Cone Calorimeter (ISO 5660; ASTM E 1354). In addition to standard measurements, diagnostic instrumentation comprising heat flux meters and thermocouples were incorporated in the LIFT tests. LIFT test runs were made both using delayed piloting (pre-heating) and without. There have been few reports in the literature of products tested where both Cone Calorimeter and LIFT results were presented; of those, none included additional instrumentation for quantifying flame fluxes. Thus, the data set presented here should be a significant help in fire modeling efforts aimed at optimizing the utilization of test data.
