Five Large-Scale Room Fire Experiments: Project 3 of the EUREFIC Fire ResearchProgramme

摘要

The purpose of the test series was to produce data for comparing the performanceof different kinds of products in a large room with their performance in various small scale tests and, especially, in the standardized Room/Corner Test (ISO DIS 9705 or NT FIRE 025). The tests were performed following the procedure of the standard Room/Corner Test as much as possible. The linings were mounted on the ceiling and on the walls of the room. A propane burner was placed in the rear corner of the room. The heat output of the burner was 100 kW for 10 minutes, 300 kW for another 10 minutes and 900 kW thereafter. The measurements included rate of heat release, rate of smoke and CO production, flow out of the open door, and heat flux, gas temperatures and surface temperatures at various locations of the room. The report is a summary of the test results and observations. Each test is described in detail. The performance of the five different products are compared by the aid of the test results. Finally, all the results of the measurements are listed as tables in the appendix of the report.
