SYSTEM FOR THE PERFORMANCE AT SCALE OF FIRE TESTS IN TRAIN WAGON

摘要

System for the realization of fire tests in a train car, which uses a scale model and is characterized in that said model allows the realization of fire tests simulating different fire conditions both inside and outside the train car for the study of fire behavior. It consists of: a) A frame (1) composed of frames (11) and stringers (12); and an outer shell (2) composed of outer walls (21), roof (22) and floor (23) with support for the seats (6) and the test materials; and with an access door (7) to the interior of the model and removable windows (5) that allow the penetration of fire in case of external fires and the simulation of different ventilation conditions; and b) Test measuring equipment that allows to obtain readings of the main parameters that characterize the evolution of the fire and the combustion phenomenon during the performance of the tests.
