Notizen:
Three test methods for measuring the rate of heat release, RHR, have been compared on the same building materials. The test methods are the OSU-box modified for O2-consumption, the STFI open arrangement and the NBS cone calorimeter. All methods are based on the oxygen-consumption technique. Radiation intensities up to 50 k Wm-2 have been applied. Thirteen different materials were tested. The results obtained using the three methods seem to be quite similar in spite of the different equipment used. The minor deviations observed in the results seem to be systematic and may be due to the different testing arrangements. There is a good correlation between results, e.g. total heat release up to 1min after ignition, obtained by the different methods. Additional information about the time to ignition is obtained simultaneously. Heat-release rates in the vertical and horizontal orientations are also compared in the NBS cone calorimeter.
