FIRE BEHAVIOR IN CORNER TESTS OF INTERIOR FINISH MATERIALS UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS

Ion ANGHEL, Alexandru Florin CHIOJDOIU

Abstract


In order to make a more accurate prediction of fire behavior under natural conditions, there were performed tests, using a corner configuration, the analyzed materials being wood chipboard, gypsum board, decorative polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride (wallpaper). The test space simulates the SBI (Single Burning Item) Test under modified conditions of geometry, ventilation and burner. Thus, data on flame spread use of a thermal vision camera were analyzed. It was found that, in the case of experimental tests performed with wood chipboard and polystyrene panels, the spread of flames and recorded temperatures have higher values unlike tests performed with polyvinyl chloride (wallpaper) and gypsum board, in which are recorded the lowest values.
