Mobile Home Research: Development of Mobile Home Fire Test Methods to Judge the Fire-Safe Performance of Foam Plastic Sheathing and Cavity Insulation
Federal standards do not permit plastic thermal insulating materials to be used in the construction of mobile homes unless first approved by HUD, based on acceptance tests including full room scale fire testing. The purpose of full room scale fire testing is to evaluate the performance, under fire load, of room modules constructed with the proposed foam plastic insulating system by comparing the results of that system to the performance of a room module constructed with conventional materials. Since traditional fire test methods were found inadequate for this purpose, the IIT Research Institute developed under contract more realistic fire tests through experimental investigation. This report presents the results of the study to develop test methods representing other plausible fire scenarios in which cavity insulation and sheathing in the walls and ceiling of mobile homes may impact life safety or contribute to significant property damage. The program report is divided into the study of three major fire scenarios: (1) fires originating in usually habited spaces, (2) electrical fires originating in wall cavities, and (3) electrical fires originating in ceiling cavities. The studies were conducted concurrently.
