Characterization of combustion products under flaming and non-flaming conditions
The combustibility behavior of a variety of natural, synthetic, and multi-component materials common to modern residential settings was characterized under both non-flaming and flaming conditions. Measured combustion properties included weight loss rate, heat and smoke release rates via ASTM E 1354 cone calorimeter. A particle spectrometer and a gas-phase FTIR (fourier transform infrared spectrometer) were coupled to the cone calorimeter to measure smoke particle size and count distributions and effluent gases generated during the combustion process. The particle spectrometer has a size range of 0.01 to 10 micron, permitting measurement of particles smaller than those observable using light-based measurement devices. The gas-phase FTIR was equipped with a 10 meter path cell enabling measurement sensitivities as low as 0.1 ppm over the 400 to 4,000 cm-1 wavenumber range. Samples were selected based on material chemistry and prevalence in residential settings.
