Abstract
The project aimed to develop a reduced scale test protocol designed to be repeatable and capable of providing the upward fire evaluation for assessing fire risk on external thermal insulation composite system facade samples. The variation of heat flux is simulated by radiant panel. This experimental setup permits the recording of dynamic variables in flame propagation, such as ignition time, flame extinguishing time, and variations in both surface and back temperatures of the insulation panel. Notably, the measurement of back temperature provides a means to assess the thermal insulation efficiency of the external thermal insulation composite system facade. Furthermore, the fire spreading temperature is collected during the test could also be useful for larger-scale testing.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
