Revisiting the “Steiner Tunnel” test method covered under ASTM E84: An overview and analysis of the test method
The “Steiner Tunnel” test, which is standardized under ASTM E84 and UL 723, is used to comparatively assess surface-burning characteristics, namely, flame spread and smoke release from a wide range of building materials and assemblies. While the method is well known to fire safety engineers, it is not as well understood by material scientists who develop new fire safe materials that will meet this test. Understanding how the test measures flammability and smoke is critical to designing materials that can meet requirements that reference E84 and UL 723. This article primarily discusses the ASTM E84 test, discusses the history of the method, how it measures flame spread and smoke release, and how mounting samples in the test method affects flame spread and smoke release. Finally, there is discussion on test methods that could be used for qualitative screening tools for materials developed for the E84 test.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Fire Sciences is a leading journal for the reporting of significant fundamental and applied research that brings understanding of fire chemistry and fire physics to fire safety. Its content is aimed toward the prevention and mitigation of the adverse effects of fires involving combustible materials, as well as development of new tools to better address fire safety needs. The Journal of Fire Sciences covers experimental or theoretical studies of fire initiation and growth, flame retardant chemistry, fire physics relative to material behavior, fire containment, fire threat to people and the environment and fire safety engineering. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
