ASTM E2058-13

Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Synthetic Polymer Material Flammability Using a Fire Propagation Apparatus (FPA)

1.1 This fire-test-response standard determines and quantifies synthetic polymer material flammability characteristics, related to the propensity of materials to support fire propagation, by means of a fire propagation apparatus (FPA). Material flammability characteristics that are quantified include time to ignition (tign), chemical ( Q??chem), and convective ( Q??c) heat release rates, mass loss rate ( m??) and effective heat of combustion (EHC).

1.2 The following test methods, capable of being performed separately and independently, are included herein:

1.2.1 Ignition Test, to determine tign for a horizontal specimen;

1.2.2 Combustion Test, to determine Q??chem, Q??c, m??, and EHC from burning of a horizontal specimen; and,

1.2.3 Fire Propagation Test, to determine Q??chem from burning of a vertical specimen.
