초록

연소성 물질의 화재위험성 평가를 하기 위하여 Chung's equations-X, Chung's equations-XI, 그리고 Chung's equation-XII 를 새로 정립하였다. 화재위험성지수-XII (fire risk index-XII, FRI-XII)와 화재위험성등급(fire risk rating, FRR)을 산정하였다. 시험편은 녹나무, 벚나무, 고무나무, 느릅나무를 선택하였다. 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 사용하여 시험편에 대한 연소 특성을 시험하였다. Chung's equations에 의해 산정된 화재성능지수-X (fire performance index-X, FPI-X)과 화재성장지수-X (fire growth index-X, FGI-X)은 각각 89.34~1696.75 s2/kW와 0.0006~0.0107 kW/s2 로 나타났다. 또한 화재성능지수-XI (fire performance index-XI, FPI-XI)과 화재성장지수-XI (fire growth index-XI, FGI-XI)은 각각 0.08~1.48과 0.67~11.89으로 나타났다. 화재위험성 등급인 화재위험성지수-XII (FRI-XII)는 녹나무가 148.63 (화재위험성등급: G)으로 화재위험성이 매우 높은 목재로 나타났다. 그러므로 휘발성 유기 화합물을 다량 함유하고 있는 연소성 물질은 FPI-X과 FPI-XI이 낮아지고, FGI-X과 FGI-XI이 높아짐에 의하여 FRI-XII가 높은 값을 나타내었다.

The evaluation of fire risk for combustible materials was carried out using Chung's equations-X, Chung's equations-XI, and Chung's equation-XII, which were newly established. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII) and fire risk rating (FRR) were calculated for specimens including camphor tree, cherry, rubber tree, and elm. The combustion characteristics were determined using a cone calorimeter according to ISO 5660-1. Chung's equations caculated the fire performance index-X (FPI-X) and fire growth index-X (FGI-X) values ranged from 89.34 to 1696.75 s2 /kW and from 0.0006 to 0.0107 kW/s2 , respectively. In addition, the fire performance index-XI (FPI-XI) and fire growth index-XI (FGI-XI) varied from 0.08 to 1.48 and from 0.67 to 11.89, respectively. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII), which is an indicator of fire risk, showed that camphor tree had a value of 148.63 (fire risk rating: G), indicating a very high fire risk. This suggests that combustible materials with a high concentration of volatile organic compounds have lower FPI-X and FPI-XI values, higher FGI-X and FGI-XI values, and consequently higher FRI-XII values, indicating an increased fire risk.
