Recently, a large fire has occurred through a dry bit, which is a flammable exterior material, in Daebong Green Apartment Fire in Uijeongbu in 2015 and Jecheon Sports Center Fire in 2017. In this study, KS F ISO 5660-1 Cone calorimeter experiment was used to examine the fire risk of dry bit. Also, the performance of the repair and reinforcement materials to prevent fire expansion was examined. As a result, the dry bit is likely to be ignited by internal and external flower gardens, and its combustion rate and calorific value are very high. In addition, the performance of heat resistance such as ALC panel and ceramic board as a repair and reinforcement material has been proved. However, the insulation is expected to require further consideration.

Effects of ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/polypropylene (PP), zinc oxide, stearic acid, and clay on the combustive properties based on EPDM/PP were investigated. The EPDM/PP/clay nanocomposites was compounded to prepare specimen for combustive analysis by cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). It was found that the combustive properties in the nanocomposites decreased due to the fire resistance compared with unfilld EDPM/PP. The nanocomposites showed the lower peak heat release rate (PHRR) than that of virgin EPDM/PP, while stearic acid for softening ruber increased the mean heat release rate (MHRR) by itself, combustible.

This study was performed to test the flame retardancy of zelkova sarrata-based materials by the treatment of ammonium salts. Zelkova sarrata plate was soaked by the treatment with three 20 wt% ammonium salt solutions consisting ammonium chloride (AMSL), monoammonium phosphate (MAPP), and diammonium phosphate (DAPP), respectively, at the room temperature. After the drying specimen treated with chemicals, combustion properties were examined by the cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). When the ammonium salts were used as the retardant for zelkova sarrata, the flame retardancy improved due to the treated ammonium salts in the virgin zelkova sarrata. However the specimen shows increasing CO over virgin zelkova sarrata and It is supposed that toxicities depend on extents. Also, the specimen with ammonium salts showed the higher total smoke release (TSR) than that of virgin plate. Of specimens treated with ammonium salts the ammonium chloride handled the test side was considered a improved inhibitory effect of combustion.

We generally get the Heat Release Rate by two other method. One is the calculation method from the Oxygen consumption rate and another is the calibration curve method of Temperature rising rate. In this study we compare the results of both test methods with five same specimens. From the test result we get the difference of reproducibility and checked some reasons of the difference. This paper includes some points to be careful for more creditable results for each test method.

Experimental comparison was done for measuring Heat Release Rate and Smoke Production Rate of electric motor car's interior panels using cone calorimeter. Radiative heat flux of $50kW/m^2$ was used to simulate the condition of fully developed fire case in the tests. It was observed that Heat Release Rate and Smoke Production Rate curves were shown differently according to interior materials. From experiment's results we can deduce that materials having higher rate of heat release smolder more smoke. It needs to establish fire risk propensity of each material and to set up the standards urgently.

본 연구에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 건축물 내의 화장실 칸막이 재료를 대상으로 ISO 5660-1 콘칼로리미터(Cone calorimeter) 실험을 실시하여 대상 실험 재료들의 연소 특성을 비교 평가 하였다. 모두 5종류의 실험체를 사용하였으며, 화재 발생시 연소 중요 평가항목인 착화시간(Time to ignition), 총 방출열량(Total heat release), 최고 열방출율(Peak heat release rate), 평균 열방출율(Mean heat release rate)을 중점적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과, 착화시간은 일반 합판패널에서 빠르게 일어났으며, 총 방출열량, 최고 열방출율, 평균 열방출율은 고밀도 압축패널에서 높게 나타난 것으로 분석되었다.

The cone calorimeter as defined by ISO 5660, ASTM 1354, and NFPA 264A is used to assess the reaction to fire of almost any material that must be evaluated in the fire science field. Typical combustion gas analyses include oxygen, CO and CO2. Oxygen consumption is used to determine rate of heat release. Analysis of combustion gases other than oxygen, CO and CO2 has been attempted using filters to remove the solid smoke particles before analysis. This method has generated unreliable results due to the adsorption of many gas components on the active carbon . particles deposited on the filters. A technique using fourier Transform Infrared (FTIB) analysis without filtration will be disclosed and a discussion will be presented of the analytical results of toxic gases produced from various flame retarded polymeric materials. Use of such data in lethal toxic potency determinations is also reviewed.

현재 국내의 주요 샌드위치패널 화재안전성능 평가방법에는 Cone calorimeter (연소성능) 및 가스유해성 시험방법이 있지만 샌드위치패널의 경우 불연재질 속 심재의 연소특성을 측정하여 실제 화재에서의 연소거동을 예측하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 스티로폼 패널의 화재 안전성 연구를 위해서 ISO 9705 시험(Room Corner Test)을 실시하였다. 실험결과 두 시편 모두 시험이 진행되고 약 12분 정도, 버너의 열량이 100 kW에서 300 kW로 진행되는 시점에서 천정부가 붕괴되어 스티로폼 샌드위치 패널의 구조적인 문제점이 발생되었다. 스티로폼 샌드위치 패널은 내부 심재에 화염이 전파되었을 경우 급속한 화염의 전파 속도로 인해 구조적인 문제점을 발생되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 향후 이와 같은 스티로폼 샌드위치 패널의 실물 화재 시험에 따른 연구 결과들이 화재안전 성능 등급 분류 기준 설정에 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

This study building materials by relates to human hazard assessment in accordance with the combustion gas SEM, the flame-retardant foam FTIR and cone calorimeter to configure the Forest products of MDF and preservative treated Lauan two kinds of Retardant styrofoam, Styrofoam, Urethane foam and gypsum board four kinds of plastics material by the combustion gas were each analyzed. MDF was burned to the structure of the wood and the glue evenly mixed combustion area preservative treated Lauan, kept constant even in the form of high heat to penetrate deep into the wood flame retardant agents. Retardant styrofoam is due to feed my Dropped dissolved inorganic flame retardant without the fire-stick and confirmed that the weak form of gypsum board, but keep the column. In MDF ammonia ($NH_3$), lethal concentration (750 ppm) compared to 795 ppm, preservative treated Lauan is carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) that was greater than 2.5 times the lethal concentration (100,000 ppm) to 256,965 ppm, the lethal concentration (500 ppm) of hydrogen chloride (HCl). The Urethane greater than 697 ppm, 434 ppm also greatly exceeding the nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) lethal concentration (250 ppm) in Retardant styrofoam and 398 ppm was released. It is confirmed that the human body is extremely harmful gas emitted from most of the materials to be utilized as basic data for evaluating the hazard-specific human future building material.

This study is an analysis of combustion characteristics of synthetic insulation materials such as houses and warehouses. Using combustion cone calorimeter and SEM, the researching has experimented combustion characteristics of four kinds of materials such as flame retardant styrofoam, general styrofoam, urethane and gypsum board. And analyzed. As a result of the test, the ignition time (TTI) for the thermal insulation material was found at 27 s~43 s, and the flame retardant styrofoam was ignited at the lowest TTI at 27 s and disappears at 28 s. In addition, the maximum heat release rate (peak HRR) and average heat release rate (mean HRR) of each material were expressed in the following order: urethane> flame retardant styrofoam> styrofoam> gypsum board. Also, the total smoke release ($m^2/m^2$) was the largest at $30.798m^2/m^2$ in flame-retardant styrofoam. The general CO concentration of styrofoam was 0.275 kg/kg and the emission concentration was 12.807 kg/kg. The residues showed the highest 0.029 g in the gypsum board among the above materials.
