Large-scale generation and characterisation of fire effluents
(2010) p.461-514- Abstract
The characterisation of fire effluents from large-scale fire tests is important for assessing the risks associated with specific scenarios regarding buildings and transport, and also for validation of effluent data from small-scale tests. This chapter describes some of the most important standard large-scale test scenarios and modifications of these tests including gas analysis. It will further describe some specially designed tests with a focus on how these tests can be used to obtain information concerning the emission of toxic species. The standard tests described include tests with building materials, cables and tests of extinguishing systems on ships. The specially designed tests discussed include various tests with land vehicles,... (More)
The characterisation of fire effluents from large-scale fire tests is important for assessing the risks associated with specific scenarios regarding buildings and transport, and also for validation of effluent data from small-scale tests. This chapter describes some of the most important standard large-scale test scenarios and modifications of these tests including gas analysis. It will further describe some specially designed tests with a focus on how these tests can be used to obtain information concerning the emission of toxic species. The standard tests described include tests with building materials, cables and tests of extinguishing systems on ships. The specially designed tests discussed include various tests with land vehicles, marine vehicles and different industrial applications. A discussion of methods for sampling and analysing toxic species of interest with a focus on large-scale applications is also included.
