Determination method

Determination of the smoke generation coefficient, and accordingly the smoke-forming ability of combustible building materials, is carried out in accordance with the requirements of clause 4.18 of GOST 12.1.044-89. The essence of the method for determining the smoke generation coefficient is to determine the optical density of the smoke formed during the combustion or smoldering of a known amount of the test substance or material distributed in a given volume. In other words, the weakening of illumination as light passes through a smoky space is photometrically recorded.

1 – combustion chamber; 2 – sample holder; 3 – quartz glass window; 4, 7 – purge valves; 5 – light receiver; 6 – measurement chamber; 8 – quartz glass; 9 – light source; 10 – safety membrane; 11 – fan; 12 – guide visor; 13 – pilot burner; 14 – liner; 15 – electric heating panel

The figure shows a diagram of the installation for determining the smoke generation coefficient. The combustion chamber with a capacity of 3 × 10 -3 m 3 is made of stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 2.0 ± 0.1 mm. It has upper and lower openings with a cross section of 30x160 mm, connecting it to the smoke chamber. On the side surface of the combustion chamber there is a quartz glass window for observing the sample during testing. The combustion chamber contains a sample holder and a closed electric heating panel mounted on the upper wall of the chamber at an angle of 45° to the horizontal. The sample holder is made in the form of a frame measuring 100x100x10 mm and is mounted on the chamber door at a distance of 60 mm from the panel parallel to its surface. An asbestosite liner is installed in the holder, in the center of which there is a recess for placing the sample. A gas burner is installed above the sample holder. When testing materials in combustion mode, the burner flame touches the surface of the top of the sample.

The smoke chamber measuring 800x800x800 mm is made of stainless steel sheet. The inner walls of the chamber are covered with black paper. In the upper wall and bottom of the chamber there are holes for purge return valves, an illuminator and a safety membrane. Inside the chamber there is a device for vertical movement of the photocell and a two-blade fan for mixing the smoke.

Tests are carried out in two modes: thermal-oxidative decomposition (smoldering) and flame combustion. The thermal-oxidative decomposition (smoldering) mode is ensured by heating the sample surface to 400 °C, with a heat flux density of 18 kW/m2. Materials whose heat resistance is above 400 °C are tested when heated to 600 °C, the heat flux density is 38 kW/m2. In all cases, materials shall not spontaneously ignite when tested. The flame combustion mode is ensured by using a gas burner and heating the surface of the sample to 750 °C, with a heat flux density of 65 kW/m2. To measure the heat flux density, a metal calorimetric type sensor is used.

When setting up the installation, the voltage supplied to the electric heating panel is determined to ensure the specified test modes. To do this, insert into the holder an insert with a control sample made of asbestos cement (40x40x10 mm), in the center of which a thermocouple is fixed. The combustion chamber door is closed and voltage is applied to the coils of the electric heating panel. A potentiometer is used to control stabilized heating conditions.

When testing in the flame combustion mode, insert an insert with an asbestos-cement sample into the holder, close both chambers, and apply the voltage selected for this mode to the coils of the electric heating panel. After the panel reaches stabilized heating conditions, turn on the illuminator, measuring device lux meter, mixing fan. Then the combustion chamber is opened, the liner with the asbestos-cement sample is removed, the gas burner is lit, and the chamber is closed. Purge the smoke chamber for 1 minute. The illuminator is adjusted by diaphragms, setting the illumination to 100 lux, and the diameter of the light beam equal to the diameter of the photosensitive surface of the photocell. The prepared sample of the test material is placed in a liner at room temperature, the combustion chamber door is opened, the liner is inserted into the holder without delay and the door is closed. The duration of the test is determined by the time it takes to reach the minimum illumination, but not more than 15 minutes.

When testing in smoldering mode, do not ignite the gas burner, install an insert with an asbestos-cement sample, and apply the appropriate voltage to the electric heating panel. The testing procedure is similar to the procedure established for the flame combustion mode. Five samples of material are tested in each mode. Based on the results of each test, the smoke generation coefficient D is calculated T max by formula:

D tmax = (V / L× m) ln(E / Emin),

V– capacity of the smoke chamber, m3;

L– length of the light path in a smoke-filled space, m;

T– mass of the sample of the material under study, kg;

In(E/Emin)– optical density of smoke;

E / Emin– initial and minimum illumination, respectively, lux.

For each series of tests, the arithmetic mean of at least five values ​​of the smoke generation coefficient is calculated. The final result is taken as higher value of two arithmetic averages.

Protocol for determining the smoke coefficient can be downloaded.


Smoke-forming ability is the ability of substances and materials to emit smoke during combustion or thermal decomposition.

According to Part 9 of Article 13 Federal Law No. 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements” regarding smoke-generating ability, combustible building materials, depending on the value of the smoke generation coefficient, are divided into the following groups:

  1. With low smoke-forming ability (D1), having a smoke-formation coefficient of less than 50 square meters per kilogram
  2. With moderate smoke-generating ability (D2), having a smoke generation coefficient of at least 50, but not more than 500 square meters per kilogram
  3. With high smoke-forming ability (S), having a smoke generation coefficient of more than 500 square meters per kilogram

In accordance with Table 27 of Federal Law No. 123-FZ of July 22, 2008 “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements”, a number of building materials in mandatory must be tested to determine the smoke emission coefficient. Such materials include finishing and cladding materials for walls and ceilings, including paint coatings, varnish enamels, floor covering materials, carpet floor coverings and thermal insulation materials.

The essence of the method is based on the property of weakening the flow of light (illumination) when passing through a layer of smoke formed as a result of thermal decomposition or combustion hard materials and substances. The amount of attenuation of the light flux is recorded using a photometric system.

To conduct tests at the Federal State Budgetary Institution SEU FPS IPL in the Republic of Mordovia, it is necessary to provide 10–15 samples of the test material with dimensions of 40×40 mm and actual thickness, but not more than 10 mm (for foam plastic samples, thickness up to 15 mm is allowed). Paint and varnish and film coatings are tested applied to the same base as used in the actual design. If the area of ​​application of varnishes and paints is unknown, then they are tested applied to aluminum foil 0.2 mm thick.

Before testing, prepared samples are kept at a temperature of (20±2) °C for at least 48 hours, then weighed with an error of no more than 0.01 g. The samples must characterize the average properties of the material being tested.

Testing of samples is carried out in a thermophysical laboratory at the “Smoke” testing facility.

Installation appearance

Testing of samples is carried out in two modes: in smoldering mode and in combustion mode using a gas burner. Five samples are tested in each mode.

The results are processed according to the GOST 12.1.044-89 methodology.

The smoke generation coefficient Dm in m 2 kg -1 is calculated by the formula:

where V is the capacity of the measurement chamber, m3; L – path length of a light beam in a smoky environment, m; m – sample mass, kg; T0, Tmin – respectively, the values ​​of the initial and final light transmission, %.

For each test mode, the smoke generation coefficient is determined as the arithmetic average of the results of five tests.

The smoke generation coefficient of the material under study is taken to be the larger value of the smoke generation coefficient calculated for the two test modes.

After testing and payment of the test cost, fire testing laboratory employees prepare reporting documentation.

Carrying out the test

Place the sample in the holder, fix its position using fastening devices, place the holder with the sample on the platform and insert it into the chamber.

Close the camera door and start the stopwatch. After holding for 2 minutes, the burner flame is brought into contact with the sample at point “0,” located along the central axis of the sample. Leave the flame in this position for (10±0.2) minutes. After this time, return the burner to its original position.

If the sample does not ignite within 10 minutes, the test is considered complete.

If the sample ignites, the test is completed when the flame combustion ceases or after 30 minutes have passed from the start of exposure of the sample to the gas burner by forced extinguishing.

During the test, the ignition time and duration of flame combustion are recorded.

Measure the length of the damaged part of the sample along its longitudinal axis for each of the five samples. Measurements are carried out with an accuracy of 1 mm.

Damage is considered to be burnout and charring of the sample material as a result of the spread of flame combustion over its surface. Melting, warping, sintering, swelling, shrinkage, changes in color, shape, or violation of the integrity of the sample (tears, surface chips, etc.) are not considered damage.

The flame propagation length is determined as the arithmetic mean along the length of the damaged part of five samples.

The value of the KPPTP is established based on the results of measuring the flame propagation length

Smoke coefficient

Smoke generation coefficient is an indicator characterizing the optical density of smoke generated during flaming combustion or thermal-oxidative destruction (smoldering) of a certain amount of solid substance (material) under special test conditions.

The smoke production coefficient value should be used to classify materials according to their smoke generation ability. There are three groups of materials:

with low smoke-generating ability - smoke generation coefficient

up to 50 m 2 kg -1 inclusive;

with moderate smoke-forming ability - smoke production coefficient

St. 50 to 500 m 2 kg -1 inclusive;

with high smoke-generating ability - smoke generation coefficient

St. 500 m 2 kg -1.

The smoke emission factor value must be included in the standards or specifications for solids and materials.

The essence of the method for determining the smoke generation coefficient is to determine the optical density of the smoke formed during the combustion or smoldering of a known amount of the test substance or material distributed in a given volume.


Installation for determining the smoke generation coefficient

1 - the combustion chamber; 2 - sample holder; 3 - quartz glass window; 4, 7 - purge valves; 5 - light receiver; 6 - measurement chamber; 8 - quartz glass; 9 - Light source; 10 - safety membrane; 11 - fan: 12 - guide visor; 13 - pilot burner: 14- liner; 15 -electric heating panel.

For testing, prepare 10 - 15 samples of the test material with dimensions (40x40) mm and actual thickness, but not more than 10 mm (for foam samples, thickness up to 15 mm is allowed). Paint and varnish and film coatings are tested applied to the same base as used in the actual design. If the area of ​​application of varnishes and paints is unknown, then they are tested applied to aluminum foil 0.2 mm thick.

Before testing, the prepared samples are kept at a temperature of (20±2) °C for at least 48 hours, then weighed with an error of no more than 0.01 g. The samples must characterize the average properties of the material being tested.

Testing of samples is carried out in two modes: in smoldering mode and in combustion mode using a gas burner (burner flame length 10 - 15 mm).

The prepared sample is placed in a stainless steel boat. Open the door of the combustion chamber and, without delay, install the boat with the sample in the holder, after which the door is closed.

The test is stopped when the minimum light transmittance value is reached.

In the case where the minimum value of light transmission is outside the working range or is close to its boundaries, it is possible to reduce the path length of the light beam (the distance between the source and the light receiver) or change the sample dimensions.

When tested in smoldering mode, samples should not spontaneously ignite. In the case of spontaneous ignition of the sample, subsequent tests are carried out at a heat flux density value reduced by 5 kW m -2. The heat flux density is reduced until the spontaneous ignition of the sample stops during testing.

Five samples are tested in each mode.

The smoke generation coefficient (D m) in m 2 kg -1 is calculated using the formula

Where V- capacity of the measurement chamber, m 3 ;

L- path length of a light beam in a smoky environment, m;

m- sample mass, kg;

T 0,T min- respectively, the values ​​of the initial and final light transmission, %.
