Fundamental Fire Properties From Extinction and Piloted Ignition Experiments of Solid Fuels

固体燃料熄灭和引燃实验中的基本着火特性。目前用于确定建筑材料防火性能的批准方法在产生可用于测试条件之外的情况的性能方面往往是不正确的。本计画的主要目的是借由研究固体表面附近扩散火焰的点火与熄灭过程，以获得基本的火灾特性。该项目对火焰在与空气流动相反的方向上的传播进行了详细的研究，这定义了最初的火灾增长，并且在火灾传播中很重要。该项目的成果将为新材料审批标准的制定提供科学依据，这是支持澳大利亚从规范性建筑规范向基于性能的建筑规范过渡所必需的。

Fundamental Fire Properties From Extinction and Piloted Ignition Experiments of Solid Fuels. Current approval methods for determining fire properties of construction materials are often incorrect in yielding properties that can be used in situations removed from test conditions. The main aim of this project is to obtain fundamental fire properties by examining the ignition and extinction processes of diffusion flames near solid surfaces. The project undertakes detailed study of flame spread in the direction opposite to the flow of air, which defines the initial fire growth and is important in fire propagation. Results from this project will provide scientific underpinning for the development of approval standards for new materials, which are needed to support Australia's transition from prescriptive to performance based building codes.
