Book Flammability Handbook for Plastics  Fifth Edition

Download or read book Flammability Handbook for Plastics Fifth Edition written by Carlos J. Hilado and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-05-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE INTRODUCTION "Considerable effort has gone into the study of various aspects of flammability and of various plastic materials, so that these materials which are proving so useful to man will always be used in ways which will not compromise his safety. The task is a continuing one, because the family of plastics continues to grow, and, along with it, its variety of applications. Some of these future applications cannot even be conceived of at the present time. The needs of man and his society are changing, and with them the factors that affect his safety, comfort, and convenience. A flammability handbook for plastics must necessarily involve a variety of sciences and technologies spread across the whole spectrum of human knowledge, and it is impossible to discuss all the subjects in great depth. Any details extracted for attention are brought because they are believed to be significant to the overall effort to make plastics as useful and safe as humanly possible."

Book Fire Testing of Furniture in the Cone Calorimeter

Download or read book Fire Testing of Furniture in the Cone Calorimeter written by Vytenis Babrauskas and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new method has been developed for testing upholstered furniture speciments according to ISO 5660 or ASTM E 1354 (Cone Calorimeter) standards. This method provides supplementary instructions for speciment preparation and other aspects of testing upholstered furniture composites which are not covered under the basic ISO 5660/ASTM E 1354 procedures. The new method provides for a significant improvement over the procedures described in the first edition of ASTM E 1474. Provisions are included for testing composites which include protective interliners and those which use loose-filling materials. The method also includes the testing of mattress composites.
