This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invaluable asset for manufacturers, suppliers, architectural firms, specifiers, and others who need to know which test standards have to be complied with to satisfy the codes and code officials. Fire Code Requirements for Contract Fabrics and Furnishings Used in Public Buildings is the authoritative guide to fire tests required of all furnishings and contents used in public buildings. Citing various federal, state, local, and industry voluntary standards that apply to textiles, foams, plastics, and composites used in carpeting/floor-coverings, draperies, mattress, upholstered furniture, and wall-coverings (interior finish.) This book describes tests ranging from cigarette ignition resistance to fill-scale room fire tests. Learn the basics of each fire test including the values needed to pass the tests. Each summary is accompanied by an easy to read sketch which gives the reader a clear indication what a product must undergo during the test. Summaries and sketches are derived from standards issued by ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials), ICC (International Code Council), NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission), City of Boston, Canada/ULC, and the State of California, and federal requirements contained in the two major model building codes promulgated by NFPA and ICC.

Download or read book Fire Behavior of Upholstered Furniture and Mattresses written by John Krasny and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-05 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flammability of upholstered furniture is a major concern to engineers and others across a wide swath of organizations. This book was written to provide its audience with the science and engineering needed to better understand the combustibility of the products they manufacture, purchase, and try to extinguish. It addresses the science and engineering information needs of public and private sector fire technology personnel, including fire service students and officers, fire investigators, fire protection engineers, government officials; textile, chemical, and furniture industry personnel, or institutional furniture purchasers.

Download or read book Fire Research and Fire Safety written by JW. Lyons and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past century, efforts to control and reduce fire losses have concentrated successively on conflagrations destroying entire cities, large sections of cities, or large buildings, and, finally, on fires in the room of origin or in family residences. The first effort created effective fire departments, the second, the fire endurance concepts now an important part of the nation's building codes, and the third, now in full development, has produced research programs on interior finish, furnishings, and other consumer products. This current effort to protect occupants in the room of fire origin or in family residences is proving to be the most challenging and complex, technically and socially, of the three. These occupancies vary in materials used, configuration of the rooms, and placement of an infinite variety of movable contents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given its importance to consumer safety, fire resistant textiles are one of the fastest growing sectors in industrial textiles. Handbook of fire resistant textiles provides a comprehensive review of the considerable advances that have occurred in the field of fire resistant textiles in recent years. It draws together scientific and technical expertise from around the world to produce an important source of current knowledge on fire resistant textiles and their use for protection in hostile environments. Part one provides an overview of fire resistant textiles. Chapters discuss burning and combustion mechanisms of textile fibers, chemical modification of natural and synthetic fibers to improve flame retardancy, multi-component flame resistant coating techniques for textiles, care and maintenance of fire resistant textiles, along with the safety, health and environmental aspects of flame retardants. Part two covers different types of fire resistant fibers and fabrics, including flame retardant cotton, wool, ceramic fibers and blends, composites and nonwovens. Part three reviews standards, regulations, and characterization of fire resistant textiles. Part four includes case studies of major applications of fire resistant textiles. The Handbook of fire resistant textiles is an invaluable resource for a broad spectrum of professionals in the textiles and apparel industries, including textile and garment manufacturers, engineers, researchers, designers, developers and buyers.

This book was released on 2006-01-31 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineers need to be able to test the flammability of the materials they use in buildings and other structures. However, the range of test procedures and regulations in this important area is often confusing. Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining provides an authoritative guide to current best practice in ensuring safe design.The book begins by defining flammability and the main types of test available. Building on this foundation, a group of chapters then reviews tests for key materials used in buildings and their contents. There are chapters on wood, external cladding and sandwich panels as well as the flammability of walls and ceilings. Tests for furniture fabrics, cables and electrical appliances are also reviewed. A final group of chapters discusses other types of test, particularly in the transport sector, including chapters on flammability testing for railway passenger cars, aircraft, road and rail tunnels.With its distinguished international team of contributors, Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining is a standard reference for civil and transport engineers in particular. An authoritative guide to best practice in ensuring safe design Defines flammability and the main types of test available A vital reference source for civil and transport engineers
