Book excerpt: Excerpt from Furniture Flammability, an Investigation of the California Technical Bulletin 133 Test, Vol. 1: Measuring the Hazards of Furniture Fires In Fiscal Year 1989 the Congress requested a study on ignition of upholstered furniture. The desire was to provide a sound technical basis for a test method to measure the fire hazard of upholstered furniture subject to flaming ignition. This need was prompted by the increasing concern for fire safety in public occupancies and the development and interest in the use of California Technical Bulletin 133 [171. The short range objectives of this study are reported in a three part series listed below: Furniture Flammability: An Investigation of the California Technical Bulletin 133 Test.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Furniture Flammability, Vol. 3: An Investigation of the California Technical Bulletin 133 Test; Full Scale Chair Burns Furniture manufacturers, suppliers to the furniture industry, and representative associations of the furniture industry were surveyed prior to the selection of the materials. This was done in order to determine representative material combinations. This study however, does not include blends of fabrics wool nylon which represent a large percentage of the fabrics utilized in the contract furnishings market. The flammability characteristics of blended fibers and fabrics are much more complex and not within the scope of this work. The intent of this study was to assess the technical merits of TB 133, not to evaluate the state of the art in flame retardant upholstered materials. The material combinations tested in the full-scale upholstered furniture tests were based upon the use of two foam types, a fiberglass interliner, and four fabrics. The foams investigated were melamine-treated polyurethane foam and a polyurethane foam that had passed the California Bulletin 117 test. The four fabrics were nylon, polyolefin, a fire retardant polyvinylchloride, and wool. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Ten sets of upholstered chairs were obtained. One chair out of each set was tested in the ASTM room, two chairs out of each set were tested in the furniture calorimeter, and four chairs from each of six sets in the California Technical Bulletin 133 (TB133) room. The chairs in the different sets varied only in the type of fabric, type of foam, and whether or not there was a fiberglass interliner present. The size, frame and style remained constant. Some of the chairs were ignited with the standard TB133 newspaper ignition source. The others were ignited by a gas burner designed to simulate the newspaper ignition source. The rooms were instrumented to measure the total heat release rate of the chairs by oxygen consumption. It was found that (1) similar results were obtained in the TB133 and ASTM rooms,.(2) a total heat release rate of 65 Kw in either of the rooms or in the furniture calorimeter was equivalent to the failure criterion of a 111 deg.C (200 deg.F) temperature rise 25 mm below the ceiling and directly above the burning chair in the TB133 test and (3) below 600 kW the heat release rates of the chairs measured in the rooms were the same as those in the furniture calorimeter. The combinations of fabric, fiberglass interliner and foam were also tested in the Cone calorimeter. Correlations are presented between the full scale and bench scale results. Calculations of the room temperatures, using Hazard I and the measured heat release rates, are also shown.

Book excerpt: The hazards due to furniture fires are examined. These include ignition of an adjoining item, flashover, CO toxicity, and reduced visibility as a result of smoke. Theoretical analyses are given to quantify the hazards, and typical parametric values are given for several materials representative of a range of fire performance. Results are presented in terms of conditions at the flame tip, at the onset of flashover, and for a ventilation-limited fire. Critical hazard measurements are identified, and an illustration is given on how to characterize the hazards. Finally, a critical review of the measurements used in the California Technical Bulletin 133 is made, and recommendations for improvements are offered.

Book excerpt: The California Bulletin 133 upholstery ignition source is based on the use of crumpled newsprint. The present work examined the reproducibility of several aspects of this source when placed on an inert chair mock-up. The tendency of this source to heat the side arms of a chair, the area of the seat back subjected to high heat fluxes, the peak flux there and the flux duration all showed substantial variability. For inherently lesser variability a gas burner is preferred. A gas burner, derived from that developed at the British Fire Research Station, was shaped so as to deposit a similar pattern of heat to that of the CB 133 source. The two sources were tested for comparability both on chair mock-ups and on full-scale chairs made from a wide variety of materials. The results indicate that the gas burner, as used here, is a somewhat less severe ignition source than is the CB 133 igniter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Furniture Flammability, Vol. 2: An Investigation of the California Bulletin 133 Test; Characterization of the Ignition Source and a Comparable Gas Burner It is worth noting that the use of inert mock-ups for the characterization of the CB 133 source removes one element of variability. When the newsprint has begun to ignite a combustible substrate, energy feedback from the new flames (mainly radiation) can accelerate the newsprint burning process. This effectcan be expected to vary with the nature of the substrate. When the substrate is inert it is minimized.
