Single Burning Item – SBI 915 Fire Testing System in Accordance with EN 13823 Analyzing & Testing

Single Burning Item – SBI 915 FIRE TESTING SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE REACTION OF BUILDING PRODUCTS TO FIRE WHEN EXPOSED TO THERMAL ATTACK TO A SINGLE BURNING ITEM, IN ACCORDANCE WITH EN 13823 The knowledge of the fire behavior of building products has been increasing in importance in recent times. The characteristic fire properties are the national regulations of all European member states and are crucial in the evaluation of the possible utilization of a building product. Real Scale Scenario FIGRA Classification Parameter The SBI test method assesses the reaction-to-fire performance of building...

Measuring tube (J-shaped) The product specimen is mounted on the trolley rig forming a room corner. It is exposed to flames with a heat release of 30 kW for a period of 20 minutes. Heat and smoke production is measured within the ducting for the exhaust hood, and flame spread is observed during the test. The specimen consists of two parts which form a rightangled corner. A triangular propane diffusion gas burner acts as the heat and ignition source. Auxiliary burner Test specimen Test room Main burner Trolley SBI Determines the Reaction-To-Fire Behavior of Building Products The fire behavior...

Trendsetting Technology Conform to Standard is made of stainless steel and has a triangular shape. The bottom is closed with an integrated pipe connection for the gas supply; the top of the burner is open. The auxiliary burner is affixed to the assembly frame. Both burners include a check valve, ignition burner and flame detector. Assembly Frame The assembly frame is made of steel in a square design and lined with 2-cm-thick calcium silicate panels. The dimensions are 245 cm x 148 cm x 148 cm (HxWxD). Specimen Trolley The trolley is a welded square tube design made of steel and lined with calcium...

Test Criteria Within the Euro Class System Total Heat Release (THR) – The total heat released in the evaluation period Lateral Flame Spread (LFS) – A simple measure of whether flames spread to the edge of the specimen Burning Time/Speed Fire Growth Rate Index (FIGRA) – The speed at which heat release increases throughout the full test duration Total Smoke Production (TSP) – The total smoke produced during the evaluation period Smoke Growth Rate (SMOGRA) – The rate at which smoke production increases during the full 20-min exposure period Flaming droplets/particles – Any droplets/particles which...
