- Abstract
- This report presents test results of Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values per ASTM E84-94. The report also includes Material Identification, Method of Preparation, Mounting and Conditioning of the specimens. The tests were performed in accordance with the specifications set forth in ASTM E84-94, "Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", both as to equipment and test procedure. This test procedure is similar to UL-723, ANSI No. 2.5, NFPA No. 255 and UBC 42-1. The test results cover two parameters: Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values during a 10-minute fire exposure. Inorganic cement board and red oak flooring are used as comparative standards and their responses are assigned arbitrary values of 0 and 100, respectively.
