Experimental Study of Material Thickness Effect on Combustion Characteristic for Molded Polystyrene Board

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the experimental platform about combustion characteristics of thermoplastic insulation materials is designed and established. The material surface temperature, heat release rate, flame height and pyrolysis position of different thickness of molded polystyrene board are obtained. Research results show that the flame spread rate increased with the increase of the thickness of material thickness and the fire spending increase decreases first and then increases. Considering the heat preservation performance and combustion performance of this material, 50mm is the critical thickness.
