Preparation and combustion characteristic of standard combustible materials used for fire test

Typical plastic-cup and paper-cup standard combustible material have been prepared based on fire load density and material composition of the typical places.Experimental research on these 2combustible materials' combustion characteristic shows that:their combustion properties are stable,total heat release and fire growth rate have small deviation,and the tests have good reproducibility.Under certain conditions,plastic-cup standard combustible material can represent quasi medium fire with fire load of 157.8 MJ,and paper-cup standard combustible material can represent slow fire with fire load of 51.1MJ.
