Elastomers, such as hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) are usually mechanically reinforced with high loadings of carbon black (CB) to achieve the properties demanded; high amounts of mineral flame retardants are used to fulfill fire safety requirements. These high filler loadings sometimes cause deterioration of the physical properties of the material. In this study, multilayer graphene (MLG), a nanoparticle made of only 10 graphene sheets, is applied in low loadings (3 phr) to reduce the total amount of filler or boost performance.1,2,3 In former studies nanofiller achieved increased flame retardancy at very low lowdings.4,5,6 The dispersion of the nanofiller is essential for the properties of the nanocomposites.7 The nanocomposites were prepared via master batch by an ultrasonically assisted solution mixing and subsequent conventional two-roll milling.
SEM and TEM micrographs and rheological measurements revealed that the MLG nanoparticles were well dispersed in the HNBR matrix. In the HNBR nanocomposites, 3 phr MLG replaced 15 phr CB, 3 phr ATH or 15 phr CB + 3 phr ATH and achieved large consistent improvement in curing, rheological and mechanical properties of the HNBR. The nanocomposites with partial replaced CB reduced the filler loading up to 60% without any deterioration of the properties. The HNBR/MLG nanocomposites achieved an even higher Young’s modulus, hardness and thermal conductivity. MLG achieved advanced flame retardancy by improving the protection layer. The layer is created during the burning phase and acted as an afterglow suppressor. This study proposed the combination of ATH with MLG as a promising approach to reduce the amount of filler, in addition to improving the mechanical properties and fire performance of HNBR rubbers.
Elastomers are used in a wide range of automotive and railway applications. However, a severe drawback of most rubbers are their high flammability. Therefore, flame retardants (FRs) are added to improve the performance in fire. Generally, rubber composites are filled with high amounts of mineral fillers such as aluminium trihydroxide (ATH) to fulfil fire safety regulations. These high loadings may cause deterioration of the physical properties of the material. This work shows the implementation of two new strategies to achieve the modern demands on non-toxic FRs and the reduction of fillers.
The first approach was the implementation of multilayer graphene (MLG), acting as a multifunctional filler, reinforcing agent and FR. The study presents filler combinations with a systematic variation of the fillers carbon black (CB), MLG and ATH. The nanocomposites were prepared via master batch by an ultrasonically assisted solution mixing. Afterwards the master batch was compounded into the rubber in a two-roll milling. MLG substituted high amounts of the conventional filler CB, leading to reduced filler loadings and a consistent improvement in curing, mechanical and FR properties.
The second strategy was the combination of phosphorous-containing FRs with a potential new polymeric char promoting agent polyaniline (PANI). Char promoting additives such as pentaerythritol (PER) improve the effectiveness of the FR system. The combination of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with PER was successfully investigated for natural and styrene-butadiene rubber composites. This work investigates the flame retardancy of the combination of FRs with PANI and its capability to act as a char/barrier promoter in EPDM.
The morphology of the rubbers and homogenously dispersion of MLG was investigated via scanning/transmission electron microscope (SEM/TEM) micrographs. Rheological and mechanical measurements assessed the influence of the fillers on the physical properties of the rubber composites. Characterization via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) led to a broader understanding of the decomposition. In order to determine the flame retardancy effect of these materials, a multi-methodical approach was selected. Limiting oxygen index (LOI) and UL-94 were used to quantify the flammability of the rubber composites. The cone calorimeter provided information about the fire behaviour in forced flaming conditions. Residues were investigated via elementary analysis and XPS to clarify the composition of the remaining material. Glow-Wire and FMVSS 302 tests revealed significant results in terms of flame retardancy. The flame retardancy investigation of rubber composites, combinations of ATH with MLG and ATH with phosphorous-containing FRs, broaden the horizons of rubber flame retardancy solutions. By examining alternate FR formulations and their effect on mechanical and physical properties of the rubber, new insight into the range of applicable additives for rubber composites may be won.
100 mm of PUR-foam give satisfying results in terms of
thermal properties. The non-pressure testing methods gives reliable and repeatable results. Bending modulus of laminates does not change until the first damage occurs. After that, the bending modulus decreases by 50 % but max. stress is still higher than at room temperature.
In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurde die Degradation der polymeren Matrix von flammgeschützten Polymeren eingehend untersucht. Erst in den letzten Jahren jedoch hat sich die Frage der Lebensdauer der Funktionalität des Flammschutzes selbst als wichtige Fragestellung herauskristallisiert, z.B. bei Kabeln. Deshalb sollte diese Fragestellung durch systematisch-variierte künstliche Klima- und Bewitterungstests an flammgeschützten Polymerwerkstoffen untersucht werden
The individual and collective impacts of additives in melt dripping behaviour were studied under UL 94 vertical test conditions. A set of polyamide 6 (PA6) based materials compounded with melamine cyanurate (MCA) – a ˝dripping agent˝ – and glass fibre (GF) – a ˝non-dripping agent˝ - was investigated in detail. Dripping quantification was carried out during first and second ignition. The materials and their drops were investigated with respect to thermal decomposition, melt viscosity, and others properties. PA6 with V-2 classification improves to V-0 when MCA is added; and is worsened to HB in presence of glass fibre. Together, PA6/GF/MCA achieved V-2. The non-flaming drops of PA6/MCA are formed by oligomeric fragments. The flaming drops of PA6/GF contain a high amount of glass fibre. The dripping behaviour of PA6/GF/MCA under fire is a complex response of the specimen, but not explained by an easy superposition of the materials’ properties. The dripping behaviour is influenced by the interaction and concurrence of the different phenomena.
Immer wieder werden Feuerwehren bei Einsätzen mit brandbeaufschlagten Acetylenflaschen konfrontiert. Im Falle eines Behälterversagens stellen diese eine enorme Gefährdung für die Einsatzkräfte dar. Die BAM beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren mit den Auswirkungen im Falle eines solchen Behälterversagens. Der Beitrag stellt die Arbeit der BAM auf diesem Gebiet vor und zeigt verschiedene Handlungsoptionen auf, um das Risiko für die Einsatzkräfte zu verrringern. Weiterhin wird ein Merkblatt zu brandbeaufschlagten Acetylenflaschen vorgestellt, welche zusammen mit der DGUV im Jahr 2018 herausgegeben werden.
Es wurden insgesamt 57 Einzelversuche zum Versagen von Druckgasbehältern durchgeführt. Untersucht wurden dabei 11-kg-Propangasflaschen, PKW-Radmuldentanks für LPG- sowie CNG-Tanks vom Typ III (Compositetanks mit Aluminiumliner) und Typ IV (Compositetanks mit Polymerliner). Mit 18 hydraulischen Berstversuchen wurde das Versagensverhalten unter kalten Bedingungen charakterisiert. In 39 Unterfeuerungsversuchen mit den gefüllten LPG- und CNG-Tanks, davon 36 mit Tanks ohne Sicherheitseinrichtung, wurde das Behälterversagen durch Brandbeaufschlagung untersucht. Neben verschiedenen Behältermanteltemperaturen und dem Behälterinnendruck wurde auch die Temperatur des gespeicherten Mediums dokumentiert. Dadurch war es möglich, genau zu dokumentieren, unter welchen Bedingungen und bei welchem Zustand der Behälter versagt hat. In einem Großteil der Unterfeuerungsversuche mit Behältern ohne Sicherheitseinrichtungen kam es zur Bildung eines Feuerballs, einer massiven Druck- und Temperaturwirkung auf den Nahbereich sowie einer Vielzahl von Fragmenten im Nah- und Fernbereich. In einer Entfernung von l = 7 m wurden Überdrücke von bis zu p = 0,41 bar gemessen. In 30 Unterfeuerungsversuchen kam es zur Fragmentierung des Behälters. Dabei konnten 159 Fragmente mit Wurfweite und Masse dokumentiert werden. Die dabei maximal festgestellte Wurfweite eines Fragments lag bei l = 311 m.
Again and again in case of a fire a bursting of acetylene cylinders occure. In the case of such a cylinder failure, these represent an enormous threat to fire and rescue services. BAM has been dealing for many years with the effects of acetylene cylinder failure. The presentation introduces BAM's experimental work in this area and outlines various options for action to reduce the risk for fire and rescue services. In the beginning BAM as well as the experimental possibilities at the BAM TTS are presented.
Fire resistance testing of components made of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) composites usually demands intermediate-scale or full-scale testing. In this study, a bench-scale test is presented as a practicable and efficient method to assess the improvement in structural integrity of CFRP with different protective interlayers during fire.
Fire stability is one of the biggest issues of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, particularly when they are using in load bearing applications. As soon as the glass transition temperature of polymer matrix (100-200°C) is achieved, the composite loses its structural integrity, what leads to the distortion and failure. The principal fire stability test is based on simultaneous application of fire and mechanical load. Since the carbon fibres can transfer the tensile loads quite well, the compression load is chosen as a required mechanical load for a test. The fire tests were preceded by a static load test at room temperature to determine ultimate failure load. The specimen was loaded with a compression force until the failure load was reached, which was observed as a buckling. For the fire tests, 10% of compression failure load and direct flame of a fully developed fire (heat flux ≈ 180 kW m-2) were applied simultaneously to the specimen, while the time to failure was measured.
The possibilities of bench-scale fire stability testing were presented by investigating new types of laminate structures, which exhibit promising flame retardancy and fireproof properties. The new approach of CFRP laminate differs with a protective concept. Every system consists of two different interlayers (titanium foil, thermoplastic foil PEI, ceramic layer WHIPOX, rubber tape Pyrostat, basalt fibres and kenaf fibres), where the one layer constitutes the fireproof protection, that delays the rise of temperature in the rest of laminate, and the second layer provides very good structural connection with carbon fibre layers, thus improves the mechanical integrity of CFRP composite in fire.
The time to failure of CFRP composite was 17s. Protective systems significantly enhance the fire stability and increased time to failure by 3 to 10 times. Thicker specimens showed longer resistance time, however CFRP laminate with ceramic layer and titanium foil presented outstanding results and the best performance. The protection with Kenaf and basalt fibres offered a natural fibre solution with also good fire resistance performance
Although bench-scale tests are limited with respect to assessing the performance of components and structures, they are valuable in the assessment of different materials concepts. Furthermore, the reduced effort of conducting bench-scale test (lower costs, time, personnel resources) makes it more practical and effective.
Thermoplastic polyurethane - How thespecific two-stage decompositioncontrols its fire behavior
(2018)
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are one of the major classes of thermoplastic elastomers used in the cable and wire industry. Due to their chemical structure, they are considered as linear block copolymers with alternating hard and soft segments. This specific structure is not only responsible for the excellent mechanical properties of TPU like high tensile strength or abrasion resistance, but it also influences the pyrolysis and burning behavior. TPU is a highly flammable polymer which forms liquid pool fires or burning drops which results in intensive flame spread. Because of that, TPU often does not meet the strict requirements for indoor applications given by the cable market.
Under thermal stress, TPU decomposes in a specific way. At first, the hard segments decompose and the material becomes soft and melts. Subsequently, pool fires are formed and melted material burns extensively. There are not many works addressing this problem in detail especially in terms of suitable flame retardant solutions. It is crucial to understand at which stage the flame retardants are working and how they affect the thermal decomposition of TPU. Hence, the focus of this work was put on the identification of the reactions occurring during each stage of TPU decomposition and the contribution of released products to the effective heat of combustion (EHC). Moreover, the detailed analysis of the melt dripping behavior was performed to better understand the influence of the decomposition degree on the viscosity.
The use of melamine cyanurate (MC) in combination with other additives was reported to be a promising flame retardant solution for TPU, especially in cable jacket applications. Hence, the combinations of MC with various flame retardants were used in TPU (Elastollan® 1185A10) and were investigated in terms of fire behavior, flammability, pyrolysis and decomposition products. As flame retardants, common ones were used including aluminum trihydrate (ATH), melamine polyphosphate (MPP), or aluminum diethylphosphinate (AlPi). Moreover, commercial product TPU-FR (Elastollan® 1185A10FHF) was investigated as a reference.
Explosive spalling is caused by, among others, the thermohydraulic spalling mechanism. During this process, vaporization, dehydration, moisture-transport and condensation processes interact. As a result, a drying and dehydration zone as well as a saturated zone, known as a moisture clog, are observed inside the unilaterally-heated concrete. The presented research is focused on the experimental investigation of the underlying thermohydraulic processes.
To investigate these, a test methodology based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was developed. Thereby, the X-ray CT scans are carried out simultaneously during the application of a defined unilateral-heating regime on a specially-constructed specimen. This miniaturized specimen, equipped with a double-layer casing, reproduces the condition within a planar, unilaterally-heated building component.
A preliminary test methodology and the first experimental results were presented at the 5th International Workshop on Concrete Spalling in Borås, Sweden (2017). The contribution for the upcoming workshop presents an improved version of this test methodology and new results for a high-performance concrete (HPC) mixture exposed to temperatures up to 500 °C. Regarding the CT measurements, a higher time-resolution of 15 min was achieved and a quantification of the moisture changes was implemented. Due to an increase in signal quality of the NMR measurements, a pore-size specific moisture distribution can now be resolved. This allows to conclude about the moisture reconfiguration between small gel pores and larger interhydrate pores. Additionally, the NMR measurement are no longer limited to first 2.5 cm below the heated surface but a one-dimensional moisture distribution can now be estimated over the whole 10 cm long specimen.
The presented results demonstrate that the combination of X-ray CT and NMR measurements enables to image and quantify the thermally-induced moisture transport and reconfiguration from small gel pores up to macro pores. This provides important insights into the thermohydraulic damage mechanism and leads to a better understanding of spalling avoidance strategies, like the addition of polypropylene fibres.
Beton, der heutzutage meist verwendete Baustoff, weist neben gutem Festigkeits- und Dauerhaftig-keitsverhalten ebenfalls erhöhte Brandschutzeigenschaften auf. Jedoch zeigen zahlreiche Schadensfälle, dass vor allem gefügedichte Betone im Brandfall zu explosionsartigen Abplatzungen neigen. Diese führen zum Freilegen der vorhandenen Stahlbewehrung und zur Verminderung des tragfähigen Bauteilquer-schnitts. Das wiederum kann im schlimmsten Fall eine Gefährdung der Standsicherheit eines Bauwerks zur Folge haben.
Nach derzeitigem Stand werden die explosionsartigen Abplatzungen auf thermomechanische und thermohydraulische Prozesse zurückgeführt. Letztere beruhen auf der Generierung hoher Wasserdampfdrücke in einseitig brandbeanspruchten Betonbauteilen, die zum einen auf die geringe Permeabilität des hochfesten Betons und zum anderen auf die Bildung einer wassergesättigten Zone, der sogenannten „moisture clog“ zurückzuführen sind. Die experimentelle Analyse der dabei ablaufenden Feuchtetransport- und Feuchteumlagerungsmechanismen ist Gegenstand des Vortrags.
Dazu wurde an der BAM im Rahmen eines MI-Typ 2 Projektes (FB 7.1, 7.3, 8.5) ein Versuchsstand aufgebaut, der die dreidimensionale, simultane Analyse und Quantifizierung des Feuchtetransports an einsei-tig erwärmten, miniaturisierten Prüfkörpern aus gefügedichtem Beton mittels Röntgencomputertomographie erstmals ermöglicht. Zusätzlich wird die eindimensionale Feuchteverteilung im Prüfkörper mittels Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Technik vor und nach einseitiger Erwärmung untersucht. Mithilfe dieser Prüfmethodologie ist es möglich, die Ausbildung einer Trocknungs- bzw. Dehydrationszone sowie einer tiefergelegenen Feuchteakkumulationszone zeitlich aufgelöst abzubilden. Darüber hinaus können die Einflüsse einer Polypropylenfaserzugabe auf den thermisch induzierten Feuchtetransport quantifiziert werden.
For the determination of safety characteristics of gases, vapors and dusts different types of ignition sources are used in international standards and guidelines. Table 1 compares technical relevant ignition sources with their main features. The paper presents test results of a comparative calorimetric and visual study between four different types of ignition sources. The ignition procedures were analyzed visually with a high-speed camera and electric recordings. In addition to that, the influence of the electrode-orientation, -distance as well as ignition energy on the reproducibility of the exploding wire igniter was tested.
The exploding wire is already in use for standardized determination of safety characteristics of gases, first tests on the suitability of the exploding wire igniter for dust testing have been carried out by Scheid et al. Using the exploding wire, the ignition energy can be varied from 2 to 10 000 J (2 x 5 000 J) and thus it could be used for gases, vapors, dusts and hybrid mixtures. Moreover it can be used at high initial pressures and it is the only ignition source with an easily measurable ignition energy release. Furthermore, it does not introduce another chemical reaction into the system.
Finally, a proposal for a standard ignition source for explosion tests on hybrid mixtures is derived from the test results.
Zur Bestimmung sicherheitstechnischer Kenngrößen (STK) von hybriden Gemischen (Gemisch aus mindestens zwei brennbaren Phasen, wie z.B. Staub/Gas- oder Gas/Dampf-Gemisch) existieren bislang keine einheitlichen, genormten Prüfmethoden. Die Normen und Regelwerke zur Bestimmung der STK von einphasigen brennbaren Systemen (Staub, Gas, Dampf) unterscheiden sich teilweise erheblich. Beispielsweise sind in den jeweiligen Normen für Stäube, Gase und Dämpfe unterschiedliche Zündquellen und Zündenergien definiert. Des Weiteren unterscheiden sich die in den Normen definierten Prüfabläufe bei der Gemischherstellung. Bei der Entwicklung einer einheitlichen Norm für hybride Gemische muss der Einfluss dieser beiden Parameter ermittelt werden, um die Vergleichbarkeit mit den STK der einzelnen Komponenten Gas, Staub und Dampf gewährleisten zu können und bisherige Erkenntnisse zu hybriden Gemischen interpretieren und bewerten zu können.
Der Beitrag beschreibt die Entwicklung eines neuartigen in situ Nachweisverfahrens zur Beurteilung des Feuerwiderstandes von bestehenden Stahlkonstruktionen mit gealtertem reaktivem Brandschutzsystem (RBS). Derzeit ist ein solcher Nachweis ausschließlich anhand eines Bauteilbrandversuchs möglich. Hierzu muss ein Bauteil aus der Bestandskonstruktion entnommen und einer zerstörenden Brandprüfung unterzogen werden. In Zusammenhang mit der Dauerhaftigkeitsbewertung von RBS für Zeiträume von mehr als 10 Jahren besteht in der Praxis vermehrt der Bedarf an einem minimal invasiven Prüfverfahren, mit dessen Hilfe sich direkt am Bestandsbauwerk die tatsächlich vorhandene Leistungsfähigkeit des gealterten RBS überprüfen lässt. Durch einen erfolgreichen Funktionsnachweis wäre eine Weiternutzung der Bestandkonstruktion bei Aufrechterhaltung des bestehenden Sicherheitsniveaus möglich.
Greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities remain one of the most important subjects of international discussions. The routine gas flaring has been estimated to be responsible for as much as 1% of global carbon dioxide emission per year. Gas flaring analysis is one of the key-interest subjects in remote sensing community. Some of the existing publications use remote sensing techniques with satellite imagery to derive information about flame temperature and further about to estimate the volume of the flared gas. The often missing element is an in-situ measurement analysis of gas flames, combining signals recorded by a camera on-ground and data on flared gas volume, temperature and gas type. In order to address this problem, an experiment was conducted, in which the gas flame was recorded by thermal cameras on-ground, simultaneously to an aerial survey and the gas flow was measured at the same time on-ground. The measurement setup was designed in cooperation between Institute of Optical Sensor Systems of German Aerospace Center (DLR) and German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Cameras recording in thermal and mid-wave IR wavelengths were used to record the burning gas on-ground and from the aerial survey. All the measurements have been compared and statistically analysed with respect to the recorded temperature. The purpose of the examination was to describe the signal changes in thermal imagery with respect to changes in energy, emitted by the burning process. This approach will allow for later calculation of the amount of energy in form of thermal radiation sent from the flame to the satellite.
Self-ignition Behaviour of Bulk Materials: How Reliable is the Extrapolation of Laboratory Tests?
(2022)
The self-ignition behaviour of bulks is usually determined with the aid of isoperibolic or adiabatic hot storage tests; the sample volumes here are typically in the range of approx. 100 cm³ to several litres. The extrapolation to technically relevant volumes holds, however, considerable uncertainties. To reduce these uncertainties, a test stand was set up that allows to investigation sample sizes of up to 1000 dm³. These allow the study of selfignition behavior closer to the conditions that prevail in practice. The suitability (or unsuitability) of the established methods (including dangerous goods classification tests) were to be demonstrated and influencing variables that cannot be measured on a laboratory scale were to be determined.
In addition, various analytical methods were used for the determination of reaction kinetic data of solid bulk materials and to predict the self-ignition behaviour of large storages. These are thermal analyses such as differential scanning calorimetry DSC, simultaneous thermal analysis STA as well as microcalorimetry for highprecision measurement of heat flows.
Complete test series using all mentioned test methods will be presented for crosslinked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) and conclusions regarding the applicability of the extrapolation methods will be discussed. Hot storage tests up to semi-industrial scale and their combination with various thermoanalytical methods allow a much more precise prediction of the self-ignition behaviour of large bulks. A further promising approach to estimate their heat release rates, and hence, the risk of self-ignition under technical conditions, is the use of microcalorimetric methods.
In der Regel wird das Selbstentzündungsverhalten mit Hilfe von isoperibolen oder adiabaten Warmlagerungsversuchen beurteilt, hier liegen die Probenvolumina üblicherweise im Bereich von ca. 100 cm3 bis zu einigen Litern. Die Extrapolation auf technisch relevante Volumina birgt jedoch erhebliche Unsicherheiten. Diese beruhen auf:
- Extrapolation über mehrere Größenordnungen,
- Limitierungen der verwendeten Extrapolationsmethode (enge Start- und Randbedingungen),
- dem unterschiedlichen Temperaturniveau der Laborversuche im Vergleich zu technischen Lagerungen, insbesondere der Einfluss des enthaltenen Wassers,
- nicht eindeutige Kriterien für Zündung/Nichtzündung,
- Einfluss verschiedener Extrapolationsverfahren,
- mit Hilfe von Laborversuchen nicht erfassbarer Reaktionen (Niedertemperaturoxidationen, Zersetzung, Autokatalyse etc.),
- Streuungen der Messergebnisse.
Diese Unsicherheiten zu verringern ist Inhalt des vorgestellten Forschungsprojektes. Hauptziele des Projektes sind daher, die im Labormaßstab vorhandenen Prüfeinrichtungen durch einen Versuchsstand zur Untersuchung von Probengrößen von bis zu 1000 dm3 zu erweitern, die Eignung (oder Nichteignung) der etablierten Methoden nachzuweisen und im Labormaßstab nicht erfassbare Einflussgrößen zu ermitteln. Zudem sollen anhand der kleinskaligen Tests Entscheidungskriterien abgeleitet werden, ob eine Extrapolation nach den derzeit üblichen Methoden zulässig ist.
Erste Ergebnisse des Projektes bestätigen, dass die Bestimmung des Selbstentzündungsverhaltens von Stäuben und Schüttgütern und insbesondere die Ermittlung reaktionskinetischer Daten mit erheblichen Unsicherheiten behaftet sind. Sowohl Warmlagefungsversuche im Labormaßstab als auch mit Hilfe verschiedener Methoden ausgewertete thermoanalytische Methoden lassen, insbesondere einzeln betrachtet, zum Teil nur bedingt verlässliche Aussagen über das Selbstentzündungsverhalten großer Schüttungen zu. Vollständige Versuchsreihen unter Nutzung aller vorgestellten Untersuchungsmethoden sollen präsentiert und abhängig vom Probenmaterial - Schlussfolgerungen hinsichtlich der Zulässigkeit der Extrapolationsmethoden diskutiert werden.
