Die Erkenntnisse zu reaktiven Brandschutzsystemen (RBS) werden kontinuierlich erweitert, was sich in der Entwicklung neuer Produkte und der Ausweitung des durch technische Regelungen abgedeckten Anwendungsbereichs äußert. Der hier vorliegende Beitrag konzentriert sich auf die Verwendung von RBS auf Stahlkonstruktionen. In den vergangenen zehn Jahren wurden, abgesichert durch neue Erkenntnisse aus der Forschung, die Anwendung auf Stahlzuggliedern mit offenem Profil präzisiert und im Rahmen allgemeiner bauaufsichtlicher Zulassungen (abZ) neu geregelt. Ferner wurde die Grundlage geschaffen, die Anwendung von RBS auf Zuggliedern mit kreisrundem Vollprofil zu bewerten und auf Basis der abZ zu ermöglichen. Neben einer umfassenden Darstellung der aktuellen nationalen und europäischen Regelungen zu RBS, werden technologische Besonderheiten und deren Einfluss auf den Regelungsinhalt im Beitrag thematisiert. In der jüngsten Vergangenheit stellt sich mit zunehmender Dringlichkeit die Frage nach der Bewertung der Dauerhaftigkeit von RBS für lange Zeiträume, wobei damit Nutzungsdauern weit jenseits der in den nationalen und europäischen Regelungen bereits etablierten 10 Jahre gemeint sind. In diesem Zusammenhang ist zu klären, wie der Feuerwiderstand von Konstruktionen zu bewerten ist, die bereits über lange Zeiträume mit RBS versehen sind.
The presentation gives an overview of actual research adtivities in the field of flame retardant polymers. Details are selected illuminating the scientific topic beyond the state of the art. Different concepts are illustrated with own results obtained in different Research projects over the last 15 years.
Im Rahmen des beantragten Innovationsforums InnoBOSK soll eine engere Vernetzung zwischen KMU und Endanwendern im Bereich der zivilen Sicherheitstechnologie und -Forschung erreicht werden. Aktuell ist dieser Zugang und eine umfassende Markterkundung mit Erhebung der Forschungsbedarfe und Fähigkeitslücken für KMU aufgrund der Struktur der Endanwender-Landschaft in Deutschland mit eigenen Ressourcen kaum zu leisten. Das Innovationsclusters Zivile Sicherheitsforschung (InCluSiF) soll um ein Netzwerk von KMU ergänzt werden. Hierüber können KMU den konsolidierten, priorisierten Forschungsbedarf und bestehende Fähigkeitslücken direkt und zentral mit zukünftigen potentiellen Abnehmern und Anwendern diskutieren, Lösungen und Anforderungen aus der Praxis klarer umreißen und die Endanwender in die Forschung und Entwicklung zielgerichteter einbinden. Auf diese Weise werden
Fehlentwicklungen, „Lösungen ohne tatsächliches Problem“ und Fehlinvestitionen vermieden. Durch das Innovationsforum wird auch das gegenseitige Verständnis verbessert, und so ein schnellerer und
zielgerichteter Innovationsprozess ermöglicht. Nach einer systematischen Bedarfserhebung bei den BOS anhand einer von InCluSIF entwickelten Methodik finden im Rahmen des Innovationsforums u. a. Workshops zur Skizzierung von neuen Lösungsansätzen (Verwendung von ko-kreativen Methoden, Design
Thinking u.ä.) statt.
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.
Estimation of self-heating temperatures for large volumes - application of heat flux measurement
(2019)
Model free estimation of activation energy from DSC can show strong deviation from other methods (complex mechanism).
First results show good agreement between heat flux from adiabatic and isothermal microcalorimeter.
Due to high sensitivity of microcalorimeters the extrapolation can be checked at relevant storage temperatures.
Higher reliability for extrapolations (check of applied model).
Heat flux measurements provide an alternative test method.
Die BAM stellt sich mit verschiedenen Themen auf der EUROPEAN CONFERENCE 2019 ON PLANT & PROCESS SAFETY vor. Die Themen sind eine Auswahl von Forschungs- und Dienstleistungsarbeiten, die zur Prozesssicherheit geleistet werden und beinhalten Druckentlastungsvorgänge, Sicherheit von Biogasanlagen, Pipelinesicherheit und sicherer Einsatz von Sauerstoff.
Bare steel constructions are often integrated in modern buildings. Intumescent coatings are widely used to protect the steel from heating up too quickly in a case of fire. As the functionality of intumescent coatings decreases with the impact of weathering processes, it is important to understand the mechanisms of material degradation to maintain long durability. The weathering-induced degradation behavior of a water-borne intumescent coating was examined, and the weakest points of the formulation were identified by a systematic approach. Resulting from this investigation, adjustments to the formula were made, leading to improved weathering resistance.
Most synthetic polymers have a high fire load, and as a result, they require flame retardants (FRs) to ensure their safe use. Phosphorus plays an important role in flame retardancy and has the potential to replace halogenated variants, which are assumed to be harmful to the environment and health. Among phosphorus-based FRs, there exists a trend towards polymeric, high molar mass molecules with complex molecular architectures. In this project, we synthesized a novel series of so-called phosphorus-based hyperbranched polymeric FRs and investigated their use as multifunctional additives to high-performance polymers, i.e. epoxy resins. By cleverly designing the chemical structure to contain varying amounts of P-O and P-N bonds, new insight into the chemical mechanism of flame retardancy was gained, and by comparing the hyperbranched polymers to their monomeric counterparts, a greater understanding of the role of complex architecture was won. This talk aims at presenting some of these results and proposes chemical mechanisms that illustrate what role these novel hyperbranched flame retardants play in molecular firefighting.
Avoiding road crashes has been the purpose behind many specialized software and hardware systems, involving both active and passive safety principles. Global Positioning technologies were incorporated into the transportation systems with the main purpose of acquiring the position of the vehicle under a continuous basis, for security and economy purposes. However, the GPS data can also be used for assessing the level of safety at which the vehicle is driven. On the basis of the essential data available from commercial GPS devices, in this paper we propose a combined performance measurement to assess the road safety level at which the vehicle is being driven. Such performance measure uses GPS data of the vehicle displacement, including the speed and the acceleration, as well as the course (latitude and longitude coordinates), in an integral driving assessment formulation that can run in real time. Results from the experimental use of this formulation suggest that the level of safety in the driving is time dependent, and that there are risky situations when different factors converge.
The main flame retardant modes of action are known, nevertheless in practise the detailed scientific understanding usually falls short, when it comes to modern multicomponent systems, the important tiny optimizations, or quantifying in terms of specific fire properties. The description of the flame retardant modes of action remains usually vague and fragmentary. This talk tries to deliver thought-provoking impulses how the understanding of the fire behaviour and flame retardancy can be utilized to direct the development of future flame retardant polymer products. Some overseen details are picked up as well as rethinking of concepts memorised long ago is encouraged to discover something new. Furthermore, the talk tries to fill the gap between flame retardant modes of action and fire performance constituting a product. This talk promotes the evidence-based development of flame retardant polymers.
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.
Tanks with capacity larger than 700 m3, could be exposed to a resonance excitation when subjected to earthquake motions, regardless of the fill level. Further studies to assess the dynamic forces linked to such resonance and close-to-resonance situations, in a context of a standard overloading situation due to sloshing forces.
This work investigates the fire phenomena of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) in detail. To elucidate structure-property relationships, systematically varied sets of materials were prepared covering polyurethane, polyisocyanurate-polyurethane and flame retarded polyurethane foams. Advanced cone calorimeter investigations provide insight into the fire behavior under forced flaming conditions. Thermocouples inside specimens give information about the temperature gradient during combustion. Furthermore, fire phenomena were characterized using cross sections of quenched samples and the scanning electron microscope. By using a Multi methodological approach and systematically varied sets of foam materials, new insights into the burning of RPUFs were won. For the flame retarded foams, the dominant flame retardant mode of action changed with density. PIR foams exhibited a cellular structure in the residue leading to the superior fire performance compared to polyurethane foams. The understanding of fire phenomena contributes to future development of tailored flame retardant strategies for RPUFs.
Accident safe packages for the transport of spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste shall fulfil international IAEA safety requirements. Compliance is shown by consecutive mechanical and thermal testing. Additional numerical analysis are usually part of the safety evaluation. For damage protection some package designs are equipped with wood filled impact limiters encapsulated by steel sheets.
The safety of these packages is established in compliance with IAEA regulations. Cumulative mechanical and fire tests are conducted to achieve safety standards and to prevent loss of containment. Mechanical reliability is proven by drop tests. Drop testing might cause significant damage of the impact limiter steel sheets and might enable sufficient oxygen supply to the impact limiter during the fire test to ignite the wood filling. The boundary conditions of the fire test are precisely described in the IAEA regulatory. During the test the impact limiter will be subjected to a 30 minutes enduring fire phase. Subsequent to the fire phase any burning of the specimen has to extinguish naturally and no artificial cooling is allowed.
At BAM a large-scale fire test with a real size impact limiter and a wood volume of about 3m³ was conducted to investigate the burning behaviour of wood filled impact limiters in steel sheet encapsulation. Until today burning of such impact limiters is not sufficiently considered in transport package design and more investigation is necessary to explore the consequences of the impacting fire. The objective of the large scale test was to find out whether a self-sustaining smouldering or even a flaming fire inside the impact limiter was initiated and what impact on the cask is resulting.
The amount of energy transferred from the impact limiter into the cask is of particular importance for the safety of heavy weight packages. With the intention of heat flux quantification, a new approach was made and a test bench was designed.
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.
Whereas the degradation of flame retardant polymers has been discussed since decades, only more recently, the lifetime of the flame retardancy itself becomes an important factor, e.g. for cables used as building products. In this work, several kinds of accelerated artificial ageing tests are performed simulating different environmental exposures and thus highlighting different degradation mechanisms: artificial accelerated weathering, climatic chamber, water immersion, salt spray chamber, and autoclave test. The durability is expected to be different for different flame-retardant materials. Thus, various sets of halogen-free fire-retarded polymers were investigated: ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) with aluminum hydroxide (ATH), boehmite and synergists, ester-based and ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with melamine cyanurate (MC), aluminum diethylphosphinate (AlPi), and boehmite, and glass fiber reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66) with AlPi-based mixtures.
Intensive degradation of the surface was observed, e.g. yielding discoloration and yellowing, EVA showed cracking when weathered. Changes in chemical structure was investigated by ATR-FTIR. The flammability was investigated with the cone calorimeter, UL-94 classification, and oxygen index (LOI). The flame retardancy of most of the materials studied degraded only slightly for the investigated exposure times. EVA/ATH achieved an improved LOI due to flame retardants agglomeration at the surface. Sets of materials, based on EVA and TPU, were also investigated as cable jackets. While flame retarded EVA exhibited no dripping during burning, TPU flame-retarded with MC cables showed pronounced melt-dripping. Cone calorimeter tests were carried out using cable rafts as well as our self-made cable module test, simulating a vertical bundle of cables at the bench scale. The comparison of different fire tests, different exposure conditions, and different materials carved out the specific degradation phenomena with respect to each of these parameters.
Most of this work was supported by the IGF Project (18926 N) of the Fördergemeinschaft für das Süddeutsche Kunststoff-Zentrum e.V., supported by the AiF within the framework of the program “Förderung der Industriellen Gemeinschaftsforschung (IGF)” of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy based on a decision of the Deutschen Bundestag.
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.
Vorgestellt wird ein 2018 gestartetes Projekt zur Überprüfung der Extrapolation von im Labormaßstab ermittelten Selbstentzündungstemperaturen auf technisch relevante Volumina. Für die Ermittlung reaktionskinetischer Daten von Feststoffschüttungen stehen eine Reihe von Untersuchungsmethoden zur Verfügung. Dies sind thermische Analysen wie z.B. die differential scanning calorimetry DSC sowie Mikrokalorimetrie zur hochgenauen Messung von Wärmeströmen, bei denen sehr geringe Probenmengen zum Einsatz kommen. In der Regel wird das Selbstentzündungsverhalten jedoch 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 über mehrere Größenordnungen auf technische Volumina birgt Unsicherheiten, da mit Zunahme des Lagervolumens veränderte Start- und Randbedingungen vorliegen können. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass bei in technischen Lagern vorherrschenden niedrigen Temperaturen Reaktionen ablaufen, die in Standard- Laborversuchen nicht erfasst werden aber einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf das Selbstentzündungsverhalten aufweisen können. Hauptziel des Projektes ist es 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.
