Pedestal Burn Test
Sample Identification #: J384035 Date: 11-13-20 Conditioning: 23/50/48 70°C / 168 hours Time: 13:00
Category Designation
Material shall be classified HB if:
Material does not ignite or the flame front does not reach the 100mm reference mark
If the flame front reaches the 100mm reference mark:
* The linear burning rate cannot exceed 40mm/minute for 1/8” specimens
* The linear burning rate cannot exceed 75mm/minute for 1/16” and 1/32” specimens
Specimen Burn to the 25mm Burn to the 100mm Time, Average Burn
Total Burn Length Calculated Burn Rate
# reference mark? reference mark? seconds Rate
29.86mm/min
2 Yes Yes 75mm 186.8 24.09
1.18 in/min
B = (60 * D) / T
B = Burn rate in millimeter / minute
D = Length the flame travels in millimeter
T = Time, in seconds, for the flame to travel “D”
Note:
Only report the linear burn rate for specimens that the flame front reaches the 100mm reference mark
If the flame front passes the 25mm mark but does not reach the 100mm reference mark, only report the burned length and
elapsed time
If flame front reaches the 100mm reference mark, burn length equals 75mm
DOES NOT IGNITE. Material does not support combustion during or after ignition. DNI
SELF-EXTINGUISHING. Material ignites but does not burn to the timing zone. SE
