2. Nylon Polyethylene Acrylic Polystyrene PVC PBT Standard Fire Source

3. Smoldering Fire (Pyrolysis) Spark Ignitors, 2 ml heptaneFlaming Fire

4. Cone calorimeter/FTIR data for flaming and smoldering resin blocks. Gas concentrations for flaming and smoldering resin blocks in center of 707 cargo compartment. Smoke levels from flaming resin block in main deck DC-10 cargo compartment. Detection times for flaming and smoldering resin blocks in below floor DC-10 cargo compartment. Results

5. Cone Calorimeter with FTIR gas analysis

6. Cone calorimeter/FTIR

14. 707 Cargo Compartment Gas Probe

20. Flaming Resin Block

22. DC-10 Below Floor Cargo Compartment

23. Compartment volume = 3500 cubic feet Flaming Resin Detector Alarm Time A 0:58 B 0:41 C 1:16 D 1:05 Alarm time is the average of 2 tests. Resin Block

24. Compartment volume = 3500 cubic feet Flaming Resin Detector Alarm Time A 1:13 B 1:08 C 1:22 D 1:13 Alarm time is the average of 2 tests. Resin Block

25. Compartment volume = 3500 cubic feet Smoldering Resin Detector Alarm Time A 1:01 B :52 C 1:45 D 1:43* Alarm time is the average of 2 tests. Resin Block * No alarm for one of the tests.

26. Future Activities Complete resin block testing in DC-10 below floor compartment. Run a variety of fires in DC-10 (alcohol soaked rags, suitcases, shredded newspaper). Develop possible alarm algorithms and compare detection times for the above fires and resin blocks for both the 707 tests and the DC-10 tests.
