Upholstered Furniture Heat Release Rates: Measurements and Estimation
@article{Babrauskas1983UpholsteredFH, title={Upholstered Furniture Heat Release Rates: Measurements and Estimation}, author={V. Babrauskas}, journal={Journal of Fire Sciences}, year={1983}, volume={1}, pages={32 - 9} }
A new instrument, termed a furniture calorimeter, has been constructed and placed into operation for measuring furniture heat release rates based on oxygen consumption. Using the furniture calorimeter, burning rate information has been obtained on a series of 13 chairs, loveseats, and sofas, most of them specially built to permit direct comparisons of construction features. A quantitative assessment is made of the effect of fabric types, padding types (cotton batting, ordinary polyurethane foam… CONTINUE READING
