Abstract

In this study, Chung's equations 1, 2, and 3 were extended to standardize smoke safety rating evaluation in case of fire, and Chung's equations-V, smoke performance index-V, and smoke growth index-V were calculated. Five types of wood were selected and their smoke indices were measured using the cone calorimeter method according to ISO 5660-1. The smoke risk was graded by the smoke risk index-VI according to Chung's equation-VI. Smoke risk index-VI increased in the order of PMMA (1) ≈ maple (1.01) < ash (1.57) < needle fir (4.98) < paulownia (46.15) < western red cedar (106.26). It was predicted that maple and ash had the lowest smoke risk, and paulownia and western red cedar had the highest. The five samples' CO mean production rate (COPmean) was 0.0009~0.0024 g/s, indicating that these woods were incompletely burned than the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) reference material. Regarding the smoke properties of the chosen woods, the smoke performance index-V (SPI-V) increased as the bulk density increased, and the smoke risk index-VI (SRI-VI) decreased.

본 연구에서는 화재 시 연기안전 등급 평가를 표준화하기 위해 Chung's equations 1, 2와 3을 확장하여 Chung's equations-V인 연기성능지수-V와 연기성장지수-V를 산정하였다. 5종류의 목재를 선별하여 ISO 5660-1의 규격에 의한 콘칼로리미터(cone calorimeter)법으로 연기지수들을 측정하였다. Chung's equation-VI에 따라 연기위험성지수-VI에 의한 연기위험성을 등급화 하였다. 연기위험성지수-VI는 PMMA(1) ≈ 단풍나무(1.01) < 물푸레나무(1.57) < 전나무(4.98) < 오동나무(46.15) < 적삼목(106.26)의 순서로 증가하였다. 단풍나무, 물푸레나무의 연기위험성이 가장 낮고, 오동나무, 적삼목이 가장 높은 것으로 예측되었다. 시험편 5종의 일산화탄소 평균생성속도는 0.0009~0.0024 g/s으로 나타났으며, 이들 목재는 기준 물질인 polymethyl methacrylate보다 불완전연소 물질임을 나타내었다. 선정된 목재들의 연기특성은 체적밀도가 높을수록 연기성능지수-V (SPI-V)이 증가하였고, 연기위험성지수-VI (SRI-VI)가 감소하였다.
