描述了一个小型实验室程序，用于确定管状聚合物材料的比较燃烧特性。火焰应用于垂直位置的试样，由金属丝或心轴支撑。移除试验火焰后，确定灭火时间和燃烧特性。 该试验方法可用于比较管状聚合物材料的燃烧特性。本试验方法不得用于比较任何电线或电缆产品或任何电缆管理系统的燃烧特性。 本试验方法可用于比较材料的相对性能，帮助材料选择，用于质量控制和质量保证。

Describes a small-scale laboratory procedure for determining the comparative burning characteristics of tubular polymeric materials. A flame is applied to test specimens held in a vertical position, supported by a wire or mandrel. Upon removal of the test flame, the extinguishing times and the burning characteristics are determined. This test method can be used to compare the burning characteristics of tubular polymeric materials. This test method shall not be used to compare the burning characteristics of any wire or cable products or any cable management systems. This test method can be used to compare the relative performance of materials, to aid in material selection, for quality control purposes and for quality assurance.
