ASTM E662 Standard Test Method for Specific Optical Density of Smoke Produced by Solid Materials

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E662 testing. This fire test response standard covers the determination of the specific optical density of smoke produced by vertically mounted solid materials and assemblies in thicknesses up to 1 inch (25,4 mm).

The measurement is made by attenuation of a light beam by smoke (suspended solid or liquid particles) accumulated in a closed chamber due to flameless pyrolytic decomposition and flaming combustion.

Results are expressed in terms of specific optical density derived from a geometric factor and measured optical density, which is a measurement property of smoke concentration.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units should be considered standard. Values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions to non-standard SI units, provided for informational purposes only.

This standard measures and describes the reaction of materials, products or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not alone cover all the factors necessary for a fire hazard or fire risk assessment of materials, products or assemblies under actual fire conditions.

This standard does not purport to address all safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
