Combustion involves chemical reactions that are generally exothermic. Combustion systems use the energy of chemical compounds released during this reactive process to provide heat for transportation, electrical power generation or various applications.
As a result, combustion and chemistry are an interconnected process in many respects. However, while the combustion process is necessary for useful works, it also causes undesirable results such as the production of harmful emissions. In this respect, the result of a combustion process in terms of energy and material balance is sensitively dependent on the molecular structure of the fuel concerned.
Knowledge of flammability, reaction intensity and potentially hazardous combustion is important for safety considerations. In addition, some compounds that serve as fuel play important roles in the storage and conversion of chemical energy. Combustion processes are sometimes used to synthesize materials with attractive properties. A systematic understanding of combustion behavior therefore requires chemical knowledge.
If powdered materials are used in a manufacturing facility, these materials need to be tested for their combustion and explosion behavior. An important parameter here is the combustion factor. Combustion factor is a measure of how stored dust ignites and behaves.
On the other hand, various test methods are applied to determine the burning behavior of furniture and mattresses. The most common ignition sources used are a glowing cigarette and a small gas flame the size of a match. Test methods also differ depending on where the furniture will be used, such as hotels, schools, homes, hospitals, cinemas and concert halls. However, all combustion behavior tests are subject to the strictest requirements.
The combustion of textiles is a complex process that includes heating, decomposition leading to gasification, i.e. fuel production, ignition and flame propagation. Combustion requires a self-contained fuel source and means to gasify the fuel and mix the gaseous fuel with oxygen and heat. Various national and international standards are used in tests on fabric flammability and fabric burning behavior.
Our organization also provides combustion behavior testing services with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
