Fire Performance of Structural Flakeboard from Forest Residue.

Abstract

Fire performance properties were determined for the Forest Service (FS) structural flakeboard made from forest residues and for three commercial structural flakeboard products. Tests include fire endurance of wall systems, fire penetration, room corner-wall performance, 8- and 25-foot tunnel furnace. FPL rate of heat release, and smoke development by NBS smoke density chamber. Walls with the FS board met HUD Minimum Property Standards for a 20-minute exterior dwelling wall. The board also met Class B flamespread criteria, and in general, performed equal to or better than the commercial reference boards. (Author)
