Abstract
In 2023, a new standardized test method utilizing cone calorimetry was introduced as ASTM E3367. Commonly referred to as the Cube test, it is based on research conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The test measures the ability of fire barriers in reducing the flammability of multi-layer products. Additionally, it enables the measurement of physical phenomena —such as burn-through time— that cannot be assessed using a traditional cone calorimeter test. This paper highlights the significance of edge-effects on the fire performance of products with an integrated fire barrier and how the Cube test overcomes these limitations.Proceedings Title
