Full Description

NFPA 270 provides a means of measuring smoke obscuration of essentially flat materials, products, or assemblies (including surface finishes) up to 25mm thick, when exposed to specified levels of thermal irradiance in a single closed chamber. This test method is based on ISO 5659-2, Determination of Specific Optical Density by a Single-Chamber Test, and provides equivalent results to ISO 5659-2.

The principal fire-test-response characteristic obtained from using NFPA 270 is the specific optical density of smoke from the specimens tested. An optional fire-test-response characteristic measurable with this method is the mass optical density, which is the specific optical density of smoke divided by the mass lost by the specimens during the test.
