ISO/TS 19700 - Controlled equivalence ratio method for the determination of hazardous components of fire effluents – Steady-state tube furnace

The technical specification ISO/TS 19700 describes testing using a steady-state tube furnace (SSTF). The sample is slowly feed into the oven and as new material enters the combustion zone, there will be a continuously burning of the material in a steady state.

The combustion conditions are established by feeding the sample material into the furnace together with primary air for combustion. The combination of the material feeding rate, the primary air flow rate, and the furnace temperature decides the combustion conditions.

The fire stages replicated using the steady-state furnace are:

• Fire stage 1b – oxidative pyrolysis (350 °C);
• Fire stage 2 – well-ventilated flaming fires (650 °C);
• Fire stage 3a – small vitiated fires in closed or poorly ventilated compartments (650 °C);
• Fire stage 3b – post-flashover fires in open compartments (825 °C).

The nominal loading of the sample according to ISO/TS 19700 is 25 mg combustible material/mm with a feeding rate of 40 mm/min. The primary air flow is usually 10 l/min for well-ventilated flaming combustion, resulting in a material/air ratio of 100 mg combustible material/l air.

The smoke and gases are collected in a mixing chamber at the end of the furnace. The gas is mixed with secondary air (total flowrate is 50 l/min) and then collected for gas analysis according to ISO 19702 (FTIR) or any method provided in ISO 19701.

A test report, in Swedish or English, is deliverd with the test results after testing.

With our extensive expertise and advanced testing facilities, we ensure that your vehicle meets the safety requirements needed to be ready for the market, according to UNECE R155/R156 and the standards ISO/SAE 21434 and ISO 24089. We assist you with consulting, testing and certification.

UNECE R155 and R156 are two important regulations aimed at improving cybersecurity and the management of software updates in vehicles.

UNECE R155 focuses on protecting vehicles against cyberattacks by requiring vehicle manufacturers to implement robust cybersecurity measures. The regulation came into effect in January 2021 and became mandatory for all new vehicles produced from July 2024.

UNECE R156 focuses on ensuring secure and reliable software updates for vehicles. This regulation also came into effect in January 2021 and follows the same timelines as R155, with mandatory application for all new vehicles since July 2024.

RISE is approved by the Swedish Transport Agency as a Technical service and perform testing according to the UNECE R155 and R156 regulations. A Technical service is an organisation that has been approved as a testing laboratory and registered in the EU and ECE to conduct tests in connection with type approvals.

The ISO/SAE 21434 standard is used to ensure cybersecurity requirements in electrical/electronic (E/E) systems intended to implement functionality in road vehicles. ISO/SAE 21434 sets overall requirements as well as requirements related to the different parts of the product development lifecycle. 

Examples of activities required include vulnerability analyses and risk assessments, as well as lifecycle-specific activities such as requirement management, testing, and static code analysis.

ISO 24089 is an international standard introduced in early 2023 that focuses on software updates for road vehicles. This standard specifies requirements and recommendations to ensure that software updates are carried out in a secure and reliable manner.

Do you want to understand how electrical contact between surfaces is affected by pressure, material, and corrosion? RISE offers interfacial contact resistance measurements which fives valuble insight in electrical and mechanical properties, crucial for devoplment within for example batteries, fuel cells, and electronics.

Electrical interfacial contact resistance (ICR)  is caused at the interface of two surfaces, in addition to the reistances of the materials. Measuring this property is crucial within applications such as fuel cells, batteries, and electrical contacts - where low ICR is directly connected to performance and safety. The method is also a powerful tool for analysing the effect of corrosion, by measurements before and after a corrosion layer is formed.

RISE offers this

RISE offers fundamental ICR measurements as part of our services within material characterization and corrosion analysis. By combining electrical measurements with a controlled pressure you will gain insight how the material behaves under actual conditions  and how corrosion affects the electrical contact.

• Two gold coated probes are pressed against the sample surface at controlled pressures.
• A low current is passed through the sample and the voltage is measured between the surfaces
• The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) is measured at different compression pressures
• Measurements can be performed between sample and a reference surface or between two sample surfaces
• Probes in different sizes and geometries may be used after your need

The method can be combined with our corrosion measurements for a complete understanding of the electrical properties of the material and effects of corrosion. The method can be adapted to your needs, contact us for more info.

The results are summerized in a report with the measured ICR values at chosen compression pressures. All raw data may be attached. In combination with other services these results will be included in the report. You will get a decision basis helping you optimize design, material choice, and durability. 

Method for determining the tear strength of a material using the trouser-shaped method

Materials that are stretchable or for other reasons not suitable for tensile testing can instead be tested for bursting strength.

To test bursting strength of materials that are not suitable for tensile testing. The method is;  SS-EN ISO 13938-2. Textiles – Bursting properties of fabrics – Part 2: Pneumatic method for determining of bursting strength and bursting distension. 
 

In the burst strength tester, the sample is clamped on top of a membrane so that it remains completely still. Using compressed air, the membrane is lifted upwards until the sample breaks or bursts. The force is then recorded in kPa and the elongation is measured in %. 

This is a good alternative to regular tensile testing if the sample is stretchable, very fragile, or very strong. Knits, warp knits, non-wovens, both coated and uncoated, stretch fabrics, tights, etc., are materials that can advantageously be measured using this method. We have 3 different sizes of measuring heads to adapt to different types of materials. However, values cannot be compared between the different heads. Testing can be performed either in a conditioned state or in a wet state.

The method is accredited according to ISO 17025.

Fabrics that should be waterproof are tested with increasing water pressure until drops penetrates the surface.

Fabrics that should be waterproof are tested using this method. Testing is conducted with 5 test specimens per material. The pressure is increased at a constant rate until drops penetrate. We can also perform static testing where the pressure is held constant for a certain period. Testing can be carried out over seams to check the seam’s tightness. Pre-treatment in the form of washing or various types of abrasion may occur.

Our sampling services are performed by RISE personnel on site at the customer's premises and ensure that sampling is done correctly by an independent party.

Our sampling services are performed by RISE personnel on site at the customer's premises and ensure that sampling is done correctly by an independent party. Sampling can affect analysis results (i.e. the quality of the biogas) and can lead to incorrect conclusions. Therefore, the first step before analysis is important - the sampling.

Determination of oil in vehicle gas

We perform gas sampling at filling stations (NGV1 or NGV2 connections) according to ISO 2615:2023 to verify the requirements set out in EN 16723–2:2017. If necessary, we can sample gas for other parameters such as composition with respect to main components and impurities, etc. Oil analysis can be an important part of systematic quality work and a preventive measure in service and maintenance work as well as an indicator of the condition of the compressor. We also take samples in gas bags, gas cylinders (max. 10 bar pressure) and/or on sorbent tubes.

Sampling of biogas and LNG/LBG (liquefied natural gas/biogas)

Sampling can be carried out at biogas plants, bus depots, gas stations or LNG terminals. It is important to use the right equipment and follow safety regulations for a safe environment. We take samples in gas bags, gas cylinders (max 10 bar pressure) and/or on sorbent tubes.
