PLY, PF, rep 2
Plywood
Description
This experiment is on a system consisting of a Plywood cladding panel and a Phenolic (PF) foam insulation panel, separated with a cavity of 50 mm width. It is the second repetition of this system configuration.
Experiment Notes
At approximately 5 minutes the plywood panel began to touch the insulation panel, affecting the mass measurements. At approximately 6 minutes the plywood panel began to collapse, causing a sudden change in the mass measurements as debris fell into the debris tray, onto both load cells, or off the entire assembly. The Phenolic foam insulation was seen to continue smouldering after the experiment was terminated, requiring extinguishment.
