DETECTION BY A PORTABLE GAS ANALYZER OF THE TRACES OF THE COMBUSTION INITIATORS AFTER A POLYMER FIRE AT A FIRE-TECHNICAL EXAMINATION
In practice, a specialist (inquiry officer), in order to establish the cause of a fire, during the production of a fire-technical examination, has to evaluate (select) fragments of materials from fire zones with various thermal injuries. Often the objects for research are products based on polymers. To do this, using portable devices, a preliminary analysis of surfaces exposed to heat is carried out. One of such devices is the Kolion -1V gas analyzer, which allows to determine the participation of hydrocarbon initiators of combustion during burning of the residues of polymeric materials.
