- Abstract
- The PRC samples have all been subjected to an initial screening procedure. The experiments which have been completed are enumerated in Tables 1 and 2. The results form each 1000 mg sample are summarized in Table 3. The methods used are those developed by Alarie and Barrow under NBS Grant #5-9005. The work reported here differs in that the exposure time has been extended to 30 minutes from 10 minutes. The longer exposure time is required by the burning characteristics of some of the foams under consideration.
