- Identifiers
- ignitable liquids; char patterns in fire investigations; charring of solid wood members under ASTM E 119 or ISO 834 conditions; average charring rates (mm/min) obtained in White's tests for softwoods; average het fluxes for the first 60 minutes of exposure in several test furnaces; tests on floors and panels; charring rates in furnace tests run at a constant temperature of 920 - 1070 deg C
