- Abstract
- The evaluation of the contribution made by a combustible lining to the spread of a fire is a problem which has caused much concern to fire researchers all over the world for many years. As a rule all fire research institutes have had their own way of making tests for this purpose. Unfortunately the different test methods often gave very different results for the same material, and a comparison between results obtained by the different test methods have not been immediately comparable.
