- Abstract
- The development of the 8-foot tunnel furnace flame-spread method was started at the Forest Products Laboratory back in 1951, through the cooperative support of the Housing and Home Finance Agency. Many small flame and combustion test procedures were then in use, including the fire tube, the crib, modified Schlyter panel, Federal Specification SS-A-118 acoustical tile test, and also several inclined panel tests. In the previous year, the large tunnel furnace method of the Underwriters' Laboratories had been made a tentative ASTM Standard.
