- Abstract
- The objective of the experimental phase in two-fold, firstly, to measure the ignition times of a selected set of cotton, nylon, polyester and acetate fabrics and blends, at well defined exposure and fabric conditions, secondly to measure, on the same fabrics, the thermophysical properties which characterize the ignition process.
