- Abstract
- Between autumn 1960 and summer 1961, a considerable number of fire tests were carried out in the special fire test room of Cerberus Ltd. The purpose of these tests was to record the essential characteristics of an outbreak of fire from the moment of ignition up to a certain point of its development. To the best of our knowledge, no data of similar scope and accuracy has been available so far. This has induced us to publish our fire tests, in the belief that our test methods and results may serve as a useful guide for further tests (e.g. in larger or higher rooms or by independent authorities).
