- Abstract
- Significant advances in the understanding of ignition and flame spread have been made, but their routine application to the testing of materials has not been accomplished. This study deals with an attempt to develop practical test procedures which lead to useful correlations for predicitng ignition and flame spread of materials. The technique utilizes a radiant heater apparatus which provides a uniform heat flux in ignition studies or a decreasing heat flux away from the initiation point for flame spread studies.
