- Abstract
- Results of 5 different floor coverings (including 4 PVC floor coverings) are given when tested in a full scale room corridor test rig where it is assumed to obtain a wind aided surface spread of flame. Comparisons with traditional small scale tests such as the radiant flooring panel and the Cone Calorimeter are made in order to investigate their ability to predict wind aided surface spread of flame.
