- Abstract
- This document is a listing of the flame spread and smoke generation results of a range of materials that were tested under the Operation BREAKTHROUGH housing evaluation program. The test results reported here were obtained under differing conditions and should not be considered the results of a comprehensive and unified research program for evaluation of interior finish materials. Tables of test results and a brief discussion of the results are presented for walls, ceilings, kitchen cabinets and floor coverings. (NOTE: The complete Operation Breakthrough collection is housed at the University of Florida, Gainesville. For additional information contact the Archivist at 352-392-6547.)
