- Abstract
- A furnace, similar to that proposed for adoption by IMCO, for qualifying non-combustible materials was constructed. The performance of a variety of materials when subjected to test in this furnace as well as by a similar test method used in this country, USCG "Specification for Incombustible Materials," were compared. It was observed that the proposed test procedure was more restrictuve for glass fiber insulation material and less restrictive for marine boards incorporating wood sawdust material, than the USCG method.
