- Abstract
- A method and equipment for use in determining the rate of flame propagation and other burning characteristics of sheet materials wherein a test strip of material is supported adjacent its opposite edges and after being ignited is advanced toward the burning zone at a rate sufficient to maintain szid zone in a predetermined location. The spped at which the strip of material is moved toward the burning zone is observed and recorded whereby the rate of flame propagation in the material under the test conditions can be determined.
