- Abstract
- Temperature development and visual observations are reported for a series of preliminary small-scale tests for fire resistance. The type of interior finish (fire-resistive gypsum or thin plywood) was the dominant factor in the fire performance of the wall panel. The data will be useful in the development and evaluation of theoretical models. These tests are preliminary to a planned series of full-scale ASTM E 119 wall tests.
