- Abstract
- Three repeat full-scale bedroom fire tests in which the fire grew from an ignition in the middle of a polyurethane mattress to flashover permits us to distinguish in this complex process a series of events which are only loosely coupled to each other. A number of these separable events are briefly described and illustrated.
