A simple laboratory method for determining ignitability of materials
Abstract
A simple laboratory method for determining ignitability of materials is described. The apparatus consists of a Mellen high-flux heater capable of producing up to 13 W/sq cm heat flux, a Medtherm water-cooled radiometer for measuring heat flux, a mounting frame to hold all components in proper position, and specimen holders of the type used for the NBS smoke test. Time to ignition at different heat flux levels is recorded. Test results are presented for a variety of materials.
