Report: FSR-0149 Pages: 14 Size: 622 KB
Title: The Firewall Insulation for 3500 degree Flame Impingement
Author: R.J. Palmer
Abstract: Preliminary screening flame impingement tests with temperature adjusted to 3500 degree at impact surface from an oxygen acetylene torch was applied to a number of additional materials since issuance of LR-AD-1463 on 3/16/62. Results of these tests are reported in this addendum.

Title: Surface Flammability Measurements By The Radiant Panel Method
Author: A.F. Robertson
Abstract: The flammability of solids may be considered as a function of the ratio of heat release rate to critical ignition energy of the material being studied. The radiant panel flammability test method, based on the concept, has shown its usefulness as a research tool. A review of previous studies made by this method is included.

Recently obtained experimental data are presented which illustrate the large changes in flammability that can occur with changes in the relative humidity of the ambient conditioning atmosphere. Data presented suggest that the subsurface heat dissipation behavior of the material under test may have an important influence on flammability.

The paper concludes with the suggestion that, although the radiant panel flammability test method has achieved some recognition, it would be a mistake to assume that it, or any other test method would be ideal for prediction of the surface flammability hazard of all materials in all situations.

Title: Surface Flammability Of Cellular Plastic Foams
Author: D. Gross, J.J. Loftus
Abstract: Flame spread indices for twelve cellular plastic foams, including fire-retardant treated and untreated polyurethane foams, are reported. There appear to be no serious drawbacks to the use of the radiant panel test method for evaluating surface flammability of cellular plastic foams. Discussion is included on the use slightly modified data techniques in particular applications.
