The Concept and Measurement of Extinguishability as a Flammability Criterion

摘要: Burning experiments in enclosed spaces have shown that oxygen depletion leading to flame extinction occurs even a relatively large volume of air, because convection is only partially effective supplying air burning and removing products combustion pyrolysis. Quantitative evaluation extinguishability through determined under realistic conditions would, therefore, be valuable indication the hazard potential material. Accordingly, method has been developed for establishing characteristiol minimum-burning condition terms concentration which results more stringent criterion innate flammability material than conventional index (O.I.) value. The TRI Flammability Analyzer used measure steady-state propagation rates at several concentrations high enough support steady burning. Extrapolating resultant linear rate relation zero rate-yields an in...
