Título Investigation into the ignition and melting characteristics of apparel fabrics subjected to a radiative heat flux
Información bibliográfica HMSO Books, P.O. Box 276, London SW8 5DT, United Kingdom, Sep. 1990. 79p. Illus. 43 ref.
Resumen This report reviews the literature on the ignition and melting characteristics of everyday clothing subjected to a radiative heat flux and provides a methodology whereby ignition and melting times may be predicted and the minimum critical heat flux for ignition/melting be determined. The predicted ignition/melting behaviour of fabrics subjected to a radiative heat flux is compared with experimentally obtained data. The methodology is discussed and recommendations as to how it may be improved are outlined.
