... The rates of flame spread and minimum oxygen concentrations supporting flame spared over thermally thick fuel beds were determined at earth gravity and microgravity for varying concentrations of a gaseous extinguishing agent (N 2 , CO 2 , or He) added to “baseline” O 2 -N 2 atmospheres.

... A dimensionless “flame acceleration factor” (FAF) based on an existing concurrent flame spread model that includes consideration of fuel burnout, has been used to evaluate the flame spread on thin rooflight (or skylight) materials. The FAF is a function of ignition time, burning duration...

... the need for renewed emphasis on fire testing of wires, cables and electrical materials. Cable fire tests can be subdivided into 5 categories: (a) Old fashioned small scale tests, which generally address only ignitability or flame spread, but the results of which are rarely meaningful in terms of real fire...

... temperatures, and flame spread on the wall lining material. A thermal theory of wind-aided flame spread on thick solids is examined and solutions are given and analyzed for flame spread velocities under ceilings. The results from the models are compared with experiments on 22 materials tested in the full...

.... In the intraluminal test, the LOI with helium as the diluent gas is lower than that with nitrogen as the diluent, in contrast to results using ASTM D 2863. The effects of buoyancy are reduced in the intraluminal test, and the results may therefore be more applicable to low gravity environments. Flame spread...

If the LOI is exceeded outside the tube, an extraluminal flame (the third flame type) can occur, and be supported by natural convection. flame spread underventilated endotracheal tube oxygen index fire safety...

... The literature reviewed indicates that oxygen concentration, diluents, and pressure in combustion-test environments can influence the ignition and flame-spread rates of nonmetals. Increased oxygen concentrations result in easier ignition and higher flame-spread rates. The flame-spread rate...
