Abstract

A theoretical approach is developed for evaluating quantitatively the heat evolved during a reaction‐to‐fire test. This involves determining the transfer function from two head balance equations, one concerning the walls and the other the air in the test box. A comparison between this theoretical approach and the empirical β€˜area under the curve’ method has been made for 34 tests on electrical cables. It is shown that the empirical method is unacceptable.
