The piloted ignition of six common thermoplastics has been studied by exposing horizontal samples (65 x 65 x 6 mm thick) to irradiance levels in the range 10-40 kw m-\*. Fine thermocouples were attached to the exposed face and allowed the surface temperature to be monitored continuously. Times to su
This paper presents the progress of an experimental study to develop a laboratory-scale test to define the burning intensity of various commercial samples of plastics. In the study, a steady state heat balance at the burning surface has been used to derive the burning intensities. An 'ideal' burning
Critical ignition temperatures have been found for eight self-heating or thermally unstable chemical substances, using an adiabatic self-heating test. From the experiments, the self-heating behaviour of the substances has been classified into two groups. The first group has been termed 'T-C' (therma
