Abstract

The use of a laboratory ablation test ring for the assessment of tubular asbestos‐reinforced composites is described. Ablation resistance, char depth, smoke, and flash measurements have been made on a series of composites produced using asbestos fiber with a variety of commercially available high‐temperature resin binders. The results have been compared with those obtained from a standard asbestos/phenolic composite and are discussed in terms of the properties of the composite and its components.
