An examination of piloted ignition characteristics of cellulosic materials using the ISO ignitability test

Abstract

Abstract The ISO Ignitability Test apparatus is used to determine the times to ignition for cellulosic materials under an incident radiative flux within the range 1‐‐5 kW/m 2 . A linear relationship is determined between time to ignition and incident flux, and a means of using these results to classify building materials is proposed, based upon an empirical flux‐time product.
