Abstract

The basic fire triangle of oxygen, fuel, and heat becomes much more complicated when it is used as an experimental model. A discussion of major test variables introduces a comparison of the tube furnace, torch, heated cup (crucible), and radiant heater as fire models for laboratory tests. Note: Based on a paper presented by Dr. Terrill as an invited speaker in Symposium on the Flammability and Combustion of Non-Metallic Materials, 172nd National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, September 1, 1976, San Francisco.
