Bowes, P.C., 1952. THE DETERMINATION OF THE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF SOLIDS BY A RISING TEMPERATURE METHOD. Fire Research Notes 10


ABSTRACT

The definition and utility of ignition temperatures of solid materials determined by a rising temperature method are investigated. Ignition temperature is a characteristic with definite, but limited, applications; except when extreme values occur it is not considered to be a valid index of fire hazard.
