THE MINIMUM INTENSITY FOR THE SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF CELLULOSIC MATERIALS

Simms, D.L., 1958. THE MINIMUM INTENSITY FOR THE SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF CELLULOSIC MATERIALS. Fire Research Notes 361


ABSTRACT

Some previous notes on factors which affect the ignition of materials by radiation have mentioned their effect on the minimum intensity of radiation at which ignition occurred. The experimental data is summarised in this note and a qualitative explanation for the effects is given in terms of the loss in volatile content of the solid.
