Description / Abstract:
This Technical Specification provides a method to determine the
oxygen concentration threshold when a material exposed to a
standard ignition source self-extinguishes at a given constant
total pressure, temperature, convective flow, and gravity-level
conditions. The method can also be used to determine other
flammability limits, such as the total pressure or forced
convective velocity thresholds, while maintaining other test
conditions constant. The flammability thresholds can also be
determined with alternate pass/fail criteria, sample configurations
and/or size, ignition mode, etc. to allow correlations with test
data obtained, for example, under microgravity or reduced-gravity
conditions which may have limited testing time in ground
experiments.
NOTE The method described provides an assessment of the
flammability of aerospace materials under laboratory conditions
only. Nevertheless, the results may be used as elements of a fire
risk assessment which take into account all the pertinent factors
for an assessment of the fire hazard in space systems. Studies on
parametric effects have been initiated to better understand the
applicability of the data.[8]
