... for combustion and other types of reactions, and a variety of flammability parameters. It can accomplish these calculations making use of its large internal databases of thermochemical properties or by making use of predictive methods for chemicals for which properties have yet to be determined. 10 02 2016...

...David Hirsch; Jim Williams; Harold Beeson Spacecraft materials selection is based on an upward flammability test conducted in a quiescent environment at the highest expected oxygen concentration. However, NASA’s advanced space exploration program is anticipating using various habitable environments...

...DB Hirsch; HD Beeson Qualitative correlations between ground upward flammability tests and flammability testing in microgravity indicate that the NASA STD 6001 Test 1 provides conservative results by sustaining flaming combustion in less severe environments than those in which extinguishment occurs...

...RG Montemayor; MA Collier; GG Lazarczyk The flash point of a liquid material is used to classify whether the material is flammable or combustible. Historically, flash point determination has been done using manual flash point apparatus. However, the advent of automatic flash point apparatus...

...EM Rodak; RJ Taylor; DB Hirsch; LJ Linley A new test method has been adopted to evaluate the flammability of electrical wire insulation materials. In this test, wire insulation is exposed to an external ignition source while the electrical conductor is internally heated by an electric current...

...J Sato Fire spread limits along low flammability metal rods of copper, nickel, Monel (Monel 400), and tin-bronze (BC 3), in a high pressure oxygen atmosphere, have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Theoretical results have shown that two types of low flammability metals exist: one...
