Influence of Antimony-Halogen Additives on Flame Propagation

July 8, 2016
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Peter Deglmann, Gregory T. Linteris, Roland H. Kraemer
A kinetic model for flame inhibition by antimony-halogen compounds in hydrocarbon flames is developed. Thermodynamic data for the relevant species are assembled from the literature, and calculations are performed for a large set of additional species of Sb

Results of barrier fabrics tested in an inverted configuration

Rick D. Davis, Shonali Nazare, Szabolcs Matko, William M. Pitts, Mauro Zammarano
The document will be used to facilitate discussions between California Bureau of Electronics and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation (CBEARHFTI) and us (Fire Research Division (FRD) at the National Institute of Standards and

International R&D Roadmap for Fire Resistance of Structures Summary of NIST/CIB Workshop

June 11, 2015
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Matthew F. Bundy, John L. Gross, Anthony P. Hamins, Fahim Sadek, Anand Raghunathan
This report summarizes the results of the global meeting to develop the International R&D Roadmap for Fire Resistance of Structures (the Roadmap) held May 21–22, 2014, in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The workshop was sponsored by the National Institute of

Investigation of Surrogate Smoldering Ignition Sources for Testing Soft Furnishings

March 1, 2015
Author(s)
Richard G. Gann, Morgan Bruns, Amanda Robbins, Edward J. Hnetkovsky, Michael Ladas
The introduction of cigarette ignition propensity standards has led to a reduction in the availability of high ignition propensity commercial cigarettes. Since high ignition propensity cigarettes are needed for soft furnishing flammability tests, a

Experimental and Numerical Simulations of the Gas-Phase Effectiveness of Phosphorus Compounds

February 2, 2015
Author(s)
Nicolas Bouvet, Gregory T. Linteris, Valeri I. Babushok, Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta
The effectiveness of phosphorus-containing compounds as gas-phase combustion inhibitors varies widely with flame type. To understand this behavior, experiments are performed with dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) added to the oxidizer stream of methane-air
