Laboratory Test Techniques for Evaluating the Thermal Protection of Materials when Exposed to Various Heat Sources.

Abstract

The report presents the laboratory test techniques used for evaluating the thermal protection characteristics of materials when exposed to a number of heat sources. The parameters of prime importance are athermancy and thermal shrinkage. The techniques described, combined with an off line data reduction package, provide a measure of materials thermal protection against human skin burns. (Author)
