Estimating Room Flashover Potential

V. Babrauskas

Room flashover is the ultimate event in a fire signalling the untenability for the occupants. Despite this importance, hazard evaluations of furnishings and other common fuel loads have normally not been based on estimates of flashover potential. A simple combustion model is considered and available experimental data examined.
