NONCOMBUSTIBILITY: A MARINE VIEW

Paper discusses the characteristics a procedure should embody to be considered suitable for testing shipboard construction materials. Results of recent experiments with various noncombustibility test procedures are discussed and limitations of current procedures are explored. Some criticisms of the concept of noncombustibility are examined and suggestions made for reconciling differences among specific procedures.
