FIRE CONTAINMENT TESTS OF AIRCRAFT INTERIOR PANELS

A program of experimental fires has been carried out to determine the effectiveness and usefulness of a burner to simulate various fire loads under different ventilation conditions in an enclosure of approximately similar dimensions as an aircraft lavatory module. The objective of the program was to develop fire containment criteria of aircraft interior panels such as burn-through time, rate of back face temperature rise, evaluation of selected combustible and toxic gases, heat flux rate, and other parameters that affect fire containment such as structural integrity.
