NFPA 287: Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Flammability of Materials in Cleanrooms Using a Fire Propagation Apparatus (FPA), 2001 Edition
Determines and quantifies material flammability characteristics, related to the propensity of materials to support fire propagation, by means of a Fire Propagation Apparatus (FPA). Material flammability characteristics that are quantified by varying an externally applied heat flux include time to ignition (tign), chemical (Qchem) and Convective (Qc) heat release rates, mass loss rates (m), smoke extinction coefficient (D) and metal loss (Closs) due to corrosion from combustion products.
