Nonthermal Fire Damage

This paper deals with the general relationships between nonther mal damage and fire initiation, fire spread, generation of fire products, en vironmental conditions, and orientation and surface characteristics of targets. Data reported in the literature by various researchers have been used in the paper to discuss the relationships. Tests currently being used to assess corro sion in various laboratories and the long-range nonthermal damage research at Factory Mutual Research Corporation are reviewed.
