What is the flame spread rating for glass?
Class 0 in uk
How do flame retardants prevent fires?
Flame retardants reduce the spread of fire on a material by raising the temperature at which it will burn. There are several physical chemistry approaches to reducing flame spread, but see the wikipedia article for more details.
Why is vertical flame spread more rapid than horizontal flame spread?
The heat from a fire in the vertical spread is traveling upward and preheating the fuel about to be burned; whereas in horizontal spread, most of the convective heat is escaping into the atmosphere. Only the radiant heat is warming the material to the side.
What is class 1 flame spread?
The test method used to assess the effectiveness of flame retardant products is BS476, Part 7 1987 and is used to classify a material in terms of "Spread of Flame". Class 1 is a low surface spread of flame, the highest achievable with the test method and is a performance normally required for walls and ceilings. In high risk areas such as escape routes Class 0, limited combustibility, is required. To comply materials must have a Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame and a low fire propagation to BS 476 Part 6 1989. Intumescent coatings are used to prevent the penetration of fire through a structure for a specific period in accordance with BS 476 pARTS 20-23 1987. Such coatings are given classifications with specific periods of time achievements, such as "30 minutes".
What does a wing tip do in the lab?
It can either spread a Bunsen burner flame or cause the other chemists to comment that you are over-dressed.

Function of flame spreader?
to spread flame
How you can calculate the heat irradiative by the flame?
You can calculate the heat of a flame by its color. Normally the hotter that the flame is the bluer that the flame will burn. If the flame is red that means it is burning at a cooler temerature.
What are the ratings and certificates for Flame in the Streets - 1961?
Flame in the Streets - 1961 is rated/received certificates of: Finland:K-16 UK:A (original rating) UK:PG (video rating)
IS stone combustible or not?
Stone is considered to be non-combustible. Stone has no fire rating at all. Stone has been tested before and shows zero fire hazard and shows zero flame spread.
How can calculate ka rating?
.
How do you calculate the efficincy of gas burner?
Divide the output rating by the input rating
