10、specimen is ignited by means of a38 mm high flame from an appropriate burner,and the burningrate of the material is determined.4.2 The rate of burning is determined by measurements ofthe horizontal distance burned in relation to the time ofburning,and reported for each set of specimens.5.Significanc
11、e and Use5.1 This test method provides a standard laboratory proce-dure for measuring and comparing the burning rates ofpolymeric materials under specified controlled conditions.5.2 The rate of burning is affected by such factors as density,direction of rise,and type and amount of surface treatments
