Abstract
Release rate tests were made on upholstery systems at several radiant heat flux levels to determine the effect a fiberglass barrier has on their com bustibility. Four fabrics and two foams were used. From results of release rate tests on these typical upholstery systems, with and without the barrier, it was possible to determine the amount of combustible material (foam and batting) behind the barrier that is "burned" as a function of time and incident flux.
