| Summary: | The standard methods used to derive effective thermal properties of thermally thick materials based on bench-scale radiant exposure tests are reviewed and analyzed. These methods are compared with numerical calculations for the same boundary conditions. Based on these comparisons, a method is presented for adjusting effective thermal inertias to more accurately represent the actual thermal inertias of materials. The analysis is based only on thermal arguments and does not address additional issues related to the determination of material flammability properties. |
