The flammability of upholstered furniture is a major concern of engineers and others across a wide swath of organizations. This book was written to provide its audience with the science and engineering need to better understand the combustibility of the products they manufacture, purchase, and try to extinguish. Beginning with a brief overview of materials, safety design and standards, the text covers topics such as flame ignition, spread, toxic gases, heat release rateBeddingFire testingFire resistant materialsFurnitureFire testingUpholsteryFire testingUpholstered furnitureFire testingBeddingFire testing.Fire resistant materials.FurnitureFire testing.UpholsteryFire testing.Upholstered furnitureFire testing.628.9222645.4Krasny John1396239Parker W.
