The initial phase of the program was to identify or develop the required methodologies. A range of potential hazards are imposed by class 1.3 and 1.4 materials. By the basic nature of these materials, the hazards are all fire related, but the fires can be sustained burns or quick bursts (fireballs). Potential for harm from these materials is due to radiant heat and firebrands. This test methodology development program was divided into three parts. The initial step was to identify (from the literature) or develop scaling models for evaluating experimental results for free standing flames and fireballs, enclosure fires (i.e., storage facilities), and firebrand lofting. Flame characteristics of interest included the heat flux emitted from the flame and the flame geometry.
