Measuring foliar flammability with the limiting oxygen index method
1988
Mak, E.H.T.
This paper stresses the importance of measuring flammability as a combination of ignitability, sustainability, and combustibility in quantitative terms. The Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) method is selected and evaluated as a means to measure ignitability and sustainability. The results demonstrated that the technique can distinguish small differences in ignitability and sustainability with good precision. This can be useful for assessing the influence of foliage properties such a chemical composition on these two flammability components. The third component of flammability, combustibility, has to be measured by a different technique. FOR. SCI. 34(2):523-529.
