BURN STRAND TESTING
Atmospheric Pressure
Strand burn rates are averages where repeats are listed in parenthesis. All burn rates
listed in mm/sec. Polystep B-1 surfactant used as viscosity modifier. Strands were
burned laying horrizontally and were typically ~120 mm in length and 0.25" in diameter.
KNO3 used was very fine, 85% smaller than 200 mesh. 65:35 KNO3/sugar ratio employed.
