FIELD: fire-fighting, particularly to determine material burning limit from flow velocity, which is basic index characterizing material burning quality under zero gravity.
SUBSTANCE: method for material burning limit Vlim determination involves placing sample in combustion chamber made as flat horizontal channel, in resting gaseous medium.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of fire protection in inhabited pressurized spacecraft compartments and possibility of fire-extinguishing therein without fire-extinguishant usage, increased accuracy of material burning limit determination, decreased costs due to elimination of test performing in freely falling containers, laboratory airplanes and space stations.
