Compartment-scale tests were conducted to evaluate the fire performance of items found in typical dry goods storage spaces on DDG-51 class destroyers. Packaging materials included cardboard boxes, Kraft paper and polyethylene bubble wrap. Toilet paper, paper towels, and copy paper were used as representative flammable stock items. Heat release rate (HRR) was measured by oxygen consumption calorimetry. It was found that both the nature of the material and the packing density affected the peak HRR. Polyethylene produced higher values than paper materials due to the greater heat of combustion; low density packing led to higher HRR than high density packing, due to greater oxygen availability. / NOTE: Memorandum Report. / Supplementary Notes: The original document contains color images. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
