Abstract:

Although three different laboratory-scale tests WE:H: evaluated in this wire program, only the sixty-degree test is currently required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). All test specimens with the exception of MIL-W-5086/1-PVC nylon passed this test with average burn lengths within the 3-inch maximum and no flame time. The MIL-W-5086/1 samples marginally passed the 30-second flame time, and the average burn length was greater than the 3-inch maximum specified in the FAR.
