TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - New inspection criteria for flashover in compartmental fires JO - Fire and materials A1 - Chow, Wan Ki SP - 13 EP - 15 VL - 23 IS - 1 N2 - Whether flashover occurs in a compartmental fire can be confirmed by observing the phase space diagrams of fire temperature as commonly adopted in chaos studies. Two inspection criteria are proposed for determining flashover. Two full-scale burning tests, one with and the other without flashover, are used to illustrate the inspection approach.
