The NASA STI Program Office...in Profile
Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to
the advancement of aeronautics and spacescience. The NASA Scientific and Technical
Information (STI) Program Office plays a key
part in helping NASA maintain this importantrole.
The NASA STI Program Office is operated byLangley Research Center, the lead center forNASA's scientific and technical information. The
NASA STI Program Office provides access to theNASA STI Database, the largest collection of
aeronautical and space science STI in the world. The
Program Office is also NASA's institutionalmechanism for disseminating the results of its
research and development activities. These resultsare published by NASA in the NASA STI Report
Series, which includes the following report types:
TECHNICAL PUBLICATION. Reports ofcompleted research or a major significant phase
of research that present the results of NASA
programs and include extensive data ortheoretical analysis. Includes compilations of
significant scientific and technical data andinformation deemed to be of continuing reference
value. NASA's counterpart of peer-reviewed
formal professional papers but has less stringentlimitations on manuscript length and extent of
graphic presentations.
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM. Scientific and
technical findings that are preliminary or ofspecialized interest, e.g., quick release reports,
working papers, and bibliographies that containminimal annotation. Does not contain extensive
analysis.
CONTRACTOR REPORT. Scientific and
technical findings by NASA-sponsoredcontractors and grantees.
CONFERENCE PUBLICATION. Collected
papers from scientific and technical conferences,
symposia, seminars, or other meetings sponsored
or cosponsored by NASA.
SPECIAL PUBLICATION. Scientific, technical,
or historical information from NASA programs,
projects, and mission, often concerned with
subjects having substantial public interest.
TECHNICAL TRANSLATION.
English-language translations of foreign scientificand technical material pertinent to NASA'smission.
Specialized services that complement the STI
Program Office's diverse offerings include creating
custom thesauri, building customized databases,organizing and publishing research results.., even
providing videos.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
PROMOTED COMBUSTION TEST PROPAGATION RATE DATA
1. INTRODUCTION
Combustion propagation rate data were examined for potential use in benchmaxking a thermal
model of the Promoted Combustion Test (PCT) and for potential use in measuring the repeatability of
PCT results. Propagation rates as functions of chamber pressure were compiled both from standard test
records and from detailed examination of PCT videotapes. The results displayed in the data sheets (see
appendices) demonstrate (1) a very weak dependence of propagation rate on pressure and (2) improved
repeatability (reduced scatter) of propagation rate at any pressure when the rate is calculated from
frame-by-frame examination of PCT videotapes.
2. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Propagation rate data acquired from the PCT are typically calculated by dividing the burn length
(initial length minus final length) of the rod by the time that it took for the sample to burn. This is
referred to as the standard propagation rate. A problem arises in determining the elapsed time of the
bum. Calculation procedures vary from sample to sample and operator to operator due to the difficulty
in judging when the test is complete and thus when to stop the timer. Some technicians wait until there is
no light left in the chamber. Others stop the timer when the last drop of slag has fallen, believing that the
light in the chamber, late in the test, is caused by burning slag in the drip cup instead of combustion on
the rod. Further uncertainty is introduced by variation in the start of the timer. Uncertainty in the calcula-
tion procedure contributes to uncertainty and perceived variation in the recorded propagation rate.
3. PLAN OF THE EXPERIMENT
Recent PCT videotapes were reviewed in an effort to make the propagation rate calculation more
accurate and consistent. Video records of each test were examined in detail. The rod length and time
were noted after every drop of a molten slag ball. The unconsumed rod lengths were measured as con-
tinuous functions of the test run time. Consumed length was plotted against time. The propagation rate
derived from the slope of this line is referred to as the detailed propagation rate. Detailed propagation
rates have been plotted against pressure for eight different materials; these data are shown in the appen-
dices. Detailed propagation rates for several materials axe plotted against pressure (one material per data
sheet),andpowerlawfunctionsaxefit to thedata.Thedensity,thermalconductivity,specificheat,meltingpoint,andcompositionof eachmaterialaxealsorecordedonthedatasheets.Thematerialsaddressedincludeonelow-alloysteel,twonickelalloys,fourstainlesssteels,andonecobaltalloy.
4. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
The detailed propagation rates increase with pressure for all but one of these materials, although
this increase is rather slight (proportional to pressure to the power of 0.2 to 0.5). This conclusion would
have been difficult to make if only standard propagation rate data were available, because of the scatterof these data.
Propagation rates calculated by standard (nondetailed) methods, as recorded on the original test
record data sheets, axe also shown in the data sheets in the appendices for comparison. The scatter of the
detailed propagation rates as functions of pressure are much lower than those of the standard propaga-
tion rates. Therefore, it appears that repeatability of PCT results might be better than had been thought,
at least regarding propagation rate.
It should be noted that the detailed propagation rate method is not accurate if the sample does
not drip at least four times. Further, neither the detailed nor the standard propagation rates axe accurate
for materials which self-extinguish immediately after ignition, because the burned length is more a result
of the energy of ignition than of combustion of the material.
5. CONCLUSION
The results acquired from combustion propagation rate data demonstrate a very weak
dependence of propagation rate on pressure, and an improved repeatability of PCT testing.
