Burn through issues for aircraft interiors

Burn through issues for aircraft interiors

Burn through issues for aircraft interiors

(OP)
Hi, I am new to the aerospace industry and wonder if anyone can assist me with a question related to 'burn through'. As I understand it, the issue of burn through can be, as an example, applicable to galley equipment. In the event of extreme heat or exposure to a flame, the rate of burn through a galley monument or partition wall becomes very important.

Can anyone give me a summary of the burn through issue or let me know where I can find information please,

Thank you,
Jeff

RE: Burn through issues for aircraft interiors

have you looked at the FAA's AC on this ?

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

RE: Burn through issues for aircraft interiors

There is also the SMOKE, FIRE AND FUMES IN TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT document from the Royal Aeronautical for general back ground.

Plus there are quite a number of Cabin fire related reports on FAA website (they seem to have moved since I last looked).
