Definitions for "Burning Rate"
In solids, the rate at which the burning surface recedes as it combusts. Affected by pressure, temperature and the scrubbing of hot gases.
The rate at which combustion proceeds across a fuel. A specialised use of this term, describes the rate at which the surface of a pool or burning liquid recedes. For gasoline, this rate is reported to be approximately 1/4 inch per minute.
Rapidity with which a powder burns, relative to other powders. The burning rate will dictate the type of firearm it can be used in, as well as the application.
A term describing the tendency of plastics to burn at a given temperature. Certain plastics will burn readily at comparatively low temperatures. Others will melt or disintegrate without actually burning, or will burn only if exposed to a direct flame. The latter are referred to as self-extinguishing.
A term describing the tendency of plastics articles to burn at given temperatures. Certain plastics, such as those based on shellac, burn readily at comparatively low temperatures. Others will melt or disintegrate without actually burning, or will burn only if exposed to direct flame. These latter are often referred to as self-extinguishing.
