Page 249 - 11.6 Measure the distance burned, ie, the point of farthest advance of the flame front, to the nearest 0.1 cm. From the flux profile curve, convert the distance to watts/cm 2 critical radiant heat flux at flame out. Read to two significant figures. A suggested data log format is shown in Figure
