The flammability of materials is regarded as a critical design factor in the aerospace industry. Employing flammable materials, however, is inevitable sometimes in developing a launch vehicle. There are several common methods that can reduce the hazard of flammability, such as replacing flammable materials with non-flammable materials and blocking fire propagation paths by using non-flammable material covers. For the first step to ensure fire safety, flammability tests should be performed for the materials employed. In this regard, the materials of KSLV-I upper stage were tested in accordance with the NASA-STD-6001 and ECSS-Q-70-21 standards.
This paper shows how the materials were tested, what the results were, and how the abnormal findings were addressed. In addition, this paper also presents how a flammability test plan for fire safety of KSLV-II will be described.
