-As part of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) research project to assess fire behavior in electrical enclosures, rate of spread and heat release rate measurements were made on various plastics lining a parallel panel apparatus. The panels were 0.6~m (2~ft) wide, 2.4~m (8~ft) tall, and separated by 0.3~m (1~ft). A 60~kW propane sand burner was positioned at the base of the two panels. Plastics tested to date include PMMA, PVC, and PBT, cut into 6.4~mm (0.25~in) thick panels. A sketch of the apparatus, originally developed by Factory Mutual, is shown in Fig.~\ref{Parallel_Panel_Sketch}.

 The Parallel Panel experiment involving black PMMA is part of the suite of cases contributed to the MaCFP (Measurements and Computation of Fire Phenomena) working group of the IAFSS. Its properties are listed in Section~\ref{NIST_Polymers_Properties}.
