Abstract
Methods of incendivity testing include applying a flexible sheet over a test article to form a sealed space between the flexible sheet and a surface region of the test article. Methods further include filling the sealed space with an indicator gas mixture, applying an energy discharge to the test article, and determining whether the indicator gas mixture in the sealed space reacted in response to the energy discharge. The indicator gas mixture may be flammable and may be formed while filling the sealed space. Incendivity test systems include the test article, the flexible sheet sealed to the test article to form the sealed space, a gas control module configured to fill, flush, purge, and/or sample gas in the sealed space, and an energy source configured to apply the energy discharge to the test article.
