In any industrial fire, the size of the event is important knowledge as it can guide in the proper design of equipments and facilities. This paper looks at the flame height of propellant fires through distance measurement of experimental tests video recordings. It is found that by properly scaling the configuration variables, a simple relationship is obtained between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the event. The final result is coherent with the conclusions of previous studies involving a variety of other materials. 000013858 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000013858 653__ $$a 000013858 7112_ $$a24th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics$$cMontreal (CA)$$d2016-08-21 / 2016-08-26$$gICTAM2016 000013858 720__ $$aPaquet, Frederick 000013858 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000013858 8564_ $$s66869$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/13858/files/PO.FM03-2.03.3.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, XMLout( page 637, code PO.FM03-2.03.3). 000013858 962__ $$r13812 000013858 980__ $$aPAPER
