The propane torch was used IAW ASTM F1233-08, Section A1.5.2. The flame was continuously applied and was held such that the blue tip of the torch flame was no further than 1-in from the surface of the sample. The flame was initially held at the location of the hole that allowed the 1/8-in contraband rod to pass through at the completion of Sequence 5. The sample material began to melt and the torch flame was used to enlarge the opening. At the conclusion of this sequence, a fine mist of water was used to extinguish the still-burning material. The Forced-Entry Shape was able to pass through the hole created during this sequence. |
