6、 flame.DISCUSSIONBase burn is also known as base fabric ignition orfusing. The base burns used to establish a Class 3 fabric are those burnsresulting from surface flash that occur on specimens in places otherthan the point of impingement when the warp and fill yarns of a raisedsurface textile fabric
