The distance between the flame of the flame and the valve of the aerosoth must be increased by 6 cm if the spray can occur at a distance of 60 cm. The distance shall be reduced by six centimeters if there is no ignition of the spray at a distance of 60 cm between the flame of the incinerator and the valve of the aerosoth. The purpose of this method is to determine the maximum distance between the valve of the aerospace valve and the flame where there is a constant burning, or to establish that there is no ignition site at a distance of 15 cm between the fuels ; Flame and aerobial valve.
