Download or read book Adsorption of Halogenated Fire extinguishing Agents on Powders written by Allen J. Barduhn and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The amounts of four different Freons adsorbed by carbon, silica gel, alumina, and molecular sieves were determined at pressures up to 225 lb/sq in. The carbon adsorbed 50 to 100 percent and the silica gels, 30 to 50 percent of their own weight of Freon. Several adsorbed systems were tested in a standard dry-powder extinguisher on a 5-sq-ft gasoline fire for their effectiveness in putting out a fire. One of the Freons (bromotrifluoromethane) and carbon extinguished fires about as well as bicarbonate powder and nitrogen.

Book excerpt: A study has been made of methods of testing small hand-portable fire extinguishers considered suitable for application to flammable liquids. The study was performed by evaluating the effectiveness of the extinguishers, in which 5 different extinguishing agents were used on 10 types of tires, selected either because they had been used in standard extinguisher tests or simulated other possible conditions of hazard. An analysis was made of the relative merit of the fires for extinguisher testing, the effect of ambient variables on the tests, and the value of the several extinguisher types for use on the fires.

Download or read book Fire Protection Systems written by A. Maurice Jones Jr. and published by Jones & Bartlett Publishers. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to architects, engineers, and design professionals, fire fighters also need to understand fire protection systems in order to manage the fire scene and minimize risks to life and property. Fire Protection Systems, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of fire protection systems, their operational abilities and characteristics, and their applications within various types of structures. The new Second Edition meets the latest course objectives from the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education’s (FESHE) Fire Protection Systems model curriculum and covers: • Water supply basics, including sources, distribution networks, piping, and hydrants. • Active fire protection systems and components, their operational characteristics, and installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements. • Passive fire protection systems such as firewalls, fire separation assemblies, and fire dampers • Smoke control and management systems, gas-based suppression, access and egress control systems, and the code requirements for installation of these systems. Ensure that you are completely up-to-date on the latest fire protection systems and their operational characteristics and abilities with Fire Protection Systems, Second Edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents Phase I of an effort to develop concepts for new and more effective fire extinguishing agents. In Phase I a technology review was performed, suppression hypotheses were developed, and a Phase II plan was established. The technology review covers fire physics, chemistry, and engineering information relevant to flame structure, fire modeling, combustion reactions, oxidation kinetics, and fire suppression. The Phase II effort will emphasize halon like agents owing to their cleanliness and ability to suppress three-dimensional fires. Keywords: Extinguishment, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Combustion.

Book excerpt: Trust NFPA 30's protocols to minimize the hazards of flammable and combustible liquids. Adopted by most states and enforceable under OSHA, NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code presents the best guidance on the safe storage, handling, and use of dangerous liquids. It provides the criteria you need to design facilities for better protection, comply with sprinkler rules, and use safe operating practices. Changes and additions in the 2003 edition affect: * Siting of storage tanks * Spill control, normal breather vents, and emergency relief vents for storage tanks * Design of liquids storage cabinets, inside storage areas, and liquid warehouses * Sprinkler design rules for storage of all types of liquids * And more When you work with flammable and combustible liquids, even a seemingly minor oversight or mistake can have major repercussions. Don't compromises safety--insist on NFPA 30!
