Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Fire Testing: Nist Technical Note 1628 Basic breakthroughs in science, engineering, and measurement technology have brought fire testing to its current state of maturity. It has been a long and slow process that has seen several significant periods of growth. This growth in fire knowledge is associated with developments from a small number of scientists and engineers. The complete understanding of fire and its behavior in the wide range of environments awaits discovery and will be accomplished by future generations. Currently, there is still much to be learned about fire and much yet to be done with the development of and application of fire test methods. This treatise provides a history of the science that supports present work, the development of tools that make the study of fire possible, and the development of fire test methods that reflect the state of present day technology. The work is not meant to be a complete and comprehensive dissertation on the development of fire test methods but is an attempt to highlight significant contributions that have influenced the development of fire testing, in North America.

Download or read book Notes on Boiler Testing Classic Reprint written by Frederick Grover and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Boiler Testing The following notes on the testing of steam boilers are intended to refer only to such tests as are necessary to examine the economic performances of the boiler, and not to the testing which must be done to ascertain its structural defects. Such tests are no doubt of equal importance as affecting the safety of the community at large, and are generally dealt with by the boiler insurance companies. As far as the purchaser of a boiler is concerned, the question of paramount importance is that it shall raise steam economically. He may be assured by the insurance company that his boiler is safe. Here, however, the responsibility of the company will cease, unless private arrangements are made at additional cost for systematic tests of the boiler under steam with a view to ascertaining its steam-raising qualities. It is to this equally important side of the question that the author desires to draw the attention of large steam users, feeling, as he does, that the subject is not recognised by them as deeply affecting the profits of their industrial concerns. One has only to seek information amongst those who have set themselves to reduce their expenditure in fuel, to learn how much may be done in this direction. Sometimes improvements may be carried out at very small cost. In some instances the writer has been able to effect an economy of 10 per cent of the heat by the mere regulation of the air passing through the flues. Such a process is not costly. To leave the state of the fires to the care of the fireman is likely to lead to serious losses, his only object being to maintain a constant steam pressure and water level.
