THE THERMAL TESTING OF HEAT-SENSITIVE FIRE DETECTORS

Pickard, R.W., Hird, D. and Nash, P., 1957. THE THERMAL TESTING OF HEAT-SENSITIVE FIRE DETECTORS. Fire Research Notes 247


ABSTRACT

The thermal conditions to which heat-sensitive fire detectors must respond when a fire occurs have been investigated. The resulting knowledge of the air temperatures and velocities beneath the ceiling of the room involved, has been used in suggesting a test procedure for the performance of heat-sensitive detectors.
