DESIGN OF SPRAYS FOR PROTECTIVE INSTALLATIONS. PART III THE EXTINCTION OF OIL FIRES ON BANKS OF TUBES

Rasbash, D.J. and Stark, G.W., 1958. DESIGN OF SPRAYS FOR PROTECTIVE INSTALLATIONS. PART III THE EXTINCTION OF OIL FIRES ON BANKS OF TUBES. Fire Research Notes 303


ABSTRACT

The minimum intensity of radiation at which materials ignite is affected by the draught conditions. Experiments are described which show that these effects explain certain discrepancies between the results obtained with different apparatus. It is also shown that if ignition occurs in the absence of external draught, the imposition of one does not, in the range of these experiments, affect the ignition time.
