Pickard, R.W. and Hird, D., 1957. THE EFFECT OF CEILING HEIGHT ON THE SPACING OF HEAT-SENSITIVE FIRE DETECTORS. Fire Research Notes 316


ABSTRACT

The variation in the temperature of the air beneath a ceiling due to a fire has been examined for a range of ceiling heights. The results have been used to derive a relation between the spacing of fire detectors and the height of the ceiling on which they are mounted.
