Hird, D., Pickard, R.W., Fittes, D.W. and Nash, P., 1958. THE USE OF HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE WATER SPRAYS AGAINST FULLY DEVELOPED ROOM FIRES. Fire Research Notes 342
ABSTRACT
Large-scale extinction tests in fully developed room fires have shown that neither the rate of application, within the range from 5 to 25 gallons per min., nor the nozzle pressure within the range 80 - 500 p.s.i., aftect appreciably the amount of water used to control or extinguish this type of fire. It is suggested that the ideal equipment would enable the fire to be controlled with a spray and finally extinguished with a jet.
