    Field test and evaluation of residential sprinkler systems: Part II (1984)
    Springer
    Fire technology 20 (1984), S. 48-58

    ISSN: 1572-8099

    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Abstract A series of National Fire Protection Association full-scale tests involving sprinkler installations was conducted in a two-story residence in Los Angeles, CA, and in a mobile home in Charlotte, NC. Previous laboratory tests, including full-scale room fire tests, had indicated that a prototype “quick-response” sprinkler was effective in controlling residential home fires. More full-scale fire tests under less controlled and more operational conditions were considered necessary to confirm or deny this conclusion. Part I of this three-part series (November 1983) explained the objectives of the tests and the test procedures that were to be followed. This second part describes the criteria used to evaluate the effectiveness of sprinkler systems using the “quick response” sprinkler in the series of seventy-six tests and the results of those tests. Part III will cover that phase of the test program that focused on a comparison of sprinkler and smoke detector activation times in the mobile home test structure.

    Methodologies for hazard analysis and risk assessment in the petroleum refining and storage industry — Part I (1984)
    Springer
    Fire technology 20 (1984), S. 23-38 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8099
    Keywords: Hazard analysis ; risk assessment ; risk management ; explosion ; fire ; risk avoidance ; hazard indices ; HAZOP ; quantitative analysis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Abstract The report briefly describes the consecutive steps in the identification, assessment and comparison of hazards and associated risk. These techniques can be helpful in setting the priorities for the decision on measures to reduce risk. When quantifying risk for the comparison of alternative cases, the use of a consistent data base is stressed. It is pointed out that the risk assessment techniques described in the report, although potentially valuable tools for improving overall safety performance, have shortcomings particularly in dealing with human factors. A glossary is appended to define terms as they are used in this report and a list of recommended further reading is included. Part II will appear inFire Technology, November 1984.

    Keywords: Mobile home ; sprinklers ; smoke detector ; fire tests

    Notes: Abstract A series of full-scale fire tests utilizing prototype “quick-response” sprinklers was conducted in a two-story residence in Los Angeles, CA, and a mobile home in Charlotte, NC. A prime objective of the program was to test the performance of alternative sprinkler designs to “control” the development of fire in single-family dwellings and mobile homes. Part of the mobile home test series focused on a study of the comparative activation times of sprinklers and smoke detectors installed in the same areas under a variety of test conditions. The results of that phase of the test program are given here.
