Petroleum and related products. Determination of spray ignition characteristics of fire-resistant fluids. Spray test. Stabilised flame heat release method | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This document specifies a method by which the fire hazards of pressurised sprays of fire-resistant fluids can be compared. Two sizes of propane flame are used to ignite and stabilise combustion of an air-atomised release of fluid. Measurements related to the rate of heat release, length of flame and density of smoke give quantitative information on the fire behaviour of the fluid.
