| Title: | Determination Of Ignition Characteristics Of Hydraulic Fluids - Part 1 - Simulated Flight And Crash Conditions | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | J.J. Gassmann | ||||
| Abstract: | The relative ignitability of various hydraulic fluids has been determined qualitatively under simulated flight and crash conditions. The ignition characteristics of the fluids, under practical aircraft conditions, were the only properties investigated in this test program. Flight conditions were simulated in a full-scale operating B-29 engine installation in which the fluids, released at pressures of 1,000 and 3,000 psi, were exposed to four typical sources of ignition: (1) exhaust flame, (2) hot exhaust stack, (3) ignition spark and (4) burning gasoline. Crash conditions were simulated by bench tests in which the fluids were ejected at 3,000 psi through a strong electric arc and an oxy-acetylene flame. Wick fires were simulated by using horizontal and vertical wick test conditions |

| Title: | Investigation Of Fires Originating In Aircraft Vacuum Systems | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | J.J. Gassmann | ||||
| Abstract: | Aircraft fires originating within faulty vacuum systems have been investigated in the laboratory. Bench test and tests in full-scale engine installations of an operating vacuum system have been conducted to determine conditions within the system resulting from blockage of suction and/or pressure lines combined with malfunctioning of the suction and/or reassure relief valves. A simple bench test was developed to duplicate the internal fire conditions which were obtained in earlier tests, but without destroying a vacuum pump in each investigation as occurred in those tests. Control of conditions was refined until tests could be easily and accurately duplicated. Various vacuum piping systems, including systems in use and those proposed for future use, were compared to determine the relative abilities of the systems to withstand internal fire. |

| Title: | The Development Of Fire-Retardant Coatings For Fabric Covered Aircraft | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | S.G. Weisberg | ||||
| Abstract: | Power plant fires tests conducted on small fabric-covered aircraft proved the futility of providing engine fire protection in an aircraft covered with fabric, which would be destroyed by fire within a few seconds. Fabrics treated with cellulose nitrate dope were destroyed by fire within two seconds. Fabrics treated with cellulose acetate butyrate dope were destroyed by fire within six seconds. Fire- retardant coating have been developed which, when applied over fabrics treated with cellulose acetate butyrate dope, markedly increase the resistance to fire of the doped fabrics. |

| Title: | A Computer Model For Estimating the Response of Sprinkler Links to Compartment Fires With Draft Curtains and Fusible Link-actuated Ceiling Vents | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | William Davis | ||||
| Abstract: | A computer program LAVET, is now available which computes the heating of fusible links due to the presence of a ceiling jet imbedded in an upper layer. An important new feature in this program is that the two dimensional structure of the ceiling jet is taken into account such that the location of the link beneath the ceiling lays a role in the response of the link. The links can be used to activate ceiling vents such that the effect of venting the upper layer on the ceiling jet may be studied. Additional applications would include the study of upper layer containment through the use of a combination by the program is that of a large compartment enclosed by a combination of walls and draft curtains. | ||||
