Cabin Fire Simulator Lavoratory Tests |
| Author: |
Kenneth J. Schutter, Davis M. Klinck |
| Abstract: |
This program compared the effects of irline trash fires in lavoratories constructed of comtemporary and improved materials. Results of the tests are: The exposed animal subject survived without complications, A propagating fire did not develop in adjacent structures, The lab=voratories containing the fires remained structurally intact, Decomposition of portions of the lavoratory did occur. |

| Abstract: |
As a consequence of the Continental DC-10 aircraft accident at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on March 1, 1978, which involved an extensive fuel spill fire and the subsequent loss of the evacuation slides, a cursory look at the potential fire failure modes of slide fabrics was initiated at NAFEC.
An evaluation of the thermal resistively of aircraft evacuation slide materials was conducted employing laboratory and outdoor fire test procedures. Laboratory findings in the NBS Smoke Chamber were based upon both visual failure times and smoke density measurements of flat rectangular samples of slide material. Additional laboratory determinations were based on the depressurations times of short inflated samples of slide materials when exposed to known radiant heat flux levels. Outdoor tests were conducted by exposing a representatives slide materials to free burning aviation fuel fire in both the pressurized and unpressureized modes. The experimental results include radiation and temperature data and visual observation of the behavior of the slide samples. |

Antimisting Fuel Spillage/Air Shear Tests at Navel Weapons Center |
| Author: |
A. San Miguel, M.D. Williams |
| Abstract: |
A test apparatus consisting of large-scale airfoil located within a temperature-velocity-controlled airstream was used to evaluate the fire suppression afforded by FM9 antimisting fuel additive in Jet A. A homogeneous low turbine air-stream between 100 to 170 knots was used to obtain crash survivable antimisting fuel kinematic data. It was demonstrated hat FM9 could be an effective anitmisting agent. The failure envelope for FM9 in 27 degree C Jet A fuel was measured for agent concentrations from 0.3 to 0.5 percent and 32 degree airflow velocities between 100 and 170 knots. |

Design Of An Apparatus For Testing The Flammability Of Fuel Sprays |
| Author: |
Thor I. Eklund, William E. Neese |
| Abstract: |
An automated small-scale test apparatus was developed for flammability testing of modified fuels. The test configuration consists of a � inch fuel delivery tube within a 1-inch air atomization pipe followed by a diffuser section. A pressurized 30-gallon air tank supplies the atomization air while a syringe pump provides a specified fuel quantity for all tests. Isentropic calculations and hot wire anemometer measurements characterize the airflow during the transient air release. Oscillograph traces specify the sequencing and timing of events. It is concluded that this transient test is a practical device for modified fuel testing because of its simple construction, well-defined operation, and capability of distinguishing between candidate activities. |
