Book Description
"Leaders in an impressive variety of industries and Government agencies were briefed for two days in May 1970 at the Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston on studies of combustion, tests of materials, and methods of curbing fires. The research and development work described was done as part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Apollo program to land men on the Moon. The hazards were extraordinary, and both new procedures and new materials were developed to protect the astronauts in the spacecraft. This Special Publication was compiled from technical papers prepared for that Conference on Materials for Improved Fire Safety."--Preface.

Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
The committee that prepared this report was charged with assessing the state of fire safety research and describing the potential role of the NSF in improving fire safety in the United States. This report highlights markers along a pathway to the future, discusses the nation's fire research needs and the resources that will be required, and suggests a role for NSF and other key agencies and institutions. The committee urges national leaders in government and industry to aggressively support fire research needs, filling voids in the body of knowledge, sharpening engineering tools, and creating a database that will allow performance-based approaches to maximize their contribution to public safety in the United States.

Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309174511
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The reduction of the fire hazard of fuel is critical to improving survivability in impact-survivable aircraft accidents. Despite current fire prevention and mitigation approaches, fuel flammability can overwhelm post-crash fire scenarios. The Workshop on Aviation Fuels with Improved Fire Safety was held November 19-20, 1996 to review the current state of development, technological needs, and promising technology for the future development of aviation fuels that are most resistant to ignition during a crash. This book contains a summary of workshop discussions and 11 presented papers in the areas of fuel and additive technologies, aircraft fuel system requirements, and the characterization of fuel fires.

Systematic Control of Nonmetallic Materials for Improved Fire Safety
Author: General Electric Company
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fire testing
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
"Making a product or an area fire-safe is a complex problem, with many interactive variables. Flammable nonmetallic materials, ignition sources, oxygen-rich atmospheres, fire detection, and fire extinguishment are some of them. A systematic approach to this complex problem is presented in this report. ...The system described in this report was developed for the Apollo spacecraft, and is not, for example, directly applicable to house construction or television set production. The system can, however, be tailored to many industrial, commercial, and military activities."--p.1.
