Spray-on fire protection is widely used in protecting building members, such as beams, against fire. As this protective coating may be damaged during the service life of the beams, it is essential that the effect of this damage on the fire resistance of a steel beam be understood. A numerical study has been conducted to investigate the reduction in the cross-section moment capacity of protected ...
In this investigation, we developed a methodology for inclusion of fire protection and used a methodological approach for fire risk assessment. Present practice of fire risk assessment and prevention measures in the Republic of Serbia is not systematic. To develop a methodological approach of fire risk assessment, a modified matrix for fire risk factors was set up that combines the implementation ...
When it comes to investing in fire protection, it’s not enough to simply seek out the lowest price—at least not if you truly care about your community’s safety. Although your budget will always play a factor in your investments, selecting fire protection valves means weighing features, specs, quality, design and more. But the good news is, you don’t have to weigh all of ...

In order to verify the application of water mist on fire protection of the Potala Palace in Tibet and deepen the knowledge of its suppression mechanisms under high-altitude conditions, a series of experiments are performed with a portable water mist fire protection system and with diesel oil, gasoline and, in Lhasa, ghee as fuels. All of the experimental tests are conducted with and without ...
During the last 100 years, approximately one church per year has been destroyed by fire in Sweden. When a church is lost to fire, invaluable artifacts vanish, both material and immaterial. Churches are important symbols and the cultural-historical value is in most cases very high. The installation of a fire suppression system is often the best measure for improving fire protection. This paper ...

This study aimed to evaluate the potential reuse of a leather tanning district and an urban wastewater treatment plant (UWWTP) effluents. The UWWTP discharges into the Sarno river which is one of the most polluted river in Europe. A water restoration program covering the rationalisation of the water use between industry and irrigation is in progress for this river. However, no use for fire ...

The influence of -irradiation on high density polyethylene/ ethylene—vinyl acetate copolymer composites consisting of ammonium polyphosphate and nylon 6 as intumescent flame-retardant additives is investigated. Cone calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared have been performed to characterize their flammability and thermal properties. The irradiated samples show ...
Protection against Sparks and Fires GGE proposes systems, active or passive, capable of reducing the probability that a spark (ignition of the fire) can reach the filter. In the unfortunate event that a fire is generated, GGE is able to offer protection systems that have the purpose of mitigating the effects of this event. The evaluation of the fire protection system varies according to ...
Composite drums are composed of both plastic and steel to create the best of both worlds. Usually, there is a plastic interior with a steel exterior. That way it maintains the safe exterior of steel with the chemical safety and resistance of plastic drum interiors. We currently offer Composite Drums and Composite IBC’s. With the introduction of two materials together in a manner that is ...
This paper addresses the safety aspects of local shopping malls. There are concerns about occupant density, high fire load and inadequate fire safety provisions such as passive building design, active fire protection and fire safety management. Therefore, a preliminary study on such a shopping mall was carried out in order to understand the potential fire hazard. A site survey was carried out to ...
Chief among these safety features is fire protection. There are myriad codes and regulations relating to fire safety in commercial buildings, from standards on portable fire extinguishers to the installation of stationary pumps for fire protection — the U.S.- based National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) alone has more than 300 consensus codes that have been adopted in whole or in part in ...
This year’s NFPA, National Fire Protection Association exhibition was held in a very wet and windy Boston. Unseasonably cool, the city’s main exhibition centre held the 2017 NFPA conference and discussion forums with a busy exhibition showcasing the latest technologies within the fire protection remit. Held over four days, the event provides a platform for professionals within the ...
Abstract The immediate warning of a bioterrorist attack in progress will reduce its effectiveness significantly. However, concern for the serious economic consequences of false positive alarms, has resulted in a predominant emphasis on identification-based detection concepts. These, in turn, require that the collected agents be biochemically analyzed or tested. Because of the great number and ...
