SR76 Performance of fire detectors in residential buildings (2007)

Product Description

The effectiveness of smoke alarms in providing early warning of developing fire hazards is demonstrated by comparing experimental results on various early fire development scenarios of both smouldering and flaming fire types and combinations of doors open or closed.

A combination fire scenario, including a prolonged smouldering phase and subsequent full development, is compared with a computer model for various installations of smoke alarms to determine probable occupant responses and survival.
