A STUDY OF THE USAF SCHOOL OF AEROSPACE MEDICINE HUMAN CENTRIFUGE.
Abstract
A study was made of the fire hazards peculiar to the equipment and operation of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine Human Centrifuge at Brooks Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. This study was based on present Air Force Standards. No major hazards were found, however, recommendations are presented which provide more in-depth protection for the centrifuge as it now exists. The major recommendation is the installation of a fire-fog deluge system (with alarm) in the pump room and sub-pit where the storage of combustibles is necessary. (Author)
