REGION OF NONCOMBUSTION, FLAMMABILITY LIMITS OF HYDROGEN-OXYGEN MIXTURES, FULL SCALE COMBUSTION AND EXTINGUISHING TESTS AND SCREENING OF FLAME-RESISTANT MATERIALS.

Abstract

Research during the second and third years of this contract has centered around five general areas: the determination of the region of noncombustion in compressed breathing gases, the determination of the upper flammability limits of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at superatmospheric pressures, screening of flame resistant materials and recommendations of end-item diving products, full scale combustion tests in the decompression chamber and high-expansion foam fire extinguishing tests. The report also includes an updated survey of the literature and sections on anticipated future studies and apparatus and technique. (Author)
