- Abstract
- FPETOOL is a computerized package of relatively simple engineering equations and models. It contains engineering tools useful in estimating potential fire hazard and the response of the space and fire protection systems to the developing hazard. The computations use established engineering relationships, which are discussed in this paper for the benefit of engineers and others interested in using the tools in the package.
