- Abstract
- The basic objective is to evaluate "off-the-shelf" equipment which, if it performed satisfacorily, could be installed in existing chambers to minimize the amount of time the chamber would be out of commission. This paper discusses fire extinguihsment in a hypobaric environment, fire extinguishing in a hyperbaric environment, and protective clothing evaluations.
