Abstract
This report covers the utilization of a gas-analyzing instrument for evaluating aircraft fire-extinguishing systems. This instrument records the extinguishing-agent air concentrations resulting when the extinguishing system is discharged, and thereby provides a means of evaluating the aircraft extinguishing system under actual flight conditions. This report is intended to serve as an instruction manual for installation and operation of the instruments. Calibration data based on available information to aid in the reduction and interpretation of the test data obtained also are included. The instrument and the principles of operation are described briefly.
