Abstract
A gas analyzer for evaluating aircraft fire-extinguishing systems was calibrated for use with carbon dioxide, methyl bromide, and bromochloromethane. Extensive application of the analyzer in evaluating the carbon dioxide system of the SX-45 powerplant proved it to be of practical value. Operation of the instrument in flight proved satisfactory.
