- Abstract
- The Fire Research Station was approached by the Department of Energy for an assessment of tests on offshore structrual elements with respect to a fire involving a hydrocarbon fuel. Such a fire will be more intense than a 'normal' building fire represented by BS 476 and other existing tests. Initially only open air spill and pool fires were considered.
