Abstract
A description of the international regulations and requirements governing the use of automatic sprinklers and water spray systems in ships, it provides a useful basis of comparison for the proposed use of water mist in similar applications, especially regarding the types of tests used to ensure operating efficiency and robustness of equipment. It cites the baseline sprinkler water application rate of 5 mm/min over 280 m2.
